SOFTWARE FOR PROCESSING OF DIGITIZED ASTRONEGATIVES FROM ARCHIVES AND DATABASES OF VIRTUAL OBSERVATORY
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2014, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper discusses and illustrates the steps of basic processing of digitized image of astro negatives. Software for obtaining of a rectangular coordinates and photometric values of objects on photographic plates was created in the environment LINUX / MIDAS / ROMAFOT. The program can automatically process the specified number of files in FITS format with sizes up to 20000 x 20000 pixels. Other programs were made in FORTRAN and PASCAL with the ability to work in an environment of LINUX or WINDOWS. They were used for: identification of stars, separation and exclusion of diffraction satellites and double and triple exposures, elimination of image defects, reduction to the equatorial coordinates and magnitudes of a reference catalogs

INVESTIGATION OF DIFFUSE INTERSTELLAR BANDS OF ORGANIC MOLECULES IN THE SPECTRA OF CEPHEID STARS
We describe an effective method of investigation of the Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIBs) in the spectra of Cepheid stars. DIBs are believed to originate from the absorption of such carriers as polycyclic aromatic hydroc...
FEATURES OF KOTLIN ORBIT ESTIMATION LIBRARY
Since the launch of Sputnik 1, the number of objects in near-earth orbit has been constantly increasing. The growth of number of these objects increases the risk of their collisions with existing satellites and ones whic...
SUPERVISED AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION OF EXTRAGALACTIC SOURCES IN THE WISExSUPERCOSMOS CATALOGUE
We present new catalogue of ~8,500,000 extragalactic objects as a result of automatic classification of WISE and SuperCOSMOS (SCOS) cross-identification product. The main goal is to create a set of candidates...
PROBLEM OF MISTAKES IN DATABASES, PROCESSING AND INTERPRETATION OF OBSERVATIONS OF THE SUN. I.
In databases of observations unnoticed mistakes and misprints could occur at any stage of observation, preparation and processing of databases. The current detection of errors is complicated by the fact that the works of...
INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF PASSIVE CORRELATION RANGING FOR ORBIT DETERMINATION OF A GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE
An international network of passive correlation ranging of a geostationary telecommunication satellite is considered in the article. The network is developed by the RI "MAO". The network consists of five spatially separa...
