... This task constructs the PPS product OM OSW FITS source timeseries from two rate files (source and background) produced by separate runs of EVSELECT on a tracking-shifted, QE-corrected OM fast-mode event-list. ... The counts measured in the source and `background` regions, together with the PSF function evaluated over the corresponding regions, are used to set up equations which are then solved to yield source and background rates evaluated for the nomimal coincidence-loss region (r=12 pixels). ...

This diagram shows the six superimposed "layers" of the CSS table model. This diagram illustrates the algorithm for calculating a cell's final background. ... The diagram shows how, looking down on the six rectangles, one may compute the background color of each cell. ... A cell without a background color in the top layer is depicted as a "window" onto the lower layers, which give its final background color. ...

... A technique allowing automatic representation by a relatively small number of independent parameters based on the principal component analysis of data sequences is presented. ... In recent years the spectrum of observed astronomical data can be characterized as greatly varied. ... In this instance, the problem of initial description and classification of newly-observed data becomes most urgent, especially if there is a lack of preliminary observational material and theoretical expectations. ...

Next: Echelle Reduction Method Up: No Title Previous: Example . This Chapter provides the basic information necessary to understand the echelle љ package implemented in MIDAS . ... Tutorial examples are available in the system (command TUTORIAL/ECHELLE ) and are also included in the Appendix so that users without previous experience in MIDAS could become familiar with the calibration procedures. ... Reduction steps which are not specific to echelle spectra are described in more detail in Chapter . ...

. The polar diagram shows the spacecraft corrected geomagnetic co-ordinates : co-latitude - local time . The geomagnetic co-latitude in the range (10 ° , 50 ° ) is shown with 10 ° step. The geomagnetic local time meridians correspond to 6, 12 and 18 hours. The different colours are used for each of the 4 spacecraft. On the plot the SC names are shown by the corresponding colours.

Describes how funtools can be integrated into the ds9 Analysis menu. SAOImage/DS9 is an astronomical imaging and data visualization application used by astronomers around the world. DS9 can display standard astronomical FITS images and binary tables, but also has support for displaying raw array files, shared memory files, and data files automatically retrieved via FTP and HTTP. ... It can be manually loaded into DS9 from the Load Analysis Commands ... option of the Analysis menu. ...

Name: PGGRAY Purpose: gray-scale map of a 2D data array Category: GRAPHICS File: pgplot.src Author: T.J. Pearson Use: see description below. ... The subsection of the array A defined by indices (I1:I2, J1:J2) is mapped onto the view surface world-coordinate system by the transformation matrix TR. ... PGGRAY uses two different algorithms, depending how many color indices are available in the color index range specified for images. ... Arguments: A (input) : the array to be plotted. ...

... Microlocal Analysis is a theory of Pseudo-Differential Operators and Fourier Integral Operators (PDOs and FIOs). ... Microlocal analysis comes in few flavors. ... We will consider semi-classical PDOs and FIOs: one can always get from there to standard PDOs and FIOs but semi-classical theory has more applications. Less formal description of (semi-classical) microlocal analysis is ``a semi-classical limit of quantum mechanics'' or ``high-frequency limit of electrodynamics'' (etc). ...

... The analysis and reduction of the STIS flanking fields proceeded in similar fashion as for the imaging of the Main STIS Field. ... The DARK calibration reference file used in the CALSTIS data reduction steps was constructed using a 'delta-dark' image appropriate for the epoch of the flanking field observations. ... DRIZZLE drop-size used for the flanking fields was a "pixfrac" of 0.8. ... For information on the data reduction, please read first the technical information for the Main WFPC2 Field . ...

Section I: Introduction to ALFA and GALFA . Section II: System Description . ... ALFA receives 7 beams, 2 polarizations per beam, each covering 1225-1525 MHz. The 14 IF signals cover nominally the 100 to 400 MHz band. ... A high-resolution, low-bandwidth spectrometer (8K channels covering a 7 MHz bandwidth) . ... Each spectrometer board handles two polarizations from one telescope beam.The baseband signals are to be digitized by four 8-bit ADCs at 100 Msamples/sec. ... Bandwidth: . ...
