GRANAT is the Russian x-ray sattelite launched to the high apogee orbit (200,000 km) and operated almost for 10 years (1989 -1999) , carrying out four major instruments: French SIGMA coded-mask hard x-ray telescope (30-1000 keV), Soviet ART-P coded-mask telescope (2??-60?? keV), all-sky monitor WATCH (6-150 keV), and a gamma-burst detector PHEBUS . ... Since September 1994, GRANAT is in the survey mode. ... Explore pages devoted to individual GRANAT instruments (including main scientific results): . ...

... A further spin off of this project is that more reliable pointing information for all exposures is provided. In 1995 the ST-ECF introduced, along with the CADC, the re-calibration on-the-fly (OTF) of archived HST exposures. ... By correlating the HST Mission Schedule and the time-tagged engineering telemetry data stream downloaded from HST it is possible to reconstruct with great accuracy the pointing sequence of any given scientific observation. ... taken within the same HST visit . ...

... In order to realize the optimal scientific return from the VLT, ESO has undertaken to develop an end-to-end data flow system from proposal entry to science archive.

In particular, a systematic and long-term survey of the atmosphere was missing, and most aspects of atmospheric behaviour remained puzzling.

... However, because ALFA was built to enable very large-scale sky surveys, NAIC seeks to encourage the formation of research teams, consortia, to take on the task of conducting ambitious sky surveys with the primary goal of creating legacy archival databases for public use. The legacy sky surveys are done as a partnership between NAIC and the research consortia, the policies and guidelines for which are summarized here. ... NAIC will archive the raw data at the Arecibo Observatory. ...

... This step is done mostly interactively and uses some basic ad-hoc IDL procedures, mainly for testing and checking of the consistency of the results.Once the observations have been selected and the count spectra extracted, the available spectra of each background level are accumulated. ... Average QUALITY such that QUALITY =0|1 Exposure times are added and the total is written in the EXPOSURE keyword of the header of the output FITS file. Finally, the CCFs are built from these templates. ...

My main field of interest is modelling dust extinction and emission in the disk of spiral galaxies. Radiative transfer simulations are compared to optical, FIR and sub-mm observations to assess the dust mass, distribution relative to star and optical/emission properties. ... I'm also interested in the formation, evolution and survival of dust grains in high-redshift objects, and in comparing the extinction / emission properties of dust with observations of distant sources. ...
