... 2001 August 20 . The Lagoon Nebula in Three Colors . ... Explanation: The bright Lagoon Nebula is home to a diverse array of astronomical objects. Particularly interesting sources include a bright open cluster of stars and several energetic star-forming regions . When viewed by eye, cluster light is dominated by an overall red glow that is caused by luminous hydrogen gas , while the dark filaments are caused by absorption by dense lanes of dust . ...

... The algorithm has been successfully applied to both real and simulated astronomical data (Jefferies , 1993; Jefferies 1993) and its ability to accurately preserve photometry in the observed image has been demonstrated. ... In order to investigate the algorithm's performance without the influence of detector and photon noise we took the ``truth'' data set and convolved it with the given PSF to generate a noiseless image. ... The restored object and the two restored PSF's are shown in Fig. ...

... We report on the preliminary results of experiments using a Bayesian cluster method to cluster objects present in photographic images of the POSS-II. ... We believe that the application of such algorithms to large-scale astronomical sky surveys can aid in cataloging the detected objects, and may even have the potential to discover new categories of objects. ... We have thus started to explore new clustering analysis and unsupervised classification techniques for this task. ...

Next: CCD Scientific Performance Up: CCD Operation Previous: CCD Operation . A visible light photon releases only one electron-hole pair, and consequently many photons must be collected in each pixel for a measurable signal to be produced. ... This use as an imaging X-ray spectrometer requires that no more than one photon is incident on each pixel in any image frame, which imposes a requirement that image collection times be limited to ~seconds for typical astronomical applications. ...

... Structure of Data . ... Catalog . ... In SAI OCL Catalog, we introduce our work on investigation of the Milky Way system of open star clusters. The main goal of our study is a search for new clusters using huge surveys. 168 new clusters have been already discovered by us using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS point source catalog. ... For 141 new clusters, we found their physical parameters using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS catalog and, for a number of clusters, our UBVRI CCD observational magnitudes. ...
