... smoothstyle =`template'. Suppose you wish to make a false-colour image from several images of the same piece of sky taken in different energy bands (or at different values of any other quantity). If the input images are event-based images of low exposure it may be rewarding to adaptively smooth them before combining them into a colour image. ... This template image just stores the characteristic width of the gaussian used to smooth each pixel of the input image. ...

This diagram illustrates two block boxes, one above the other, with rectangular clipping regions of different dimensions. ... Both axes depict increments of 5px. The clipping region of the first P box lies entirely within it, offset 5px from the top and left edges of the P box, and 10px from the right and bottom edges. ... The clipping region of the second P box resembles that of the first in style and position, except that the right edge is 5px to the right of the P box's right edge. ...

Next: AO data and AIPS++ Up: Spectral-Line Observing at AO Previous: Useful Stuff . There are currently a number of ways you can convert Arecibo data into other data formats, and a variety of support levels for different data analysis programs. As a result it is feasible to reduce your Arecibo data with a wide range of data reduction software. ... In the following two section we describe spectral line data analysis in two of the available data reduction packages - Analyz and AIPS++. ...

... The FOS employed one of six basic data taking modes to acquire science data: . Spectrophotometry (ACCUM). ... Image. ... ACCUM was by far the most commonly used observing mode. ... In IMAGE mode observations both the number and length of rasters and the y- position of each raster could be specified, so that: 1) a white-light image of all or a portion of the aperture was possible with the MIRROR, and 2) spectra from different portions of the aperture were sampled with a disperser. ...

... Microlocal Analysis is a theory of Pseudo-Differential Operators and Fourier Integral Operators (PDOs and FIOs). ... Microlocal analysis comes in few flavors. ... We will consider semi-classical PDOs and FIOs: one can always get from there to standard PDOs and FIOs but semi-classical theory has more applications. Less formal description of (semi-classical) microlocal analysis is ``a semi-classical limit of quantum mechanics'' or ``high-frequency limit of electrodynamics'' (etc). ...
