The positions of the designated point sources ( ) must be given as well as initial amplitudes for and . ... The integrated flux of the point sources ( ) plus that of the distributed emission ( ) is constrained to equal that of the observed image ( ). ... This is investigated in Fig. 1 where all emission derives from point sources but only one - the brightest - is designated as such. ...

... Do not warn when variables are not explicitly declared. ... Do not check if a variable has been initialized before being used. If a variable is not in a DATA, COMMON, PARAMETER or SAVE statement, and if it is not a dummy subroutine argument, then Flint normally attempts to check that the variable is initialized before it is used. ... By default Flint warns if subroutine or variable names are longer than 8 characters, or if they contain underline or dollar characters. ...

... We have assumed a constant in time star formation rate and the total number of stars in the Galaxy, , to be such that the total mass of the galaxy is ; assuming the Salpeter mass function   , we get . ... This number agrees with a standard estimation of the galactic star formation rate of order of per year. In each run of calculations, we trace the evolution of binaries with initial parameters randomly distributed according to the chosen initial laws. ...

... All events are assumed to occur in the centre of their pixel. ... Each event is tagged with a time stamp (FTCOARSE+FTFINE) corresponding to the specific FMTS integration within each tracking frame integration, in which each event occurred. ... The drift-corrected OM FAST mode event list contains 4 additional columns: the corrected X and Y pixel coordinates and OBT time for each event and a flag denoting whether the shift-corrected event falls within the defined science window. ...

... Apache HTTP Server Version 2.2 . ... How Apache Starts . ... If the Listen specified in the configuration file is default of 80 (or any other port below 1024), then it is necessary to have root privileges in order to start apache, so that it can bind to this privileged port. ... The recommended method of invoking the httpd executable is to use the apachectl control script. ...

... An OBJECT column gives the name of the object observed (usually a star name). ... In critical cases, it is common practice to measure sky on two or more positions around a target object, and these positions must be identified. ... A general treatment of this problem requires a column called OBJECT, bearing the usual name of the object (as in the star tables); a column labelled STARSKY, to distinguish between star+sky, star alone, or sky alone; and additional columns to identify the sky position. ...
