... specadd creates a multiple X-ray spectrum FITS file by stacking or putting together (``adding'') two single spectrum files. ... This type of spectral files is particularly useful when the user wants to simultaneously analyse different observations of the same object carried out with the same instrument or with different instruments. ... The Data extension for a multiple spectral dataset stores one single spectrum per row, instead of one channel per row as it is the case of single spectrum files. ...

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DATABASE . It is a matter of common knoledge, that solar magnetic fields and, in particular, magnetic fields of sunspots, play important role in many solar events. In Pulkovo observatory the long-term data set of daily observations of magnetic fields of solar sunspots was accumulated, which contains great potential for further researches in solar physics. ... Second section includes files containing sum data about magnetic fields for every observational day. ...

... This review presents the results of Scenario Machine computations aimed at the population synthesis of different types of binary stars in our Galaxy and another galaxies. They demonstrate the ability of this method to make an important gross analysis of the modern scenarios for binary evolution, as well as to give interesting qualitative and quantitative predictions which can be checked observationally. ... The future development of the method can be considered from two different points of view. ...

The methods described here are generally sufficient to cover a wide range of echelle formats. ...

... SFIT is a general-purpose code designed to optimize theoretical stellar spectra to an observed spectrum. ... While the programme expects input from "stdio", it is more natural to save commands in a file (eg "sfit_input") and run the code simply by . ... If the spectra to be fitted have a filename "star_spectrum", then the best fit spectrum will be written out, together with the renormalized input spectrum, to a file called "star_spectrum.fit". ... sets up model spectrum grid (and for 2nd star) . ...

... Press Releases . ... Release Notes . ... All of the functionality of PyFITS is now available in Astropy as the astropy.io.fits package, which is now publicly available. Although we will continue to release PyFITS separately in the short term, including any critical bug fixes, we will eventually stop releasing new versions of PyFITS as a stand-alone product. ... Prior to PyFITS version 2.0 and beginning again with PyFITS version 2.3.1 (June 3 2010) PyFITS is covered under a BSD license. ...

... Information about a variety of different calendars for different cultures (e.g., Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Chinese, Hindu etc.) ... In addition, the Chinese had two different ways of interpreting and observing celestial events. One way the Chinese used astronomy was known as lifa; it was a discipline that aimed to understand the regularities and the predictable events in the celestial system through careful, observations, measurements and records. ... back to Teachers' Newsletter Main Page ...

. There are several different shells available for Unix; the most popular are described here. You can use any one of these shells if they are available on your system. And you can switch between the different shells once you have found out if they are available. Bourne shell (sh) . C shell (csh) . TC shell (tcsh) . Korn shell (ksh) . Bourne Again SHell (bash) .

... The Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) conference is held each year at a different hosting astronomical institution. The conference provides a forum for scientists and programmers concerned with algorithms, software and software systems employed in the acquisition, reduction, analysis, and dissemination of astronomical data. ... The 26th annual ADASS conference will be held from October 16th to 20th, 2016 at the Stazione Marittima Conference Centre , Trieste, Italy. ...

... 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 program begins with a residential summer institute at the Arecibo Observatory. ... The summer program will introduce the conceptual base (atmosphere science, geology), and provide the hands-on activities with the technology and equipment that will be used to carry out the research projects. At the end of the year, participants will report their findings to colleagues and mentors in a geoscience congress that will be organized at the Arecibo Observatory. ... Arecibo Geoscience Congress . ...

A workshop to discuss the detailed science, technical design, performance and implementation plan for aperture arrays in Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the SKA. In particular we will emphasise the achievable requirements for the low frequency aperture array for SKA 1 and discuss the evolution to AA-mid in SKA 2 . ... SKA 1 : SKA phase 1, construction 2016 - 2019, science operation 2020 . SKA 2 : SKA phase 2, construction 2018 - 2023, science operation 2024 . ... Workshop dates . 8-10 December . ...

PROJECT SUMMARY (max 3000 characters) The principal goals of the project are the observational and theoretical investigation of complex cosmic objects where the processes of dust scattering, absorption and emission play significant roles. ... Development of light scattering theory and computer codes to calculate the optical properties of non-spherical inhomogeneous particles and laboratory measurements of light scattering characteristics of irregularly shaped particles. ...

... One of the most obvious features of the plasma state is the rich variety of wave motions which plasmas can support. ... Some important wave parameters in general are: . ... The way the dispersion relation is calculated depends on the adopted plasma theory , which also determines the available wave modes. ... the more complicated the medium is, the more wave modes it support (we cannot have, e.g., ion plasma waves if ion motion is neglected in the first place, no matter how hot plasma is considered!)...

Each file type known to SAOtng can have user-defined analysis commands associated with it. ... A help line describing the file types . ... For example, the default analysis file currently contains the following: # # Analysis command descriptions: # help # file templates # file types # analysis command line counts -- number of events in region (no background) *.qp *.imh QPOE IMH uiraf '${xraybin}'/x_xspatial.e imcnts source='${filename}' region=$sregion bkgd=0 table=NONE | ...

Next: One example Up: No Title Previous: No Title . Wavelets are versatile tools of harmonic analysis. Because of their many uses, the word `wavelet' comes with different connotations (and different promises) to users in different fields. ... To pursue the analogy, one may wish to select from the data some contact surfaces with specific finish tolerances. the amount of information is then reduced by selection and/or by statistical means. ...

... Input via keyin format is of the form keyword = value . ... The input keywords are not case sensitive. Most of the values required by SCHED, except for file names in case sensitive systems like unix, are also not case sensitive. keywords are, in all cases, limited to 8 characters in length. ... Keyin values can be mathematical statements in parenthesis; for example, dur = 15 rep = (4*5) This example shows the most likely way in which this capability might be used in SCHED input files. ...
