XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... Meta Index / Home Page / Description / Exposure corrections in detail: . A proportion of detected events are `minimum ionising particles' (MIPs). During each ccd frame, pixels occupied by a MIP are not free to detect an xray; hence MIPs lead to xray flux loss. The fraction of affected pixels is stored in the FRACEXP column of the EXPOSUnn extensions (the `nn' indicating the ccd/node) of the event list. ... XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2004-11-22 ...

... For observations we selected all Case galaxies in the zone = - from the Case lists III, IV, V, VIII, XI, XII and XIII which were classified in the Case survey by some indication on presense of [O III ] 4959,5007 emission lines (vs - very strong, s - strong, m - medium, w - weak, w? - weak?) and which had not been observed yet. ... Аdditionally nine Markarian galaxies in the same sky region were observed in hope to have better completeness in picking up all probable BCGs. ...

... Abstract True if an error condition has been signalled via sigerr_c . ... The status value applies to the CSPICE routines, and to any other routines which call the status-setting routine, sigerr_c . ... More specifically, when failed_c has the value SPICETRUE, some routine has indicated an error by calling the CSPICE routine, sigerr_c . ... However, here are some notes: When any CSPICE routine detects an error, the status is set to indicate an error condition via a call to sigerr_c . ...

... The standard science quicklook processing produces over a dozen sky maps at each downlink, and these maps are automatically searched for potential transient point sources. ... We have found that a heuristic modification of a formula derived by Li & Ma (1983) provides reasonably accurate estimates of p -values for point source detections even for very low p -value detections. ...

... The effect of the bug has been that timestamps indicating when data was taken (FITS-header keyword CRVAL5) may be off by one second. ... DETAILED DESCRIPTION -------------------- AFFECTED KEYWORD: The affected keyword is: CRVAL5 (time stamp indicating start time of subscan) Synchronisation errors between the 1PPS pulses and the NTP-controlled system clocks have frequently caused the timestamps indicating the start of each subscan (CRVAL5) to be off by one second. ... That problem has also been fixed...

... Microlocal Analysis is a theory of Pseudo-Differential Operators and Fourier Integral Operators (PDOs and FIOs). ... Microlocal analysis comes in few flavors. ... We will consider semi-classical PDOs and FIOs: one can always get from there to standard PDOs and FIOs but semi-classical theory has more applications. Less formal description of (semi-classical) microlocal analysis is ``a semi-classical limit of quantum mechanics'' or ``high-frequency limit of electrodynamics'' (etc). ...
