... This task takes an event list and makes an image in which the value in each pixel is proportional to the variability with respect to time of the flux of events which fall within that pixel. The task cycles through all the events in the list which fall within the spatial extent of the image; for each of these events, a value of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic is calculated. ... Note the implication that pixels having zero variability are not zero-valued in the output image. ...

... BOX= Area which needs to be flat fielded [whole map] OUTSET= Output Set/Subset(s) ORDER= Order of polynomial to be fitted to the map [1] highest allowed order is 21 ** RANGE= Give range of levels to include in fit: [all levels] Input consists of two values. ... Examples for the use of the RANGE= keyword: RANGE=2, 5 (IF 2<value<5 THEN include in fit ELSE value==>blank) RANGE=5, 2 (IF 2<value<5 THEN value==>blank ELSE include in fit) At the RANGE= keyword, the values -INF and INF can be input also. ...

Modern AstroStatistics has emerged as a new field in recent times, informed by a Bayesian foundation, utilizing powerful computational tools like MCMC, and applied to diverse analysis and inference problems in Astronomy. ... The goal of our Special Session is to review current practices, highlight modern techniques, and explore how the transition into the realm of Big Data Astronomy can be facilitated. ...

... I am an astronomer at the Australian National Universities' Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics. We are located at Mount Stromlo Observatory, just outside of the Australian National Capitol, Canberra. The observatory has telescopes at two sites, one at Mount Stromlo, and the other near Coonabarabran. ... The work described here is not just my work, but the collective effort of more than 20 people from around the globe with whom I work on the High-Z SN search. ...

... This precise description is called the standard model of electroweak physics. ... What brings about this important difference in the mass of these "field" particles? ... The Oregon group participates in the ATLAS experiment to investigate this question. ... Since Oregon joined ATLAS early in 2006, the group has devoted its effort to the process of selection of interesting events generated by the collisions of high energy particles within the ATLAS detector. ...

Orbit . ... The orbit of the RadioAstron provides four types of study: . rough images of radio sources with ultra-high angular resolution, using all baselines up to the radius of the apogee, that is much larger than Earth diameter; . ... high quality imaging of radio sources, with moderate resolution, by observing either with small projected base lines Earth-spacecraft, i.e. close to the orbital plane, or near the perigee. ... high accuracy orbit determination. ...
