... Someone hangs in the sky over there from a piece of rope, hammering and fitting God's belly-scratcher, working his way up along the spire until there's nothing left to nail on--- Perhaps the workman's faith reaches beyond : touches intangibles, wrestles with Jacob, replacing rotten timber with pine thews, pounds hard in the blue cave of the sky , contends heroically with difficult problems of gravity, ... Two shores away, a man hammering in the sky. Perhaps he will fall. ...

Next: Filtering ROSAT HRI data Up: ROSAT HRI Recipes Previous: Correlating Spectral Data with . Although the spatial variation of the quantum efficiency across the HRI is nominally within 10% for most of the detector, occasionally it may be desirable to flat-field a map with preflight calibration measurements. ... Store the new gain map image using ``blink" in SaoImage. ... The quantum efficiency correction (QEC) is the inverse of the intensity determined from the QE map at the source position. ...

... The most important tool you have to see the universe is not the large light buckets that are proliferating, but rather your eyes. ... Light enters the eye through the cornea, passes across the aqueous humor (the liquid behind the cornea), passes through the pupil and through the lens. ... After passing the lens, the light then crosses the "vitreous Humor" a jelly-like substance that fills the inner eye, and reaches the retina, the light sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. ...

Next: Resampling the Data Up: Geometric Correction Previous: Getting the Dispersion . The distortion љ along the slit can be modelled using an image containing one or several spectra of (ideally: point-) sources with well defined continuum. ... If the resulting coefficients are stored in the keyword COEFY*, (*=I,R,D) and combined with suitable (if necessary: dummy) coefficients for the dispersion resolution in the keyword KEYLONG*, (*=I,R,D) , the command RECTIFY/LONG can be applied. ...

Next: Dark current and cooling Up: CCD Scientific Performance Previous: Particle Background Rejection . ... A standard TV format CCD is only 15mm across its diagonal, and hence substantial effort has had to be expended to increase the size of individual chips, and to develop techniques for mosaicking many chips, efficiently to cover the focal plane areas. ... This aspect alone hints at the complex trade-offs involved in the design of a CCD focal plane. ...

Dr. Plait can also give talks on almost any topic in astronomy given a few weeks notice (for example, for a talk at a science museum he created a talk about current astronomical satellites and the work they are doing to further scientific knowledge -- this talk is updated as new observatories are launched), and will be happy to talk to you about your needs . ...

VIEW OUT OF THE WINDOW FROM ARIZONE, USA . ... Our whole class was excited to share with you what we see when we look out our window here, in Chandler, Arizona. Our classroom has no windows, so we decided to go outside on February 2, 1998, and describe to you what we see. You look out across the desert and you see endless roads and it sees almost as if you are in a dream. It's cold; about 65 degrees F (cold for Chandler, anyway) and there has been a touch of fog this morning. ...

Allows you to specify a drift scan: motion at a constant velocity along a great circle. ... The path starts at the new object position (though the telescope actually intersects the path later, see Subtleties ). ... Note that the units are always /sec for both axes. ... The velocity along the path is 0.01 /sec. ... The path is assumed to start when you hit the Slew button (more precisely, when the TCC parses the command). However, it takes the telescope awhile to slew to meet the specified path. ...
