. You can define a file or directory by its location in relation to your current directory . The pathname is given as / (slash) separated list of the directories on the route to the file (or directory) from your current directory. A ..

We investigate the relative importance of starbursts and active galactic nuclei (AGN) in nuclear activities of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) based on chemodynamical simulations combined with spectrophotometric synthesis codes. We numerically investigate both the gas accretion rates (ARs; m acc ) on to supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the star formation rates (SFRs; m sf ) in ULIRGs formed by gas-rich galaxy mergers and thereby discuss what powers ULIRGs. ...

... Therefore, we see that some spectral resolution is achieved by selection of the wavelet size, and some temporal resolution follows from the location of the wavelet relative to the signal (Fig. ... Figure 6: Contour line representation of the wavelet transform for a near-continuum of durations. We can identify the individual peaks and troughs of the cosine wave as well as their frequency: this compromise between the temporal domain and the spectral domain is the hallmark of wavelet transforms. ...

... The very first step after correcting bias, dark, and overscan is to find the edges of the slitlets. This is done by the command LOCATE/MOS . This command takes the central trace of a flat-field and detects the edges of the slitlet by simple threshold comparison. ... The offsets in dispersion direction between the slitlets will be read from the header of the flat-field frame for FORS data and stored in :xoffset . ... The actual flat-correction is then performed with COMPUTE/IMAGE . ...
