... This task takes an OM OSW source list and a source number and produces EVSELECT region files for the source and its associated background. The source extraction region is a circle, centred on the source position and extending out to srcrad (default 3) times the FWHM of the source PSF (as given in the source list). ... If a source is within srcrad FWHM of the background extraction annulus then a circle of srcrad FWHM surrounding this source is excluded from the background region. ...

This diagram illustrates a floating image that overlaps the borders of two paragraphs in normal flow: the paragraph borders are clipped by the non-transparent parts of the image. ... A left-floating image causes the final three lines of the upper paragraph to float along its right side. It causes the first three lines of the following paragraph to do the same, and the remainder of that paragraph flows normally. The paragraph borders shine through the margin area of the image box. ...

... SFIT is a general-purpose code designed to optimize theoretical stellar spectra to an observed spectrum. ... While the programme expects input from "stdio", it is more natural to save commands in a file (eg "sfit_input") and run the code simply by . ... If the spectra to be fitted have a filename "star_spectrum", then the best fit spectrum will be written out, together with the renormalized input spectrum, to a file called "star_spectrum.fit". ... sets up model spectrum grid (and for 2nd star) . ...

... It turns out one possibility is a form of matter/energy invented by Einstein in the 1920s to make sure his equations of General Relativity did not predict the Expansion of the Universe. Although Einstein was willing to predict several things with his equations of General Relativity, he obviously thought an expanding Universe was too much, and so he invented the Cosmological Constant, which repels itself, and was meant to balance the force of gravity, and make the Universe static. ...

... A frequently used procedure, alternative to the correction for the chromatic response, is to normalise the continuum to unity by dividing the observed spectrum by a smooth approximation of its continuum. This approximation can be obtained either interactively with the graphic cursor, or from a table (command NORMALIZE/SPECTRUM ) or by dividing the raw data by itself after filtering or smoothing. Median filtering and running average algorithms are well suited for this purpose (command FILTER ). ...

... Using a simple 2-D Gaussian Point Spread Function (PSF) on a constant (flat) sky background, I derive a theoretical photometric and astrometric performance model for analytical and digital PSF-fitting stellar photometry. ... The photometric performance is maximized when either the effective background area or the effective-background-level measurement error is minimized. ... An important, but frequently ignored, noise source is the uncertainty of the measurement of the effective background level ( )...

... Mars to Appear Normal this August . ... October is the best month to see Mars this year. ... As Earth catches up to Mars in their respective orbits around the Sun, Mars will keep rising earlier in the night. On 2005 October 30, Earth will have caught up to Mars and the planets will be the nearest to each other in their orbits -- this time around. On October 30, Mars will be nearly opposite to the Sun, rise at sunset, set at sunrise, and appear highest and brightest around midnight. ...
