ISWI Newsletter - Vol.7 No.01
01 January 2015

Dear ISWI Participant:

This is the first issue of Volume 7 -- this year (2015) marks the seventh year of publication of the ISWI Newsletter. I would like to thank the ISWI community for its ongoing support of this newsletter, as well as for the ongoing support for the ISWI Website maintained by my colleague Mitko in Bulgaria. Among other things, his website hosts the archive for this newsletter -- there you can find all newsletter back-issues, going back to Issue 001 of Volume 1.

On this most auspicious day, the First Day of Year 2015, I ask for your continued support and I ask that you continue to send in material that will be of interest to the entire ISWI community. Knowledge is created through sharing and inter-action.

Editor of ISWI Newsletter

[4] Can anyone help Mr Monstein with his script search?

His request is the following:
Hi George,

I have no news, but I'm seaching for an IDL script or IDL-function which provides the /ALLAN-Time variance/ or /ALLAN-Time deviation/ of a time-series (lightcurve). May be one of your readers has already written such a code which I'd like to re-use.

I was googling for two days now and found only one script on the Web which produces wrong results. May be you can put my request into your news-letter?

I wish you all the best and a Happy New Year.

Christian
