... The amount of energy encircled by an aperture used for stellar photometry will depend on both the aperture size, and also on any variations in the PSF with field position, time, etc. ... The differences in photometric magnitude between apertures with various radii (i.e. aperture corrections), and their mean and standard deviations for the F555W filter, are presented in Table 5.5 . ... Variations in the PSF with field position will, of course, cause a position dependence in the aperture corrections. ...

I read with interest the letter from Stephen White in the June 2001 edition of the ATNF Newsletter, pointing out that the current 3-mm upgrade of the ATCA, while providing powerful new facilities, will not provide the first 3-mm interferometer in the Southern Hemisphere. ... The interferometer and eclipse results, taken together, indicated that the solar brightness distribution at a wavelength of 3-mm was constant over the disc except for a narrow bright ring at the solar limb. ...

... While there is practically no detector noise present at energies above , X-ray data below are considerably contaminated by noise events, which become more and more dominant towards the lowest transmitted energies (Fig. ... Investigations of 40 hours of in-orbit calibration data with the filter wheel closed, taken over a period of more than two years, showed that the noise properties vary with position and energy, but are fairly stable in time for most areas on the detector. ...

... The tracking (i.e. unguided) performance of the United Kingdom Infra-Red Telescope (UKIRT) relies on the accuracy of its 24 bit absolute encoders. These have been long known to generate two systematic errors. The first is a periodic error resulting from the encoder deriving the last 8 resolution bits by interpolation between the rulings on its code disk. ... To estimate the measurement errors we introduce a periodic filter to model and a Kalman filter to model . ...
