... Luminosity (L) · · · · A source's luminosity is the power that it emits in radiation. ... NB Astronomers often say `flux' when they mean `flux density' · SI units are Wm-2Hz -1 -26 filter · Also used are Jy 10 Wm-2Hz -1 E= РРРF d dA dt Specific Intensity, Surface Brightness (I) · Specific intensity (or surface brightness) is the power received (or emitted) per unit area per unit frequency per unit solid angle. ч F at surface of a spherical source = I · · Specific intensity is independent of distance...

... Up: Science Data Pipelines . ... We designed and developed a package which simulates extragalactic point source data within a given field of view and SIRTF band. ... The simulator is modular and extensible to enable multi-wavelength simulations, has been optimized by utilizing parallel processing capabilities, and will be used to test pipeline software. ...

... Miriad has a couple of tasks available for finding positions of sources (see also cgcurs in Chapter 17 ). ... It fits a 2-D parabola to the image intensities in a 3 by 3 pixel box centred on the brightest pixel in a specified region and reports the fitted location and intensity. ... Input image . ... The quality of your fit can improve significantly by selecting a snug region, and/or using the clip keyword to keep pixel values with little signal (e.g. sidelobes and noise) out of the fitting process....

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

... The source exhibits a mas-scale structure which, according to the USNO multi-epoch monitoring at 2.3 and 8.4 GHz over the period from 1994 July through 1998 April, undergoes considerable changes in the brightness distribution and positions of the major structural features. Our image is qualitatively consistent with the structural pattern of the source. ... We note a difference of ~90 in position angles of secondary components in our image and the 5 GHz VLBI image by Shen et al. 1998). ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...
