... The value of tile-size, NW , may be thought of as a sixth coordinate axis in the chirplet transform parameter space - TF-area. Including this sixth coordinate axis provides us with a hierarchical (multi-resolution) CCT. ... Various 2- D slices through the multiresolution CCT may correspond to useful tilings of the TF plane with true parallelograms (true to the extent that the DPSS define a truly rectangular region in the TF plane). ...

GRANAT is the Russian x-ray sattelite launched to the high apogee orbit (200,000 km) and operated almost for 10 years (1989 -1999) , carrying out four major instruments: French SIGMA coded-mask hard x-ray telescope (30-1000 keV), Soviet ART-P coded-mask telescope (2??-60?? keV), all-sky monitor WATCH (6-150 keV), and a gamma-burst detector PHEBUS . ...

... The MROI makes use of optical interferometry, much like COAST . ... As a major collaborator, the Cambridge Astrophysics Group is currently developing some of the mechanisms below, specifically the delay line and the fast tip-tilt system. ... Fringe tracking is used to control the positions of the delay line trolleys to make sure the light beams from the different telescopes in the MROI arrive at the science camera beam combiners in phase so that an interference pattern can be produced. ...

... The TESIS is a set of solar imaging instruments developed by the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Science, and launched aboard the Russian spacecraft CORONAS-PHOTON on January 30, 2009. The main goal of the TESIS is to provide complex observations of solar active phenomena from the transition region to the inner and outer solar corona with high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution in the EUV and Soft X-ray spectral bands. ...

... The motivation for this task is to create one high resolution response matrix for a set of observations without the need for creating individual high resolution matrices. ... This task creates a single response matrix file using information from a list of spectrum from multiple observations, and can also combine spectra and background spectra of the same instrument and spectral order to produce final files that can be used for futher, quantitative analysis in a fitting package such as Xspec. ...

... December 21, 1997 . ... Advantages are briefly discussed of gaining in spectral resolution, which is accompanied by losses in signal level, as compared with the attempts to improve the accuracy of measurement of line parameters by means of rising the S/N ratio alone with increasing the exposure time. To partially solve the problem of observations of faint objects at the BTA a new design echelle spectrometer is proposed. high resolution spectroscopy . ...
