The WFPC2 UBVRI system is fairly close as regards effective wavelengths to the Johnson UBVRI system, but cross-calibration is necessary to convert to Johnson magnitudes. ... For hotter stars, the transformation is quite linear.  Figure 8.2: F439W-F555W against Johnson B-V. The residuals from the best linear fit are quite similar to those that apply if F569W (instead of the preferred F555W) is chosen for a WFPC2 passband. ... This particular color combination is widely used.  ...

... New IRAF tools for the photometric calibration of optical/IR images are presented. The new tools are standard star catalog and world coordinate driven, requiring both accurate standard star catalog coordinate and accurate image coordinate data. Network access to standard star catalog servers is supported. ... The photometric calibration software will automatically convert the standard star coordinates from the standard star coordinate system to the image coordinate system. ...

... For example, as pointed out by Perlman et al. (1996b), the lack of a Ca II H & K break strength criterion in the 1 Jy, S4 and S5 samples of BL Lacs, has caused numerous objects to be misclassified as radio galaxies instead of BL Lacs (see also March? Browne 1995, 1996). ... While one may argue that some of these objects fall in the expanded region of the (H & K break strength, equivalent width) diagram that March? et al. (1996) allot to the BL Lacs, several, for example 1 Jy 1308+326, do not. ...

Chapter 11. Specifying OpenGL Environment Variable Settings . ... Several antialiasing methods are available and you can select between them by setting the __GL_FSAA_MODE environment variable appropriately. ... To see the available values for __GL_FSAA_MODE along with their descriptions, run: nvidia-settings --query=fsaa --verbose . The __GL_FSAA_MODE environment variable uses the same integer values that are used to configure FSAA through nvidia-settings and the NV-CONTROL X extension. ...

... There are a number of "fixes" that are important for short wavelength ATCA data, especially at the 3mm band. ... By default atfix applies the ``standard'' gain/elevation model for the antennas. ... As mentioned in Section 11.1.2 , the ATCA uses a paddle to measure an above atmosphere system temperature. ... On the night of an ATCA reconfiguration, a solution for the antenna positions is derived. ... Task atfix corrects the data for an improved antenna location solution via the dantpos parameter. ...
