... We describe a new library (AST) which provides a flexible high-level programming interface for handling world coordinate systems in astronomy and for producing graphical output. ... Relationships between coordinate systems are represented within AST by objects called Mappings. ... While Mappings represent the relationships between coordinate systems, the coordinate systems themselves are represented by objects called Frames. ... Like all objects, a Frame also provides methods. ...

The atthkgen output file is accessed by attcalc for the mean and median pointing values over the observation (nothing else, when attitudelabel =ahf, attcalc calls the OAL anew). If this file (default name: atthk.dat ) doesn't exist in the current directory, a warning message is given, and no PNT attributes are propagated. A boolean parameter withatthkgen exists to determine whether the task should use any atthkgen output file. ...

... Archives . ... People . ... At least two images for reconstructing a 3D scene is a conventional belief. ... Luckily you can test such progress, reconstructing a 3D scene from a single still image at Make3D (a click brings you to Make3D at Stanford). Among thousands of pictures, there are only a few astronomical pictures, a few galaxies and a nebula and reconstructing 3D astronomical scenes from these small number of single still images is disappointing to me compared to other types of images. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

... Representing Coordinate Systems (Frames) While Mappings represent the relationships between coordinate systems, the coordinate systems themselves are represented by objects called Frames. ... A Plot's base Frame corresponds with the native coordinates of the underlying graphics system. Plotting operations are specified, using AST Plot methods, in physical coordinates which correspond with the Plot's current Frame (typically this might be a celestial coordinate system). ...
