In this section we present plots which may be used to rapidly estimate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for point sources with stellar spectra observed through popular WFPC2 filters. ... One uses these plots as follows: . ... Dotted lines across the top of each plot indicate the onset of saturation. ... We look at Figure B.10 and find this value on the horizontal axis. ... This exposure is well below the saturation lines in the plot, so saturation is not a concern. ... 0.45 Figure B.1: Point Source SNR vs. ...

... Next: RegisteringPSF-Matching and Up: Image Restoration and Previous: Improvements in Filter . ... First, an experimental method for locating stellar images by enhancing the sharp cores of stars using a multi-channel entropy minimization technique is described. ... A default PSF may be used to regularize the result. ... Such simultaneous PSF determination can easily be added to the PLUCY two-channel code and a preliminary example of its use on HST data is given in Hook & Lucy (1994). ...

... CentralProcessor 0.11 documentation . ... Only continuum source-finding is done at this point - spectral-line source-finding will be added in the future. The source-finding applies a spatially-varying signal-to-noise threshold, and fits 2D Gaussians to detected islands to create a component catalogue. At this point, only a limited set of Selavy?s possible parameters are made available through these scripts. ... nsubx ( Selavy Basics ) . ... User Parameters - Mosaicking Continuum images . ...

N.B.: The use of imcnts to obtain counts in regions can lead to wrong results when more than one region is used in the same run, if there is any overlap between them, since each pixel can be assigned to ONE AND ONLY ONE region (the last one defined that includes that pixel. See ``help regions''). rsdc@cfa.harvard.edu . ...

... This thread illustrates a step-by-step recipe to perform EPIC sources detection. ... However, some users - in particular SAS novices - may find useful to perform each individual step of the source detection algorithm, to achieve a better control and understanding of its outcomes. ... The event list MOS.evt is assumed to have been already cleaned for high-background intervals, following, e.g. , steps 3. to 5. in the edetect_chain thread . ... An example of MOS background map is shown in Fig.3. ...

The HyperNews Linux KHG Discussion Pages . Forum: The Linux Kernel Hackers' Guide . Re : Linux SMP Scheduling (Angela) . Date: Mon, 16 Mar 1998 16:34:54 GMT . From: Felix Rauch < rauch@inf.ethz.ch > . The definition of NO_PROC_ID can be fount by, e.g., the following command: . find . -name "*.[ch]" -print | xargs grep NO_PROC_ID | grep #define . (assuming you are in the Linux-source-directory). This will show that NO_PROC_ID is defined as follows: . #define NO_PROC_ID 0xFF .

... Chandra Observation of LMXB in M84 . We present characteristics of the X-ray point source population in the M84 field as observed by Chandra ACIS-S. We find the galactic sources in M84 follow the stellar light profile, which imposes similar formation histories for stars in both single and binary systems. After correcting for incompleteness in the source detection, we find a log N-log S similar to that of the elliptical galaxy NGC4697. ...

The green, blue, and dark red lines are all at about the same gain so the measured best position is at least .57 degrees above the surveyed position (it probably wouldn't hurt to redo this since we didn't go over the other side of the gain vs turret position curve). processing:x101/020401/doitsbh.pro The cband beam width at 5 Ghz is about 60 asecs. ... step Used . ...

Comment on J2246-1206 . In contrast to the jet pointing to the NE in our image, the 5 GHz VLBI image of Shen et al. (1998) shows no indication of extended emission above the 20 mJy/beam level. Hong et al. (1999) find a jet component to the SE and identify that with a "superluminal" component possibly ejected in 1992. A 15 GHz image from the USNO database, taken nearly at the same epoch as the image of Hong et al. (1999) does not show any component at this position angle. ...
