The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

... The absolute flux calibration of NICMOS will be calculated from observations of standard stars with known flux distributions F( ). ... In order to expand the set of IR standard stars in the appropriate flux range for NICMOS, M. Rieke, R. Thompson, and collaborators at the University of Arizona are making photometric observations of solar-analog stars, which will be used to normalize the solar spectrum to the observed IR magnitudes. ...

... There have been major changes throughout the system (PROS release 2.3) to accomodate the Rationalized Data Format (RDF). For ROSAT this has meant a change in the existing data file formats, and also a standardization between US, UK and MPE data-set formats; hence all Rev 2 ROSAT re-processed data will be in a common format, regardless of where it was processed. ... One of the additional features of the new RDF format for ROSAT data is the inclusion of the `rejected' events. ...

... Watchouts . ... The difference between the "standard matrices", available in the XMM-Newton calibration pages , and those generated via the SAS tasks arfgen and rmfgen is now virtually negligible, at least as long as one is concerned with spectral fitting of point-like, on-axis sources. ... If one has a spectrum with very good statistics in an emission line with centroid energy larger than 2.5 keV ( e.g. : the Iron K-alpha line), one should be careful about using the "standard" matrices. ...

Next: Reduction procedure Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Strategy . Standard stars can be included in the extinction solution, if one is careful. The problem is that there are usually appreciable ``conformity errors'' due to mismatch between the instrumental and the standard passbands [ 16 ]. ... Thus, it is wrong to assume that the transformation between the instrumental system and the standard system is exact, even if there were no measurement error in either system [ 1 ]. ...

... The pinhole simulation program is a computationally and memory intensive task. ... A parallel version was developed instead, to enable distributed processing on a cluster of workstations. The program makes use of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard for parallel processing, implemented as an API (Application Programming Interface) to the Local Area Multicomputer (LAM) programming environment developed at the Ohio Supercomputer Center. ...

. To redirect the standard output from a command use the > (greater than) symbol followed by the name of the output file. If the file that you redirect standard output to does not already exist it will be created. For example: grep Smith /etc/passwd > popular . This redirects the standard output from the grep command so that it goes to the file popular . This file will contain all occurrences of the string Smith that were found in the /etc/passwd file. **Caution** . Did You Know? .

OptInt PmWiki : Pm Wiki / Upgrading From Pm Wiki 1 . This page gives suggestions for upgrading an existing PmWiki 1.x installation to use PmWiki 2.0. In this page we assume that a site administrator already has a site running using PmWiki version 1.x or earlier in a somewhat standard configuration, and wants to upgrade to the 2.0 software. Important note: The normal PmWiki upgrade procedure (i.e., copy the new software over the existing one) won't work for moving from 1.x to 2.0. ...
