... Consequently, it is inappropriate to expand and in ordinary spherical harmonics. The proper expansion expresses both and simultaneously in terms of a particular order of generalized spherical harmonics. ... Generalized spherical harmonics start at , and for each , . ... Generalized spherical harmonics obey a sum rule analogous to a familiar one for ordinary spherical harmonics, but it includes an explicit phase factor which depends on the orientation of the two lines of sight. ...

... epevents (epevents-6.42) [xmmsas_20050815_1803-6.5.0] . ... A pattern analysis is made which yields four distinctive parameters: the number of pixels in the structure, the running pattern number within a frame, the pattern orientation (zero for singles and unresolved patterns; otherwise a three digit code, with the last digit specifying the orientation of the pattern and the first two the position of the pixel on the pattern ) and the distance (in pixels ) to neighbouring ...

The following general subroutines belong to the category IR: . ... Tells whether a detector is alive or dead. ( ircc_const.c ) . ... band number given a detector number ( ircc_const.c ) . ... Returns IRAS band numbers ( ircc_const.c ) . ... Returns IRAS detector numbers. ( ircc_const.c ) . ... Returns IRAS the number of detectors. ( ircc_const.c ) . ... Returns SDET number in IRDS for IRAS-ES detector number. ( ircc_const.c ) . ... To read BPHF data for ticks from an IRDS ( irds_samples.c ) . ...

... What follows is the list of talks at the IUM general seminar "Globus" delivered during fall semester, 2005. ... In the 1960s, H. Steinhaus asked whether every closed curve in space has a pair of parallel tangent lines; a curve without parallel tangents is called a skew loop. ... A skew brane is a multidimensional analog of a skew loop: it is a codimension 2 submanifold without parallel tangent spaces. ... There exist totally skew n-dimensional spheres in 3n+2-space, and in 3n+1-space if n is odd. ...

... This generalization gives rise to the four-dimensional time-frequency-scale-chirprate (TFSC) parameter space. ... We then consider the use of multiple analyzing wavelets/windows, first to generalize Thomson's method of spectral estimation to the TF plane, and then to further generalize this result to the chirplet transform. ... We generalize autocorrelation and cross-correlation by using the signal itself (or another signal) as a ``mother chirplet''. ...

... How to ingest general/static calibration files . How to change names of already ingested calibration files . General or static calibration files are usually delivered together with a pipeline installation. ... For safety: copy all general/static calibration files into e.g. $DFO_CAL_DIR/gen_newnames and work there . ... Fix header keywords : use modhead and/or replacekey and verify with dfits . ... Hint when using modhead . ... Rename : use renameProducts to create new names . ...

... IAU XXVIII General Assembly: Special Session #13 . ... Missions . ... IAU Sp. ... The search for, discovery of, and characterization of planets around other stars has led to a complete revitalization of stellar astrophysics. ... Just as important, those searches for weak signals from the planet-hosting star have produced a rich dataset of observations of the stars themselves. ... The time-series observations from these missions and projects can be examined in many ways to gain insight into stars. ...

... commands . scl . ... echo on | off : echo input commands to "stdout" . end : exit program . exit : exit program . ... Valid parameter groups are currently: meth, cont, data, slv, syn, gen, macro, all define <macro_name> : define a macro . The macro is defined by additional commands on the same and subsequent input lines up to the next "end" statement. For example: define my_fit; slv_teff1 25.0 1.0; solve; end run >macro_name< : run a previously defined macro . ...
