For historical reasons, it is useful to offer comparisons between the current WFPC2, and its predecessor WF/PC-1, which was returned to Earth in December 1993. Field format: WF/PC-1 contained 8 cameras and CCDs, each CCD having 800 x 800 pixels. ... Many differences derive from the fact that the WF/PC-1 CCDs were thinned, backside illuminated devices whereas the WFPC2 CCDs are thick, frontside illuminated devices. ... WFPC2 devices have much less CTE error, and hence no preflash is used. ...

NIC-FPS is an instrument combining the capabilities of a near-infrared imaging camera with a cryogenic Fabry-Perot etalon currently under development at the Center for Space Astrophysics and Space Astronomy , University of Colorado with support from Rice University , Ball Aerospace and the Astrophysical Research Consortium. It is scheduled to begin operations on the ARC 3.5m telescope at Apache Point Observatory in 2004. ...

Next: Instrument Response Correction Up: Echelle Spectra Previous: Resampling and checking . ... This effect is constant for a given setting and it can be effectively corrected by dividing the object image by a flat--field exposure taken with the same instrument configuration. ... The flat--field correction is done with the command COMPUTE/IMAGE , this command divides the background subtracted OBJ by the normalised flat--field as computed by the command FLAT/ECHELLE . ...

. The following is a list of the currently installed versions of the CIMA. The links refer to the CIMA version log page . Normal: version 3.0 - this is the next version of CIMA which has become the new default version --- NOTE that this version uses a new syntax for command file observations, uses new configuration files and needs source files with full velocity information . Old: version 2.2 - this is the old version of CIMA You can return to the main CIMA page by clicking here .

... ALMA . ... OOF software . ... Software . ... We present a framework for modelling atmospheric phase errors and their correction by both the fast-switching and water vapour radiometeric techniques. Notable features are simulating three dimensional turbulent volumes instead of flat phase screens, considering three representative configurations of ALMA and parametrisation in terms of phase fluctuations on a 300m baseline, allowing referencing to the site-testing interferometer data. ...

... Files in red?history) . ... Auroral Currents . 25H. Birkeland Currents . ... As noted earlier Kristian Birkeland, reporting in 1903 on his expeditions to the auroral zone, proposed that magnetic disturbances accompanying the aurora were caused by large electric currents flowing down the length of auroral formations. ... In later years these currents became known as the auroral electrojets , and considerable debate ranged over their cause and the way their circuit might be completed. ...
