RTT150 . ... This search system is designed for generating the necessary information on series of pointings (observations of each source consist of sets of exposures with different filters and sometimes with different exposure times) for observed sources. Search results appear at the separate page as a table with the following data: . DATE - real (not evening!) observations date (in YYYY-MM-DD format); . ... Bin - minimal CCD binning mode (may vary during the observations); . ...

... We will consider the rms, (K), for observations with a receiver of system temperature, T , frequency resolution, per polarization, and total integration time per observing cycle, . ... For ``in-band'' frequency switching, the line under investigation is always in the observing band. ... Position Switching or ``Out-of-Band'' Frequency Switching: Here the line is only observed for one half of the time, with noise being present all of the time. ...

Instrument Science Report FGS 2005-01 The FGS Astrometry in the Feb 2005 On-orbit Two Gyro Mode Test E. Nelan August 17, 2005 A BSTRACT FGS1r Astrometry was tested under the Two-Gyro Mode (TGM) pointing control law during the February 2005 on-orbit test. ... In each of these orbits the visit contained a single (long) exposure that observed the visit's particular target star for the remainder of the visibility period. ... Visit 02: Visit 02 employed a bright (V=9.9) dominant guide star. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

Follow-up astrometry and recoveries are made with the ANU 40 inch (1.0-m) f/8 reflector at Siding Spring Observatory (IAU code 413). ... A routine follow-up of 2003 WY153 on 2003 Dec 15 became much more than routine when a faint object with unusual motion vector was found close to the target asteroid. ... During routine astrometry with the 1.0-m to improve the orbit of the Apollo asteroid 2004 CB, the asteroid was found on March 30 to have a short tail! ... Siding Spring Survey Main Page . ...

Next: The Individual Approach Up: The Joint Approach Previous: Self-Calibration . We briefly describe some other useful tools. ... Mosaic Point-Spread Function - MOSPSF: It is occasionally instructive to look at the point-spread function at a particular position in a mosaic experiment. ... Additionally, as mentioned above, invert does not attempt to completely correct for the primary beam attenuation where there is too little data (i.e. some primary beam attenuation is in the output image). ...
