... This thread contains a step-by-step recipe to extract MOS spectra of a point-like source observed in Imaging mode and to create associated response matrices, starting from a calibrated, concatenated event list (either produced with emproc or available as PPS product; here it has the assumed file name MOS.fits ). ... The users should note that the SAS metatask xmmselect allows them to interactively define source and background regions (via ds9) and to run backscale on the fly. ...

... A data set contains a science frame and all its associated calibration frames. In order to archive a maximum of efficiency the CCD package uses a simple and straightforward naming convention: the names of the data sets are identical to the names of the science frames. ... By combining the calibration frames of a particular exposure type ( e.g. bias) the user can create a master calibration frame. ... Below follows a listing of calibration frames that currently can be handling in the CCD package. ...

... The absolute photometric accuracy of FOC observations depends on several factors. ... The remaining errors most likely arise from: 1) errors in the published fluxes or variations in fluxes of the spectrophotometric stars used to calibrate the absolute DQE, 2) errors in the assumed PSFs, 3) errors in the assumed filter transmission curves, 4) format dependence effects, 5) temporal variability in the FOC detectors, and 6) the spectrum of the source. ... Errors in the assumed filter transmission curves...

A raster of Azimuth scans with steps of 1.5' in zenith-angle offset about the instantaneous direction of the countinuum calibrator 3C286 was used to map the beam responses of all the 7 beams of ALFA. The animations below show the individual beam responses and their collective response associated with the two polarizations separately. ... The gain estimates (in K/Jy) here assume the L-band flux density of 3C286 to be 14.4 Jy. ...

We present and disucss observations of a flare event on the dM4.5e star AT Mic (Gl 799AB). These data show evidence of an energetic flare with a radiated energy of 3 10$^{31}$ erg in the range 3600-4200$\AA$. ... Simple models were applied to derive order of magnitude estimates for the mass and kinetic energy budget of the flare for assumed electron density, ionization fraction and temperature values. ... Key words: stars: flares - stars: UV ceti-type - stars: magetic activity ...

... Briefly, the count rate at the detector from a source at a redshift z is . ... Another possible way that could lead to arising diverse peculiarities in the - distribution induced by the sources evolution is connected with a possible non-monotonic character of the star formation rate in galaxies. ... The most prominent feature of the obtained theoretical - is a notable sharp increase at low count rates due to evolutionary effects. ...

My research interests are focussed on the theory and modelling of accretion processes as well as star and planet formation mechanisms. I am particularly interested in the stability properties of accretion discs, the generation of MHD turbulence and associated angular momentum transport, disk - planet interactions and the origin and characteristics of jets and winds from accreting systems . ...

... Early studies of PMS stars focused on T associations, especially Taurus-Auriga. However, one might expect low mass star formation to be different in OB associations. ... He identified Orion OB1a as the stars northwest of the belt. Orion OB1b is composed of the stars near the belt, including the belt stars and Orionis. ... He finds no perceptible distance change within the Orion OB1b association and finds the distance modulus to be 7.8 and 7.9 for Orion OB1a and OB1b respectively. ...

... Using a simple 2-D Gaussian Point Spread Function (PSF) on a constant (flat) sky background, I derive a theoretical photometric and astrometric performance model for analytical and digital PSF-fitting stellar photometry. ... The photometric performance is maximized when either the effective background area or the effective-background-level measurement error is minimized. ... An important, but frequently ignored, noise source is the uncertainty of the measurement of the effective background level ( )...
