... This task operates on event data in an event list. ... In the first two cases, the celestial coordinates of the reference point are taken respectively as the values of the RA_NOM , DEC_NOM or RA_OBJ , DEC_OBJ values in the input event file header. ... Although the OM attitude information may be more accurate, it will not be present throughout part of the observation, and as such, the default source for the attitude data should be "ahf". ...

Next: Program use Up: Description of program searchdup Previous: Description of program searchdup . Parameter input is done with a graphic user interface. ... Input file: Name of the input catalog file. It has to be formatted, one record per source/observation, according to the format used in the Arcetri observations and source archives. ... Minimum number of observations per source Source with less than this number of independent observations are not included in the output file . ...

... Basic Observables: Zero-differenced phase and code ionosphere-free combinations of global GNSS network stations, corrected by P1-C1 satellite code biases (cc2noncc), daily observations with 30 seconds sampling rate Sites coordinates : IGb08 reference frame coordinates and velocities Displacements: solid tides, ocean loading, pole tide loading (IERS 2010) Geometric model : Receivers antennas eccentricities, absolute receiver and ...

... The Miriad task uvgen can be used to simulate a variety of observing modes. ... Simulating a telescope approximately, let alone in some detail, requires a good many parameters. uvgen takes an appreciable number of parameters and input files to describe the telescope, correlator and source. Fortunately keyword and set-up files for some common situations exist ( e.g. simulating the ATCA and VLA). ... For example, to load typical parameters for the ATCA, use miriad% source $MIRCAT/uvgen.def.atca . ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

... The file names' construction . The flight (m) stage's file set . ... the orbital data used for the flight operation monthly (m) long-term planning, . ... The orbital calculations are based on the initial orbital data determined by KIAM RAN using the orbital radio measurements treatment.The determined initial orbital data are presented as a state vector (satellite position and velocity) in the J2000 reference. ... Accept the file with extension '.bgr', where the Moscow time (MT=UT+3h) is used. ...

The Wideband Arecibo Pulsar Processor - File Format Page . WAPP files have three sections that appear sequentially in this order: an ASCII header description, the binary header, and finally the actual binary data. ... The WAPP realtime observation engine does not produce files larger that 2 Gbytes. At one time this represented a fundamental limit to Linux files. ... Each file will have it's own header, even when the files are simply continuations of a single observation. ... long int . ...

... Figure: Massive binary evolutionary track. ... A short glance to this track is sufficient to understand that there are a lot of evolutionary scenario parameters, which affect different stages of the binary evolution. Fortunately, a very limited number of parameters has effect on the compact binary merging rate. ... The most important (and practically unique) parameter changing the galactic binary NS merging rate is the distribution of an additional (kick) velocity imparted to NS at birth. ...

... Up: Data Analysis and Processing Techniques . ... Also, a method for quality control of CCD observations is suggested. ... Everyone who observes a celestial object using a CCD detects moving celestial objects as a ``by product''. ... We hope that our investigations may be useful for near-Earth space control and also for searches of the moving celestial objects through analysis of old and new CCD frames obtained at any amateur or professional astronomical observatory. ...

... Description . ... The SCORPIO-2 project: . ... The multi-mode spectrograph SCORPIO-2 was developed using the experience of observations at the 6-m telescope BTA with the SCORPIO focal reducer . ... The focal reducer consists of several units ('floors') mounted in the common case in the following order (from the telescope focal plane): . ... The focal reducer is connected with the platform-adapter which used for guiding by offset stars and for illumination the spectrograph by calibration lamps. ...
