... The keywords EXPRTIME and ZEROMAGN set the zero point for magnitudes. ... The program automatically determines a Point Spread Function when it gets proper initial values from the keywords SPROFIL. Initial values may be wrong by 0.1 each, and the program still can converge to the right Point Spread Function. ... The program looks for an initial point spread function into that descriptor at first and it uses data from the keywords SPROFILx when the descriptor DPROFILE is absent. ...

... When Snapshot visits are ready to be placed on a flight calendar, they are added to the snapshot Pool automatically. The method for selecting a visit in the Pool is an "ordered" random sample of candidates within six categories ordered by Cycle number (higher to lower) and percentage of visits that have been scheduled or completed. A proposal that has less than 50% of its visits scheduled or completed is given preference within a cycle. ... Cycle N proposals with a completion percentage <50%. ...

... Before you calibrate, you must prepare your data. This consists of loading, flagging, perhaps converting to ``channel-0'' datasets, and then splitting. ... Tracking accuracy: the tracking accuracy of the ATCA antenna is usually adequate at low frequencies, but at higher frequencies (where the primary beam is smaller), tracking errors become more deleterious. ... In addition, poor tuning of the antenna drive systems can sometimes cause poor tracking, particularly after a source change. ...

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. ...
