... Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer Instrument Handbook for Cycle 17 > Chapter 4: Imaging > 4.6 Photon and Cosmic Ray Persistence . ... HgCdTe detector arrays like those in NICMOS are subject to image persistence. ... Experiments using Cycle 7 NICMOS data have shown that it is possible to scale and subtract such ?post-SAA darks? from subsequent science exposures taken later in the same orbit, and thus to remove a significant fraction of the CR persistence signal. ...

Furthermore, information that should be the same for every filter, such as detector information for a single-channel instrument, could become inconsistent if presumably duplicate entries were stored in table format. ... A possible solution would be to use a table file with one row per filter, and to store information that remains the same for all filters in descriptors. ...

... The SF does not contain all the information required to process the ODF with the SAS. odfingest extends the SF with data extracted from the instrument housekeeping data files and the calibration database. It creates a new summary file: the SAS ODF Summary File (SOSF). ... The user need not have write access to the ODF directory. odfingest uses the parameter outdir to learn where to write the SOSF. ... Alternatively, the name of the SOSF can be passed to odfingest with the parameter summaryfile . ...

The instrument has been designed to be used with two or three beams, thus enabling also the use of closure phase techniques. ... AMBER VLTI focal instrument home page . ... Simone Busoni . ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

... Several of the tasks in the spectral package share a common set of parameters. ... Each task in the spectral package has a hidden parameter which points to the pkgpars parameter file. The parameters stored here include the observed data sets and the model descriptor, and instrument-specific parameters. ... The observed counts and error data set contained in the table file ( *_obs.tab ) produced by qpspec will be the input data for subsequent spectral tasks. ...

. The UNIX file system is organised as a hierarchy of directories starting from a single directory called root which is represented by a / (slash). Imagine it as being similar to the root system of a plant or as an inverted tree structure. Immediately below the root directory are several system directories that contain information required by the operating system. The file holding the UNIX kernel is also here. UNIX system directories .
