... OM images are affected by a fixed modulo-8 pattern originating from the on-board centroiding of photon events to one eighth of the physical CCD pixel (see [ 1 ] or [ 3 ]) . The task ommodmap implements modulo-8 pattern correction by redistributing the photon counts over the -pixel areas of the image. ... With this, the total number of the photon events is conserved, as in the first method. ... Figure 2: OM grism image with a bright spectrum affected by the modulo-8 noise and coincidence losses. ...

... WFPC2 Home . ... Bright stars near the WFPC2 field of view can cause various artifacts to appear in science images. ... When writing Phase II proposals, observers will sometimes attempt to avoid bright stars by placing them in the un-imaged "L" shaped region adjacent to CCD PC1, or in the region just outside the nominal field of view. ... In both cases the optics can image this light back onto the CCD's. Bright stars must be placed at least 10 arcseconds outside the field to avoid artifacts. ...

In this section the program counts the integral for each region of the grid for each image. ... As a matter of fact, the integral is total brightness of the region and it is counted by 'int_tabulated' IDL function. ... In addition, the program will show the count of the regions which correlate with the corresponding region (the brighter region means the bigger count) and its contour. ...

The aim is to investigate the existence of propagating waves in the solar chromosphere and the transition region via analyzing the statistical distribution of power in different locations, e.g. in bright magnetic (network), bright non-magnetic and dark non-magnetic (interтАУnetwork) regions, separately. ... We detect the presence of longтАУperiod oscillations with periods between 15 and 30 minutes in bright magnetic regions...

... Low resolution, slitless spectral images were obtained at the Loiano Observatory in the wavelength window 3300-6420 ?, in order to identify in extragalactic objects targets displaying the most prominent features that characterise the spectrum of bright hot stars, WR and Luminous Blue Variables (LBV), and of nebular regions as well. We present the results with the well studied galaxy M 101, where the previously known H II regions with WR star signatures are easily identified. ...

M64 has a very bright nucleus which easily highlights the prominent dust lane (the obvious dark band). The disk of M64 outside of the nuclear regions, in contrast, is rather low surface brightness and generally can't be seen with visual observation or even on some photographs. The image presented here corresponds approximately to that situation since most of the disk is not visible. The overall angular size of M64 is 6 x 3 arcminutes. Only the inner 2 arcminutes have high surface brightness.

... Visible in this image are dense knots of dark interstellar dust , bright stars that have formed in the past few million years, fields of glowing hydrogen gas ionized by these stars, and great loop s of gas expelled by dying stars. ... PAHs are thought to be created in the cooling gas of star forming regions, and their development in the Sun's formation nebula five billion years ago may have been an important step in the development of life on Earth. ... Star Forming Region LH 95 . ...

... Values have been scaled arbitrarily. High ratios are shown in blue, corresponding to blue colors, and low ratios are shown in red, corresponding to red colors. ... Noise combined with background subtraction difficulties in the lower left quadrant of the WISP1 data (see Fig. \ref{Fig:wisp_snr_mskd}) make colors in this area very unreliable. ... The values shown here are typically a factor of ~3 less than those calculated for the Schmidt data, shown in Figure \ref{Fig:bj_alpha}. ...

... It is found that the correlation coefficients between these two parameters calculated separately inside and outside the sunspot formation zone ±30 have cyclic variation and occur in anti-phase. This suggests different mechanisms of formation of the corona in the fields of small, medium, and large scales. ... The relationship between the coronal green line brightness (CGLB) and the magnetic field strength (MFS) has been investigated by constructing the corresponding synoptic maps for the 1977-2001. ...
