... 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 ). ...

... Radio telescope interferometers exhibit chromatic aberration effects. ... Reduction packages such as AIPS and AIPS++ will produce a beam pattern image for each frequency channel. This allows these packages to compute a spectral-line cube which has a pixel size (cellsize) independent of frequency. ... Because of this, Miriad produces cubes where the pixel size changes with frequency. ... The correct approach is to produce a cube in Miriad which does not have a variable pixel size. ...
