... To be read in conjunction with Section 4.11 of the WFPC2 Instrument Handbook , -Version 4.0. ... 1 The second study found evidence that CTE loss for faint stars has increased with time (Whitmore, 1998). The primary observational consequence of CTE loss is that a point source at the top of the chip appears to be fainter than if observed at the bottom of the chip, due to the loss of electrons as the star is read out down the chip (see Figure 1 ). ...

This le contains a table, called SRCLIST, with the following columns: Name Type Description SRC NUM Integer Source ID from observation source list RA Double RA from exposure source list DEC Double Declination from expoure source list RATE Real Count rate from observation source list COUNTS Real Number of source counts, from exposure source ...

Next: The ESO VLT CCD Detectors Software . ... Up: Instrument-Specific Software . ... The framework for data calibration and analysis of the VLT instrumentation is presented, based on the concepts of a calibration plan, pipeline calibration, quality control, and archiving of calibrated data for a ground-based observatory. ... Quality Control Pipeline provides quality assessment for instrument performance data and observing conditions, and tests the results of the Reduction Pipeline. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

During observations of a poorly studied cataclysmic variable RX J1951.7+3716 (Zubareva Antipin 2011), we discovered four new eclipsing variable stars in close vicinity of the variable. ... To search for new variable stars, we used C-Munipack and VaST (Sokolovsky Lebedev 2005) software. ...

Next: Model Spectra for Spectral-Fitting Up: Spectral Analysis Previous: A Quick Look at . ... For ROSAT PSPC data, this conversion is done during the on-line (SASS) processing. For IPC observations, the instrument gain varies both across the detector and in time, and is applied during off-line processing (PROS) using the BAL histogram. By default, spectra are extracted in PI bins for PSPC data and in PHA bins for IPC data. ... Special techniques are required when using Einstein IPC data. ...

... Ignacio Ugarte Urra's PhD thesis topic is the investigation of coronal bright points. In his first paper (in collaboration with Gerry Doyle and Maria Madjarska) he investigated the formation, evolution and decay of a coronal bright point via a spectroscopic analysis of its transition region counterpart and the evolution of the underlying magnetic bipole during 3 days of almost continuous observations. ... In general the bright point has a radiance 4 times higher than that of the network. ...
