More than 2.3% of the sources are flagged as spurious. ... Type II error is claiming no signal when there is signal (failing to reject the null hypothesis when the alternative is true). Type I error is rejecting the null hypothesis when the null is true, i.e. detecting signal under no signal. ... Chandra Blog . ...

Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared spectroscopy has been obtained for 15 carbon-rich protoplanetary nebulae (PPNe) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and for two other such stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Of these 17 PPNe, the unidentified 21 ѕ®m feature is strong in 7 spectra, weak in 2 spectra, and very weak or questionable in 4 spectra. ... The remaining two objects show typical carbon-rich PPNe spectra with no 21 ѕ®m features. ...

... The derived position here agrees with the position from recent ATCA observations, RA=15h 01m 34.74s, Dec=39 18 39.2" (Tasker, private communication) which found the source unresolved. Because of the relatively large position offset, the reality of the fainter component 0.12" to the west is somewhat in doubt. However, the ATCA centroid position is offset by 0.3" to the south-east of the VLBA position, suggesting that the faint component may be part of more extended structure. ...

1000 of these sources, however, remains a mystery; these are the so-called unassociated gamma-ray sources, with no known astrophysical counterpart at any other wavelength. While many LAT unassociated sources likely belong to known classes of objects (e.g. pulsars), a more exotic origin for some of these sources is also possible (e.g. dark matter annihilation). ... These results will aid further studies and follow-up observations of LAT unassociated sources. ...

Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...
