... Radio emission at around 90 GHz from star-forming galaxies is expected to be strongly dominated by the free-free component due to ionising radiation from massive, short-lived, stars. We present high surface-brightness sensitivity observations at 90 GHz of the nearby star-forming galaxy Messier 66 with resolution of about 9 arcsec (corresponding to a physical scale of about 500 pc) and analyse these observations in combination with archival lower frequency radio and mid-infrared measurements. ...

... Dead time corrections are not considered explicitly in the current version of this task, as it is expected that the EXPOSURE attribute, written to the spectral file by evselect (see also Julian Osborne's proposal regarding exposure-type attributes available on the SOC web server), should take into account dead time effects. arfgen calls the task attcalc internally. ... Note that the intermediate event dataset also contains attributes used to initialise the CAL in the subsequent call by attcalc . ...

The pipeline by default interpolates across the bad columns in the REDL CCD when it creates the master bias, but does not so when it processes the science data. This inconsistency can create boxy emission-like features as seen in the figure below. ...

... HSP photometric accuracies are strongly dependent on the observational setup and observing conditions, such as spacecraft jitter.

The event Multi-Processing Module (MPM) is designed to allow more requests to be served simultaneously by passing off some processing work to supporting threads, freeing up the main threads to work on new requests. It is based on the worker MPM, which implements a hybrid multi-process multi-threaded server. ...

... AstroAsciiData is a Python module to handle ASCII tables. ... The idea to develop this Python module emerged from the fact that ASCII tables continue to be one of the most popular and widely used data exchange formats in astronomy and probably science in general. ... To load this ASCII table, go into Python, load the AstroAsciiData module and read in the table with: . ... demo = asciidata.open('webexa.txt') . ... Users who only want to work with ASCII tables neeed no further python modules. ...

... In addition to the standard 20, 13, 6 and 3-cm systems, we expect that all six antennas will be available for 12-mm observations. ... As in 2002, three antennas will be available with 3-mm systems for the winter of 2003, with the frequency range limited to two sub-bands of 84.9 - 87.3 GHz and 88.5 - 91.3 GHz. Proposals for 3-mm observing time must include an observer who has had previous experience with the ATCA 3-mm systems. ... Changes to the ATNF Time Assignment Committee . ...
