Next: *upspecrdf, downspecrdf* - Transform Up: Spectral Analysis Previous: *grid_plot* - Plot Results . The conversion of count rate to flux depends on the intrinsic spectrum of the source, so xflux must be used in conjunction with fit . Fit generates a table of the best fit intrinsic spectrum ( _int.tab extension). xflux uses this table to calculate either the integrated flux between two energy limits or the flux density at a specific energy. ... This produces ``..._obs.tab'' file. ...

RESWRI derives the kinematical parameters from the observed velocity field by fitting tilted-rings to the velocity field and fits harmonic terms after convergence of the ROTCUR part of code. ...

Context. Thermal emission by stochastically heated dust grains (SHGs) plays an important role in the radiative transfer (RT) problem for a dusty medium. ... Aims: We define an appropriate problem for benchmarking dust emissivity calculations in the context of RT simulations, specifically including the emission from SHGs. ... It also includes a series of analytically defined radiation fields to which the dust population is to be exposed and instructions for the desired output. ...

... We have calculated the binary coalescence rate with time using the ``Scenario Machine'' code, which allows us to simulate evolution of large ensembles of binary stars in an artificial galaxy using a Monte Carlo method (see Lipunov 1992, Lipunov et al 1994, 1995 and references therein). ... The source evolution in a galaxy with given star formation rate is thus calculated as , where is the redshift at the turn-on of star formation, which is the second important parameter of the model. ...

Alfa_ang is a GUI for the rotang routine. The purpose of this routine is to calculate the optimum rotation angle for ALFA given the RA and Dec of a source and the date and time of the observation. The routine also returns the azimuth and zenith angle of the telescope at the requested time, thus it can be used to find the correct rotation angle and azimuth for the Fixed Azimuth Drift Scan observing mode used by the AGES drift precursor observation. ... To run alfa_ang at Arecibo: . ...

... Meta Index / Home Page / Description / Specifying source region shapes . When radiusstyle =`contour', the task calculates the source region shape as an elliptical locus which approximates the contour of the PSF at a given flux value. ... Clearly, in order to calculate the shape of such a flux contour, it is necessary firstly to normalize the PSF to the source brightness and secondly to determine the flux level (in `brightness' units per pixel) at which to find the contour. ...

The radio luminosity formula (see Hogg D.W. ) is . where luminosity (bolometric) distance is . and K-correction is . Deceleration parameter is for Lambda = 0. The fitting curve is used for the luminosity calculation in the frequency range choosed. The Hubble constant , the deceleration parameter , the redshift of radio source , and the emission comoving frequency range can be choosed as parameters.

... Meade Instruments Corporation . ... How to Calculate Power . How to Calculate Power: The magnification, or power, at which a telescope is operating is a function of the focal length of the telescope's main (objective) lens (or primary mirror) and the focal length of the eyepiece employed. ... Example: The Meade DS-2070AT telescope has an objective lens focal length of 700mm; when this telescope is used with a 25mm eyepiece, a power of 700/25 = 28 power (written as "28x") results. ... about meade | ...
