Next: Functionality Up: RGS_EXAFS Previous: RGS_EXAFS Contents . EXAFS means Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure. This CCF describes the detailed absorption lengths of different layers of CCDs in the vicinity of absoption edges to facilitate accurate calculation of quantum efficiencies. Away from the edges, the well-known Henke coefficients are used. There are two notable RGS instrumental absorption features by oxygen and fluorine. ... Michael Smith 2011-09-20 ...

... My thesis aims to understand the energetics and composition of the jet near its origin, and its interaction with the ICM , focusing on detailed models of the inner structure of a spectacular radio source Hydra A. The key features of my modelling are that 1) I identify the four bright knots in the northern jet of Hydra A as biconical reconfinement shocks, which result when an over-pressured jet starts to come into equilibrium whit the galactic ...

Next: Coordinate Systems Up: IRAF/PROS Previous: Other Types of Files . A few new features and enhancements to the standard IRAF system have been introduced with the PROS software: . ... Default compound extensions are used by the PROS tasks when no extension is given for the output file name. Most PROS tasks allow the output file name to be defaulted, with the convention that the output file name will be composed of the input `root' name, plus the default extension specific to the task. ...

A very important stage in a story of formation of any new science is the shift from discussion of situation which are possible but do not occur in practice due to some reason to recognition of real phenomena of interest. ... We suggest to consider computer viruses as this new specific form of life which is coming in the contact with our form of life. ... Computer life has been created by human being, the role of independent evolution of computer viruses seems to be still negligible. ...

... As introduced at ADASS I and II (Bland-Hawthorn, Shopbell, & Cecil 1992), a Fabry-Perot analysis package for IRAF is under development as a joint effort of ourselves and the IRAF group. In this paper, we describe an important component of the Fabry-Perot package, the fpplot task for spectral plotting and fitting. ... Automated techniques are essential for quantifying the thousands of spectra in a Fabry-Perot data cube for velocity and photometric studies. ... First there is the display of spectra. ...

... The HH flow associated with young stellar object HL Tau has an exciting history and even until now the origin of some its features is not clear yet. ... Knotty structures of Herbig-Haro jets are common phenomena and knowing the origin of such structures is essential for understanding the processes of jet formation. ...

Comment on J0513-2159 . Our image shows an extension to about 5 mas SE from the brightest feature. The EVN 8 GHz image by Dallacasa et al. (1998), with about five times larger resolution, shows an extension from the brightest feature roughly opposite to our direction. As noted by Dallacasa et al. (1998), the structure detected has a highly inverted spectrum, which, together with the reported variability in the source, could explain the structural disagreement. ...
