... Dead time corrections are not considered explicitly in the current version of this task, as it is expected that the EXPOSURE attribute, written to the spectral file by evselect (see also Julian Osborne's proposal regarding exposure-type attributes available on the SOC web server), should take into account dead time effects. arfgen calls the task attcalc internally. ... Note that the intermediate event dataset also contains attributes used to initialise the CAL in the subsequent call by attcalc . ...

The pipeline by default interpolates across the bad columns in the REDL CCD when it creates the master bias, but does not so when it processes the science data. This inconsistency can create boxy emission-like features as seen in the figure below. ...

... Radio emission at around 90 GHz from star-forming galaxies is expected to be strongly dominated by the free-free component due to ionising radiation from massive, short-lived, stars. We present high surface-brightness sensitivity observations at 90 GHz of the nearby star-forming galaxy Messier 66 with resolution of about 9 arcsec (corresponding to a physical scale of about 500 pc) and analyse these observations in combination with archival lower frequency radio and mid-infrared measurements. ...

... As input, OFFAXIS takes a visibility dataset and a model of the source total intensity (Stokes I). Given this, it computes the expected off-axis effects (given its internal models of the effects), subtracts this from the data, and produces an output (nominally) corrected dataset. Key: vis Input visibility dataset. ... Key: out The name of the output, corrected, visibility dataset. ... The default is to apply these if they are available. nopol Do not apply any polarization leakage correction. ...

The broad-band photometry is used for observing the faint structures, but it does not allow to break the age-metallicity degeneracy efficiently. ...

Observations made using the HARPS spectrograph at the European Southern Observatory s (ESO) La Silla Observatory in Chile have revealed unexpected changes in the bright spots on the dwarf planet Ceres. Although Ceres appears as little more than a point of light from Earth, careful study of its light shows not only the changes expected as Ceres rotates, but also that the spots brighten during the day and also show other variations. ...
