... efftplot (efftplot-2.17) [xmmsas_20070708_1801-7.1.0] . ... The parameters of powspec are computed from the parameters of efftplot , such that for each energy band, only one time-averaged PDS is computed. Then for each energy band, efftplot reads the PDS into the FITS file produced by powspec , and plots it with the PGPLOT library. ... 1 : PDS is normalized such that the (white) noise level expected corresponds to a power value of 2. ... 2 : as =2, but the expected white noise level is subtracted. ...

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 ? ...

Trail encounter . ... Expected meteor rates . ... The Leonids are the debris of Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. ... The Earth's passage right through the centre of trails is associated with the most spectacular meteor displays (studies show that, as well as how close to the centre of the trail you are, the strength of the display also depends on how far along a trail's length you are). ... The encounter with the 1932 trail will lead to enhanced meteor activity: a nice outburst, but below storm level. ...

... 96.1655Garwood+ We presented results from a continuum VLA snapshot survey of the galactic plane in the longitude range 0d < l < 90d at 1.5 GHz. Observations were taken every 0.5^o in longitude at b=0^o. Most fields are complete to about 30 mJy peak density. The positions, peak, and total flux density of 471 compact sources (<30") have been measured. ... This catalog contains results from a continuum VLA snapshot survey of the galactic plane in the longitude range 0d < l < 90d at 1.5 GHz. ...

... These are ``quirks'' rather than ``bugs''. Below is a list of quirks. When loading a file and ``Reset Intensity Upon File Load'' is disabled, the intensity range of the previous image will be used. ... When moving between two images (such as when blinking, or when loading a new image), the display system attempts to retain the old image parameters (i.e. zoom box). What is retained are the corners of the zoom box measured in image pixel co-ordinates, not world co-ordinates. ...
