... The routine processing of STIS data in the calibration ``pipeline" requires an interrelated set of software tasks and databases developed and maintained by many groups at STScI. We present the systems-level design of this calibration pipeline from the perspective of the STIS instrument group at STScI. We describe the multiple interfaces to the pipeline processes that the STIS group works across in an effort to provide for the routine calibration of STIS data. ... For example, the STIS group: . ...

... The low energy plasma composition spectrometer AMEI-2 is built to be able to find in the low energy range of the phase space (E, q, j) and separate the fluxes of the major ion species in the magnetotail - H+, He++, He+ and O+, and analyse their energy and angular distributions. ... Electrostatic angular scanning in one direction and the use of the spin of the satellite to sample the other angle give the ability to measure 2-D distributions for each ion specie several times per spin. ...

... 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). ...
