Tasks in GIPSY are the application programs which do useful work for the user. ...

The user can set a parameter in the task context to change requests for hidden keywords into requests for defaulted keywords. ... Tasks all run in a context . ...

... We describe a simple method to annotate shell scripts and have a preprocessor extract a set of variables, present them to the user in a GUI (using Tcl/Tk) with context sensitive help, and run the script. ... When individual applications are (tightly) integrated into the scripting language, this offers very powerful scripts, fully graphical user interfaces and a result sometimes indistinguishable from applications. ...

Next: CCD Scientific Performance Up: CCD Operation Previous: CCD Operation . A visible light photon releases only one electron-hole pair, and consequently many photons must be collected in each pixel for a measurable signal to be produced. ... This use as an imaging X-ray spectrometer requires that no more than one photon is incident on each pixel in any image frame, which imposes a requirement that image collection times be limited to ~seconds for typical astronomical applications. ...

According to the # 7.1. of the Acting Statutes/Regulations on the International Astronomy Olympiad there should be an Authorized National Representative (Astronomical) Organization (ANRAO) in every participating state: A national astronomical society, a department (section) of the EAAS or IAU in the state, a leading observatory, an astronomical department of a leading university, a ministry of education or another appropriate competent institution. ...

Region markers can be moved, resized, rotated, zoomed, deleted, and can change geometric type. ... For example, markers placed on astronomical catalog positions should be fixed so that one cannot accidentally move them off the specified position. ... Parameters can be fixed using the fix option of the regions public access point (for fixing classes of markers) or by means of a fix keyword in the definition of an externally loaded marker. ... In the command: echo "regions fix all -position -size" | ...

... The general­purpose data reduction package FIGARO is now available to be run from the IRAF CL, and more Starlink applications will follow in due course. ... A system has been developed to enable packages written for the Starlink Software Environment to be run from the IRAF CL so that an IRAF user can mix and match application tasks from the two environments as required to process data, all under the control of the IRAF CL. ... Mixing IRAF and Starlink Applications -- FIGARO under IRAF 179 3. ...
