... To be read in conjunction with Section 4.11 of the WFPC2 Instrument Handbook , -Version 4.0. ... 1 The second study found evidence that CTE loss for faint stars has increased with time (Whitmore, 1998). The primary observational consequence of CTE loss is that a point source at the top of the chip appears to be fainter than if observed at the bottom of the chip, due to the loss of electrons as the star is read out down the chip (see Figure 1 ). ...

... What a can of worms I opened up when I first showed this example of how to make a button using the Lighting Effects filter! There's two ways to do this, the easy way, (for Macintosh only), and the hard way. ... First, the easy way. ... It allows you to take a rectangular selection, and either darken or lighten it by a certain number of pixels, either as a gradient or as a solid bar. ... Make sure your foreground is white, and your background is black. ... Here's another use for the Gradient tool. ...

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. ...

Next: Conclusions Up: Selection Effects Previous: Inconsistent (or Inconsistently Applied) . Another possible bias, present in this as well as all other surveys which use spectral indices based upon nonsimultaneous data in their selection process, is due to variability. ... In order to minimize the effect of non-simultaneous radio survey data upon our samples, we decided to expand the common definition of flat-spectrum radio sources to extend to (instead of 0.5). ...

... The SAS task especget has been designed to allow extraction of source+background and background spectra, redistribution matrices, and effective area vectors from an EPIC event list with a single command. especget can be launched from the main xmmselect window, in which case an extraction region size optimization algorithm is also ran, which maximizes the signal-to-noise of the net source spectrum. ... When you are happy with your definition, click the button 1D region in the xmmselect window. ...

Astronomers?I?m not sure how they think but my impression so far is that a missing value in one attribute/variable from a object/observation/informant, all other attributes related to that object become useless because that object is not considered in scientific data analysis or model evaluation process. ... 2 Comments . ...

... Right: Corresponding scan tracks for the same date ( red ) and previous dates ( blue ), which cover about 2/3 of the map area (the field was completed on June 15). ... The I-GALFA survey area is divided into several fields with different declination ranges. ... By starting each subsequent night at a different position, we can cover the entire map area by ``weaving'' many such tracks together to build up a complete image of the sky brightness at all positions in the field. ...

... SQL | ... Tutorial: determine H0 using SQL queries to LEDA . ... We select in the database all galaxies with known velocity and magnitude and similar to a given template for which we know the distance, the magnitude and the radial velocity. ... We simply have to choose a property which does not depend on the distance, as for example the rotation velocity ( log(vrot) ) and select the galaxies having log(vrot) in a very narrow range around the value for the template galaxy. ... leda@univ-lyon1.fr ...

Next: The root filesystem Up: Overview of the Directory Previous: Overview of the Directory .

... To run the <LAYER> version of the example, select: flower.htm . ... However, if the page had several layers with absolute positions, and you wanted to place another layer in a relative position to one of the existing layers, you could use inline JavaScript to calculate the value for LEFT or TOP . ... In this example, there is really no need to use inline JavaScript to position the last flower layer, since you could just let the TOP value default to its natural value, as in the other flower layers. ...
