DWELL is a very similar parameter except that, with DURation , the scan starts GAP seconds (perhaps adjusted by the old parameter PRESCAN after the previous stop time while with DWELL , the scan will start at least GAP seconds after the previous stop time, but, if necessary, will wait longer to allow all antennas to reach the source. ...

Instrument Science Report WFC3 2003-13 A Throughput Tool for WFC3 Thomas M. Brown, Olivia Lupie, Bryan Hilbert, and Sylvia Baggett November 25, 2003 ABSTRACT We have written an IDL program, called wfc3tp.pro, for estimating the count rate on the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) detectors given an input flux. ... By default, the raw (uncorrected) quantum efficiency is used, so that the actual rate on the detector is reported for a given input flux. temp = 243 (default) or 296. ...

... The channel range specified by the TLMIN and TLMAX attributes of the column CHANNEL differs from the intrinsic channel range of the response data. ... If the spectrum contains channels that are a subset of the response range, rmfgen will truncate the response data to match the channel range. corrective action: Pad out or truncate response data to match channel bounds specified in spectral dataset. invalidCCFChannels . ... error . ... The spectrum contains too many data channels. ...

... The measurements themselves should be stored in a column with the label SIGNAL. ... Programs will expect that SIGNAL represents the integration of the photon flux for the exposure time given in the EXPTIME column (see section ). ... In that case, the column label should be RAWMAG; see Table . Programs will expect RAWMAG to be the usual negative logarithms of intensities; that is, RAWMAG values only use EXPTIME in determining weights. ...

... Using the obtained above dependence of compact binary merging rates in the elliptical galaxy on time (Fig. ) and assuming the cosmological origin of GRB as products of binary NS/BH coalescences, we can compute the theoretical - curve. ... Figure: (Right panel) The 2-nd BATSE catalog (solid points) is fitted by the cosmological GRB model (from Lipunov et al. ... Note that the total GRB rate in the Universe is per year, 3 orders of magnitude smaller than the total binary NS merging rate. ...

... Our Solar System is a stellar-planetary unit consisting of the Sun ; the nine planets and their satellites; the asteroids, comets, and meteoroids; and interplanetary dust and gas. The dimensions of this system are specified in terms of the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun, called the astronomical unit (AU). ... The boundary between the solar system and interstellar space - called the heliopause - is estimated to occur somewhere beyond 120 AU. ... Earth . ...

There are two modes to specify the time interval of ephemeris. ... This mode is applicable if the date of opposition belongs to the basic interval of 16 months from November of the year preceding to the title one to February of the subsequent one. In this case the ephemeris is centered at the nearest standard moment (its Julian day minus 0.5 is exactly divisible by 10) which precedes or coincides with the moment of opposition of minor planet in specified year. ...

... The various Inst :Focus scripts allow you to take a series of exposures over a range of secondary mirror focus values, report the resulting FWHMs and optionally adjust the focus to the estimated best value. ... Slitviewer scripts assume the focus star is on the boresight. ... Focus scripts runs in three phases: . ... The script moves the boresight so the focus star is visible next to the slit, sets the focus to Center Focus, takes an exposure and tries to measure the star's FWHM. ...

... While stirring a morning cup of coffee and thinking cosmic thoughts many astronomers would glance at this Hubble Space Telescope image of spiral galaxy NGC 4622 and assume that the galaxy was rotating counterclockwise in the picture. ...
