... ClassX is a project aimed at creating an automated system to classify X-ray sources and is envisaged as a prototype of the Virtual Observatory. ... The most fundamental are: (a) classification methods and algorithms, (b) selection and definition of classes (object types), and (c) identification of source counterparts across multi-wavelength data. ... Using different sets of training parameters (attributes), we get different classifiers for the same list of class names (e.g., Figure 1). ...

... WFPC2 Home . ... Bright stars near the WFPC2 field of view can cause various artifacts to appear in science images. ... When writing Phase II proposals, observers will sometimes attempt to avoid bright stars by placing them in the un-imaged "L" shaped region adjacent to CCD PC1, or in the region just outside the nominal field of view. ... In both cases the optics can image this light back onto the CCD's. Bright stars must be placed at least 10 arcseconds outside the field to avoid artifacts. ...

XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... A different approach is done via the setting withctisrcpos =Y: all event energy corrections do not use the actual RAWY coordinate but the corresponding RAWY location of the source ( SRCPOS ) as determined by the task epframes (either automatically or via setting withsrccoords =Y). ... The task epchain may be used with the setting ccds =4 withctisrcpos =Y to process only the CCD 4 where usually the bright source is located that causes the Out-of-Time events. ...

For Gaussian HI spectra the difference is slightly more, but for irrgeular galaxies, pairs and groups many different shapes are observed. ... Some trend towards detecting more narrow-width galaxies at higher velocities is visible. ...

Two major reasons: the number of stars isn't really seven (it's many more), and they all have different brightnesses, so that you see more or fewer of them depending on viewing conditions. The brightness of stars is measured on the magnitude scale, where the most prominent stars in the sky are around 1st magnitude, and the faintest you can see with your eye are about 6th. ... I think this makes it quite likely that the list will be truncated at Taygeta, giving six visible stars. ...
