... BADPIX NO 2 Changes This release comprises two fundamental issues concerning bad pixels:  a number of so-called "low count" columns was established by an analysis performed at SRON with science data. ... They contain for each period in time the same bad pixels / columns they had in the former valid releases with the adding of the "low count" columns as advisory hot columns. ... Five "low count" columns in RGS1 and one in RGS2 are agged in the new CCFs (0012 to 0014) as advisory hot columns. ...

... Several attempts to discover the FICN signal in VLBI nutation series made during last years failed. ... We investigated several VLBI CPO series by means of spectral and wavelet analysis. It has been shown that there are several periodic signals with close amplitude around the expected FICN period without any prevailing one that can be reliably associated with the FICN. ... DATA ANALYSIS We analyzed several CPO series obtained in IVS analysis centers by means of spectral and wavelet analysis. ...

MAKING THE PROFILES . First of all you are expected to load a FITS file ("FILE"-"LOAD"). ... By pressing the middle button you copy the profile from the first profile window to the second one. ... An example: first integral can correspond to the profile of active region and second integral can correspond to the profile of quiet chromospheric region. ... The second profile (which is subtracted from the first one) you extract after clicking on "SUBTRACT"-"MARK QUIET PROFILE" and marking the region. ...

... 314 Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems XIII, eds. F. Ochsenbein, M. Allen, & D. Egret (San Francisco: ASP), 812 . ... Abstract: The calculation of flux upper limits in the source-free ("background") regions of photon-limited images is complicated by instrumental and statistical modeling and requires non-trivial computational effort. ... The principal component in this is the time taken to pre-process and handle the 30 GB of RASS data rather than the calculation of each upper limit. ...

... Searches for Star Formation in Damped Systems . ... The objective was to measure the star-formation rates in these systems. However, no H emission was detected above our limits of Wm -2 , corresponding to star formation rates ( q 0 =0.5). ... For q 0 =0.5 our limits are in conflict with the star formation rates predicted under the assumption that the high- z DLAs are the fully-formed galactic-disk counterparts of today's massive spiral galaxies. ...
