... rgsspectrum creates an OGIP-compliant spectrum of counts for a single RGS exposure. ... background-corrected source spectrum . ... Note that although the spatial selection region for the background spectrum is not source-specific, the energy selection region is source-specific, and for this reason the background spectrum is technically source-specific. ...

Next: Galactic Gravitational Wave Background Previous: Structure of the Galaxy . We will call ``transparency'' of the background the ability of the observer to detect a gravitational wave signal other than that produced by binary systems, by means of adjusting variable parameters of an imaginary GW detector (namely, its angular resolution and frequency band), so that less than one occasional binary system falls into the detector's beam at a given frequency in a given direction. ...

. Borut Prasnikar from Skofja Loka, Slovenia, took this image of Comet PANSTARRS at Krizna Gora, Slovenia, on March 21. He used a Nikon D300 DSLR with a 300mm f/4 Nikkor lens set at f/4. He set his camera to ISO 800 and took twenty-one 20-second exposures, which he stacked. Finally, he subtracted some of the background to show the comet's tail structure better, and created this final image. Borut Prasnikar

When Black Holes Collide . ... Credit Copyright: Simulating Extreme Spacetimes Collaboration Explanation: What happens when two black holes collide? ... The black regions indicate the event horizons of the dynamic duo , while a surrounding ring of shifting background stars indicates the position of their combined Einstein ring .

... To address the problem of point-source photometry in restored images Lucy (1994) suggested a two-channel photometric restoration method in which the points are represented as functions in one channel and the background, constrained to be smooth by an additional entropy constraint, in the other. ... In the new CPLUCY implementation the stars can be at arbitrary x , y sub-pixel positions but the entropy constraint on the background, used by PLUCY, is retained. ...

The overall efficiency (including atmospheric transmission, reflectivity of the telescope mirrors and overall efficiency of the optics and of the detector) for broad-band imaging should be about 25% in H and K, and about 15% in J. The main noise source for both broad- and narrow-band imaging should be the photon noise associated to the background+source flux. ... Flat fielding (and possibly background subtraction) might increase the noise by a factor 2 ? ...
