The Common Output Area (COA) on the terminal screen is the remaining top area of the terminal screen not used for the User Command Area or Task Status Area. It is a viewport on the log file. Hermes treats the log file as a ``book'' with numbered pages. ... The COA has two modes of operation: page mode and non-page mode. ... The current page number is displayed at the extreme right of the Task Status Area. ... When in non-page mode, Hermes can also scroll the COA instead of flipping pages. ...

Next: Inspection of results Up: *fit* - Fit Data Previous: Verbose Mode . If the number of net counts for a source is less than it is impractical to fit the data in all 34 energy bits. However, if the flux is required, then a fit must be performed first. ... Fit will then calculate the normalization of the model and xflux can be used to determine the flux and luminosity of the source from the best fit model. xs> fit rebin=yes . ...

General Forum Message . Forums: . ... The Telescope's F/number . ... The f/number (focal ratio) of any telescope tells two things about the telescope and that is it's intended purpose and it's photographic performance. The brightness of a star depends on the telescope's aperture not the telescope's f/number. ... The f/number of any objective lens or a mirror of a telescope has nothing to do with the visual brightness of an image, the bigger the aperture the better. ... www.astronomy.net . ...

The Infrared Supernova Rate . To derive the number of SNe expected in our ground-based data and calculate the IR supernova rate , we have to derive a relation between the luminosity of the galaxies and their Star Formation Rate (SFR) and the shape of the "mean" K-band light curve for a core-collapse SN. ... Rates are generally normalized to the luminosity of the parent galaxy, either the B luminosity of L(FIR). ... For comments please contact: gcresci@arcetri.astro.it . ...
