The first of the equations defines the position of the spectral orders, m , in the raw image, while the second equation gives, for each order, the dispersion relation in one dimension. ... where the coefficients are computed using least squares techniques on a grid , i.e. sample number and line number of points located within the spectral orders of the image. These points in the grid are found automatically by an order--following algorithm, normally using the FLAT or STD image. ...

The aim of this section of the course is to enable you to use simple computer programs to solve a variety of common astronomical tasks. ... I have (somewhat arbitrarily) decided to use Python for this course, because it seems to be gaining popularity fast for astronomical data handling, and because some of you will have encountered it at the ATNF course. ...

Under Util|Orbit, there is a Thiele-Innes procedure to estimate the orbital elements using your apparent ellipse and Kepler's laws! ... Back to tour page . ...

... Abstract Compute the geometric position of a target body relative to an observing body. ... Detailed_Output pos contains the position of the target body, relative to the observing body. ... Particulars spkgps_c computes the geometric position, T(t), of the target body and the geometric position, O(t), of the observing body relative to the first common center of motion. Subtracting O(t) from T(t) gives the geometric position of the target body relative to the observer. ... Link to routine source . ...

... The dome was at 19.6 degrees za. an azimuth swing from an azimuth of 602.87 to 242.87 degrees in 60 degree steps with the dome at 10 degrees za. platform offset from AO9. The pitch, roll, and focus errors versus az and za. ... offset error ampltidue,phase . ... The plots show the pitch, roll, focus errors: . ... The vertical access is degrees for pitch and roll, and inches/10 for focus (.1 == 1 inch). ... The rms for the pitch fits are: pitch .013 degrees, roll .0085 degrees, and focus .1 inches. ...

A typical radio dataset might be a 3-dimensional "cube" named AURORA, with axes RA, DEC and FREQ. ... These can be specified by giving the axis name(s) and grids for each subset. For instance, AURORA specifies the whole 3-dimensional ``cube''; AURORA FREQ 3 specifies the subset FREQ=3 (i.e. the RA-DEC plane at FREQ grid 3) of the set AURORA. ... Specifying only the axis name, and no grids, selects all subsets along that axis: AURORA FREQ selects all RA-DEC planes in AURORA. ... axis centre. ...

... A document window is shown, with 8 lines (numbered 1 to 8), each 24px high. The text of the "outer" box (at the end of line 1, halfway into line 2, and halfway into line 3) is shifted upward 12px. The text of the "inner" box, thought shifted upward as well, has been relatively positioned so that it lies in its normal flow position at the end of line 2. ... The lines, as they appear in the image, contain: Start 1 Beginning of body contents. 2 of outer contents. Inner contents. ...

... The experience of determination of the link between radio sources and dynamical reference frames is presented. To obtain this connection we used a series of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the spacecraft Phobos-2 and angularly nearby quasars. ... The dynamical reference frame is determined by equator and equinox of these ephemerides. ... References . ... The relative orientation of the radio and dynamical reference frames can be described by a sequence of three rotations . ...

... The main purpose of this task is the correction for attitude drifts using the dispersion coordinate system. The dispersion coordinates are defined based on the position and on the orientation of the RGA, and have two components: the dispersion angle BETA and the cross dispersion angle XDSP . ... This is called reference attitude and basically means that this is the on-axis sky position to which the telescope points after the attitude drift correction was performed. ...

... Archives . ... If you do not mind the time predictor, it is hard to believe that this is a light curve, time dependent data. ... It?s hard to say this data set is designed for time series analysis apart from the complication in statistical inference due to measurement errors. How to design the statistical study with measurement errors, huge gaps in time, and unequal time intervals is complex and unexplored. ... The following is R output without measurement errors. ... Chandra Blog . ...

... The orbits as follows are considered: INTERBALL Tail Probe (IB_TAIL) & Auroral Probe (IB_AUR), GEOTAIL (NASA/ISAS), and POLAR (NASA). ...
