Next: Discussion Up: The Second EGRET Catalog Previous: First Catalog Sources . In the first EGRET catalog, upper limits were given for selected objects not detected during the Phase 1 all-sky survey. These upper limits are determined using the likelihood calculation and depend on the EGRET exposure to a given direction, the contribution of the diffuse gamma radiation, and the proximity and strength of detected sources. ...

The bkg keyword is used to perform throughput and emission calculations pertaining to the background signal component of grism observations. In grism observations, a given detector pixel will receive source signal from only a small wavelength interval of the dispersed source spectrum, but it will receive background signal from the entire bandpass of the grism. ... The bkg keyword is only valid when grisms are specified as part of the obsmode. ...

... 2015 . ... Observations using the Arecibo S-band (2380 MHz, 12.6 cm) planetary radar system started in 1976 and its power and sensitivity were greatly improved with the telescope upgrade and Gregorian-dome installation in the mid-1990s. Below, we show the number of near-Earth asteroids attempted and detected since the radar program resumed in 1998. ... The number of NHATS objects detected with Arecibo similarly jumped in 2012, and 2015 was again a record year, where we detected 23 of these objects. ...
