... High-resolution Measurements of Naturally Occurring HF Waves in the Auroral Region . By deploying a small broadband antenna and spectrum analyzer in the auroral zone, one can easily detect at least three different kinds of naturally occuring radio signals emitted by Earth's aurora: A broadband emission below 1 MHz, called auroral hiss; a broadband emission at 1.5-4.5 MHz, called MF-burst; and narrowband emissions near 2.8 and 4.2 MHz, called auroral roar. ...

ALMA | ... In this section, we explain why we need to correct phase fluctuations and ALMA's strategy to do this. Rapid fluctuations will be corrected with water vapour radiometers (WVRs). The Cavendish Astrophysics Group was also a leading contributor to the ALMA prototype WVRs, which were put through their paces in tests at the Submillimeter Array (SMA). ... The Cavendish Astrophysics Group in partnership with the Onsala Space Observatory built two prototype WVRs for the ALMA project. ...

... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ...

Thus if the spectral resolution is managed to be increased (i.e. to decrease )without loss in the number of counts falling at 1 ?, the equivalent width measurement error is then proportional to . ...

... All the images except two are in the Si-5 filter, which has a central wavelength of 11.68 microns and a width of 1.01 microns. This filter shows only dust emission, and excludes the emission lines that PNs have in the 10 micron region of the spectrum. ... The emission from NGC 6210 in the 11.7 micron filter is even fainter than that for PN G058.3-10.9, barely within the sensitivity limit of the Gemini telescope. ... The Si-5 filter image looks completely different than the N-band image. ...

Next: PSF1DRB Up: PIXTOPIXSENS Previous: Generation from Ground Calibration Contents . Ideally the in-orbit PixToPixSens file will be generated from internal calibration measurements using the fullframe high resolution engineering mode. However due to their large data volume the fullframe high resolution data won't be available frequently enough to base the in-flight generation of the PixToPixSens file on the high resolution data. ... i.e. the average counts per pixel per CCD-frame . ...

Radio Interferometry Principles . Radio Interferometry Signal Processing . ... A radio interferometer consists of a pair of directional antennas that are tuned to receive radio emissions from a source in a desired RF band. ... The antennas are pointed at the radio source of interest and are set up to receive the signal and process it into a form suitable for transmission to the correlator. ... In connected element interferometry, the digital signal goes directly to the correlator. ...

... Judged by their instrumental profiles, spectrometers fall into two basic classes---Lorentzian and Gaussian---with many other line profile functions (sinc functions, Voigt functions, Airy functions, etc.) falling into one of these two categories in some limit. We demonstrate that the Rayleigh, Sparrow, and Houston resolution criteria are of limited use compared to the ``equivalent width'' of the line profile. ... Rayleigh criterion. ...
