The process of determining the number and characteristics of sources in astronomical images is so fundamental to a large range of astronomical problems that it is perhaps surprising that no standard procedure has ever been defined that has well understood properties with a high degree of statistical rigour on completeness and reliability. ... In this analysis we present results from testing such algorithms as implemented in the SExtractor, Selavy (Duchamp), and sfind tools on simulated data. ...

... A total of 269 sources above this flux density were found in an area of 1.71 sr between declinations of 35^o and 70^o. Accurate flux densities at 2.7, 5.0, and 10.7 GHz are given, together with source coordinates accurate to between 1 and 5 arcsec, and proposed optical identifications. ... Once the spectral indices of the sources in the survey list had been determined, they were used to correct the measured 4.9-GHz flux densities to 5.0 GHz, for consistency with the previous S surveys. ...

The Ryle Telescope was used for some years for monitoring variable sources (in addition to its role in source-surveys related to the Sunyaev-Zeldovitch studies). The instrument is now transformed into the "AMI large array": see the AMI pages for details. ... The rebuild took place between 2006 June and mid-2008; between these dates there is no useful data available. ... For some sources there are many plots, organised by date: . ...

... There is no question about the source of ionospheric plasma , since it is created from the ambient neutral atmosphere by ionization. However, the source of magnetospheric plasma is a much more complicated question: although it seems obvious that both solar wind and ionosphere feed it, the relative importance of these two sources is unclear. ... Protons (H + ) are the primary ions in solar wind and one of the major components in ionospheric outflows, and thus not good indicators of their source. ...

NStars 1: photometric surveyse --- | ... There are a number of 2MASS sources which have (faint) counterparts on POSS II F (R) or N (I), but don't have an entry in the GSC 2.2. ... It is possible that some images might have no GSC counterpart due to proper motion taking the source outside the 6 arcsecond search radius between the palte-taking and the 2MASS observation. ...

... Since the fast mode window is necessarily small, the source PSF fills much of the window (clearly evident for bright sources). ... As such, the source and background extraction apertures may be truncated by the window. ... While often there will be only one object in the image, one should check for spurious detections which could affect the analysis of the target source and also for missed sources or prominent objects in the window, which may contaminate the target. ...

... The actual cross-correlations were done as follows: north of WGACAT was correlated with the GB6 catalog with a correlation radius of one arc minute. ... We therefore cross-correlated WGACAT with the GB6 and PMN radio catalogs with a 1.5 arcmin radius. ... As a result of this experiment, we then added to the WGACAT/PMN candidate list the 29 unclassified sources obtained from the 1.5 arcmin correlation and having PSPC offsets arcmin, ratio between X-ray/radio offset and positional error , and . ...
