The response matrix file (OGIP-compliant format). ... If a spectrum file is not provided ( withspectrum =no) this parameter specifies the INDEX number of a source in the source description list (parameter srclist ), and thereby the incidence angle and selection regions for the response matrix. ...

... Columns can be re-named, added, or deleted; various operations can be performed on column contents, and the results stored in a new column; and so on. ... When you create a table from an ASCII file, the width of the table column is (by default) the width of the field in the original *.dat file. ... You can avoid this problem by specifying a width wider than the original ASCII field by using (say) C*32 instead of just C for the column in the format file, when you create the table. ...

... Consequently, it is inappropriate to expand and in ordinary spherical harmonics. The proper expansion expresses both and simultaneously in terms of a particular order of generalized spherical harmonics. ... Generalized spherical harmonics start at , and for each , . ... Generalized spherical harmonics obey a sum rule analogous to a familiar one for ordinary spherical harmonics, but it includes an explicit phase factor which depends on the orientation of the two lines of sight. ...

Although You can type in source coordinates as You go, it is usually much easier and safer to use a source catalog. ... Note that coordinate type, velocity, velocity frame and velocity type are required parameters for all sources in a catalog. If they are the same for all objects, You can set them up in the beginning of Your source catalog with a DEFAULT line ( only for CIMA version 2.3 or later ). ... You can add a ' # ' followed by an optional comment after the last parameter. ... velocity . ...

... Many Miriad tasks support on-the-fly selection and averaging of the channels to be processed. ... Channel-0' data (data formed by averaging all spectral channels together) are also treated as continuum data. ... For the spectral data, if the channel number does not correspond reasonably directly with velocity ( e.g. if Doppler tracking was not used), then it might be desirable to resample the spectral data at equal increments in velocity. ... channel . This gives raw or averaged spectral channels. ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

... Will there be interactive user accounts (telnet/SSH)? Will users be using it as a workstation or is it a server? ... The main difference in today's world between computers is usually not the hardware, or even the OS (Linux is Linux, NT Server and NT Workstation are close family, etc.), it is in what software packages are loaded (Apache, X, etc) and how users access the machine (interactively, at the console, and so forth). ... Keep users off of the servers. ... Restrict physical access to servers. ...

... The general scientific activity of the stuff is not a static phenomena, but mainly it lies in the direction, reflected in the famouse book by Ya.B.Zeldovich and I.D.Novikov "Relativistic Astrophysics". ... They can be separated into three main branches: "discology" (prof. N.I.Shakura, N. Ketsaris and grad.student G.V. Lipunova); astrophysics of neutron stars, evolution of close binaries and related problems (prof. V.M.Lipunov , prof. K.A.Postnov , drs. ...

... 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. ...

. Jack Stands and Tiedowns: June 19, 2002 . Wanted to provide general views of support jacks and tiedowns for the observer's trailer. Note: Scotsman will check the stands prior to skirting . Photo below: the trailer is 5' high from door threshold to ground on the east side. The entry door is on the west side. Photos start at the rear end of the trailer (nearest the old dorm) and go kinda clockwise providing multiple views of the same jack stands.
