... Meta Index / Home Page / Description / Specifying source region shapes . When radiusstyle =`contour', the task calculates the source region shape as an elliptical locus which approximates the contour of the PSF at a given flux value. ... Clearly, in order to calculate the shape of such a flux contour, it is necessary firstly to normalize the PSF to the source brightness and secondly to determine the flux level (in `brightness' units per pixel) at which to find the contour. ...

... The first column gives the star identification number, followed by X, Y positions in mm. The zero point of these offsets is star number 1 which lies at 21:24:20.52 +36:30:25.6 (equator and equinox 2000). Next are relative proper motions (muX and muY) and their errors (ex and ey) in 10**4 arcsec/yr, followed by calculated V magnitudes. The final column gives the calculated membership probabilities in percent. ...

TUI supports the following offsets: . Object Arc offset by a given amount on the sky (i.e. along the arc of a great circle). ... Arc offsets are useful for moving a different portion of your object or a different nearby object onto the boresight . ... Object Arc XY this is identical to an Object offset except that it has been rotated to align along the instrument x-y axes. ... This is just like the Calibration XY offset, except that it is typically cleared when you slew to a new object. ...

This diagram illustrates the effects of absolutely positioning a box with respect to the initial containing block. ... Most of the "inner" box contents are therefore rendered outside the document window. ... The text that is to the left of the line numbers lies outside the initial containing block. The lines, as they appear in the image, contain approximately: 1 Beginning of body contents. Start 2 of outer contents. End of outer 3 contents. End of body contents. ...

... This program was created for correlating chosen regions in the series of fts images. ... Chosen regions' . ... In this section the program counts the integral for each region of the grid for each image. ... As a matter of fact, the integral is total brightness of the region and it is counted by 'int_tabulated' IDL function. ... In addition, the program will show the count of the regions which correlate with the corresponding region (the brighter region means the bigger count) and its contour. ...

... The European HST Archive has been moved to ESA's European Space Astronomy Centre ( ESAC ), Spain, where most of ESA's Space Science Archives are located and operated from. ... The Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility (ST-ECF), jointly operated by ESA and the European Southern Observatory ( ESO ) was, until the end of 2010, the European HST science facility, supporting the European astronomy community in exploiting the research opportunities provided by the Hubble Space Telescope. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...
