AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the use of the rmpupil command in IRAF to remove pupil ghosts from images. Pupil ghosts are fixed artifacts resulting from multiple reflections of background light, which can interfere with photometric analysis. Users are encouraged to refer to the "New Mosaic Reduction Capabilities" section for guidance on employing the rmpupil command effectively. Understanding the nature of pupil ghosts is crucial for accurate data reduction in astronomical imaging. The conversation highlights the importance of addressing these artifacts for improved image quality.

Hi. My name is abi. I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove pupil ghost from images using the rmpupil command in IRAF.

The above is old, hope this helps? What is a pupil ghost?
 
Thanks. A pupil ghost is a fixed feature that comes from multiple reflections of the diffuse background from the sky or the telescope pupil. It is seen in flat images when doing photometry
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
