I recommend reducing the back ground data first, simply because they are needed when averaging point data for the visibility normalization. ... I plot 4 channels at a time, by setting the selection directive initally to Selected and entering the selection 1-4 into the field just below the directive button. ... Write an X into the BG column if you delete this channel based on the back ground data (e.g. channel 11), or write the rate into it when larger than 1.0. ... Back to tour page . ...

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...

Although it is true that neutron stars have, for the most part, consumed all their internal thermonuclear fuel, they tap into other energy sources to produce light. Indeed, neutron stars are remarkably "resourceful" and employ a variety of physical mechanisms to make themselves visible.A newborn neutron star is incredibly hot ? ... Atlas of the Stars . ...
