Observing Facilities . ... Observing with ESO Telescopes . ... However, if you want to process science data from different nights together you should limit the available calibrations to those from one night as the pipeline assumes that the calibration data were taken without mask movement in between. ...

Next: Sky Subtraction Up: Construction of Flat Previous: Standard construction . For a number of projects where very deep integrations and accurate flat fields are required, and the targets are point sources or much smaller than the frame size, the sky background itself can be used to calculate the flat field. ... Use STATISTICS/IMAGE to calculate the image median, and COMPUTE/IMAGE to divide by this to get the normalised flat field. ...

... Thomson's multiple window method of spectral estimationthomson provides a very good estimate of the power spectrum by measuring the energy contained within a collection of rectangular shaped frequency intervals. ... Often, much of the fine structure of a spectral estimate is due to noise. It should be stressed that while other methods of spectral estimation (such as the Welchoppenheim method) exist, the Thomson method is particularly noteworthy for its precisely defined rectangular frequency bins. ...

... In order to disentangle the effects of different climate variables on tree-ring growth rates of different species, and to explore the possibility that more than one species could improve the accuracy of the reconstructions of climate using tree rings, a methodical study of trees in close proximity to the Armagh Observatory climate station was initiated together with Ana Maria Garc?a Su?rez, and continued as part of the latter's PhD thesis with John Butler and Professor Mike Baillie (QUB). ...

... We can investigate projection of this distribution onto the celestial sphere in two ways: in terms of lines of constant SN frequencies per one square degree for all galaxies from the sample (Figure 36 ), and in terms of constant GW amplitudes at a given SN frequency per square degree (Figure 44 ). ... Figure 45: The sky distribution of the total supernova frequency from nearby galaxies in terms of lines of equal frequencies per square degree. ...

... When I display the weight map generated for my final drizzled image (or any of the single drizzled images as well), there seem to be representations of the objects in my science image. ... Most likely you need to refine the parameters that are set during the driz_cr step which detects cosmic rays in each of your science frames. ... I've calculated refined offsets between my science images but when I supply MultiDrizzle with the delta shifts the final image is not aligned properly. ...

... specadd creates a multiple X-ray spectrum FITS file by stacking or putting together (``adding'') two single spectrum files. ... This type of spectral files is particularly useful when the user wants to simultaneously analyse different observations of the same object carried out with the same instrument or with different instruments. ... The Data extension for a multiple spectral dataset stores one single spectrum per row, instead of one channel per row as it is the case of single spectrum files. ...

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...

... We have made series of computer runs of the orbital evolution of asteroids for the 3/1 and 5/2 resonances with Jupiter using both the symplectic integrator RMVS3 [1] and the Bulirsh­Stoer method [2] (BULSTO). ... Besides the values of r hc presented in the Table at N = 144, for the 3/1 resonance at N = 24 we obtained r hc equal to 4.0, 1.7, 0.33, 0.4, and 0.7 at '' = 10 \Gamma8 , 10 \Gamma9 , d s = 3, 10, and 30 days, respectively. So in some cases a symplectic method can give large errors. ...
