1. Analysis of very bright sources
XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... A different approach is done via the setting withctisrcpos =Y: all event energy corrections do not use the actual RAWY coordinate but the corresponding RAWY location of the source ( SRCPOS ) as determined by the task epframes (either automatically or via setting withsrccoords =Y). ... The task epchain may be used with the setting ccds =4 withctisrcpos =Y to process only the CCD 4 where usually the bright source is located that causes the Out-of-Time events. ...
2. Source Positions
Next: Catalog Construction Up: Observations and Analysis Previous: Source Detections . ... It was assumed that the highest signal gives the most likely position of the source. ... Comparing the summed map with the maps from the individual energy ranges, the one which produced the smallest error box was chosen to represent the source position, as long as was greater than 4, a level chosen to reflect a reasonable degree of confidence in the detection. ...
3. Photometric Analysis
... A photometric analysis was made of the simulated images using two of the widely available reduction programs, ROMAFOT (Buonanno et al. 1983) and DAOPHOT (Stetson 1987). ... The rebinned and expanded image gave better results (Fig. 7b), with the smallest errors in the order of = 0.04. ... Similarly to ROMAFOT, the image with the Moffat PSF gave significantly better results than the image generated with the Tiny Tim PSF; the errors in the magnitudes of the brighter stars were around = 0.02. ...
4. Source Fitting and Positions
... Miriad has a couple of tasks available for finding positions of sources (see also cgcurs in Chapter 17 ). ... It fits a 2-D parabola to the image intensities in a 3 by 3 pixel box centred on the brightest pixel in a specified region and reports the fitted location and intensity. ... Input image . ... The quality of your fit can improve significantly by selecting a snug region, and/or using the clip keyword to keep pixel values with little signal (e.g. sidelobes and noise) out of the fitting process....
5. ADASS 2002 Conference Proceedings
... Using a simple 2-D Gaussian Point Spread Function (PSF) on a constant (flat) sky background, I derive a theoretical photometric and astrometric performance model for analytical and digital PSF-fitting stellar photometry. ... The photometric performance is maximized when either the effective background area or the effective-background-level measurement error is minimized. ... An important, but frequently ignored, noise source is the uncertainty of the measurement of the effective background level ( )...

7. Low Surface Brightness Galaxy Gallery
In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

9. TUI:Tidbits:Entering Sexagesimal Positions
Many entry fields permit sexagesimal entry (h:m:s.s or :':"). ... Sexagesimal entry is flexible in that you can specify one to three fields, as you desire. ... Position entry widgets assume that a single field is decimal hours or degrees (h.h or . ... You may specify one to three fields: . ... Note: sexagesimal offsets and durations are entered in the same fashion, but a single field is decimal arc-seconds or seconds ('.' or s.s) and two fields are (arc) minutes and seconds (':"." or m:s.s). ...

... From the peculiar shape of the light curve in the visible spectral region (a long phase interval of light constancy was observed by Hensberge et al. in 1981 ), HD 56022 had been expected to show unambiguously the nonequatorial symmetry of its surface brightness distribution. However, analysis of the light curve has yielded a possible equatorial position of a spot. ... A solution seems only possible, if the light constancy over the long phase interval in the visible is no
