... In this section we list important sources of documentation for the FOS and its various types of output data. Six versions of the FOS Instrument Handbook were written. Two of these-the updated pre-launch edition, version 1.1, and the last, version 6.0-exist as electronic documents (currently available only in PostScript format on the FOS WWW Documentation page). ... Most ISRs are available on the FOS WWW Documentation page. ... The FOS WWW page is directly available at: . ...

Now in 2006, after seven years of science operation with the innovative, complex, and still growing instrumentation suite at the VLT, it is timely to review the achievements and limitations of the established instrument calibration plans together with the ESO user community. ...

... Within SAS, a tool is available to check the pile-up fraction in the pn data: epatplot . This tool compares the observed pattern distributions (derived from a pn calibrated and concatenated even list) with the calibrated models. ... The lower panel is the key element for the evaluation of the pile-up fraction: it shows the observed distribution of pattern as a function of energy (PI channel in Analog-Digital Units ), using the same color code. ...

... There are compelling reasons for the pulsar community to utilise a standard data storage format. For example, standardisation of file formats significantly decreases the amount of effort required to integrate new instruments into the analysis chain. ... Accordingly, we have defined PSRFITS as a standard FITS-based format for pulsar data files. ... For example, the first line of Processing History HDU contains information about the data acquisition program and the initial structure of the file. ...

The contextual menu on each control can return that control to the current setting of the instrument. ... Note that it saves the state of the controls, not the actual state of the instrument, so you can save any preset you like without commanding the instrument. ... Then change any controls you like and press Apply to apply. ...

... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...
