  4. Data Reductions neither from theoretical nor from reduction point of view any fundamental difference between Spectroscopic image frames Photometric image frames Observational Astrophysics II: May-June, 2004

  5. Correct for / obtain from multiple image frames: • IRAF • Bias imarith • Dark current • Hot/cold columns • Sky background • Cosmic Rays imcombine • Flat Field • Photometric calibration apphot • Spectrometric calibration identify • rectify spectrum in spatial domainlongslit – fitcoords, transform • extract spectrum noao.twodspec.apextract – apall • measure lines (Gaussian fitting) splot • slit losses sbands Observational Astrophysics II: May-June, 2004

  6. Image restauration techniques How to recover the information in an `image´ or, actually, How to optimise the information extraction Observational Astrophysics II: May-June, 2004

  7. Image restauration techniques I is the observed image, which is a function of the angle vector q, and I equals the convolution of the object O with the filter function T. cumbersome simple An equivalent expression is the product of the Fourier Transforms o and t. To derive the object O, one would simply divide i by t and transform back. Observational Astrophysics II: May-June, 2004

  8. Image restauration techniques In practice, this involves division by zero (or very small numbers) and therefore is impractical numerically. One way out are suggestions like: Jan Högbom, em. Stockhom Observatory CLEAN Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) Maximum Likelihood Method Inversion techniques use conditions like: Source has positivity Source has bounded support Observational Astrophysics II: May-June, 2004

  9. Image restauration techniques • Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) / Maximum Likelihood Method • Most probableobject O is that which • Is most consistent with observed image I • Uses least extra information Image `entropy´ is a function which is maximal when image contains minimal (extra) information: max Entropy for Equilibrium min Information Observational Astrophysics II: May-June, 2004

  10. Example: Maximum Likelihood Algorithm (modified Richardson-Lucy) input undersampled observations Restored Image + Noise source positions ? Observational Astrophysics II: May-June, 2004

  11. test case Iteration Number 0 = start value 1 2 3 done! 4 5 Larsson et al. 2000, Astron. Astrophys. 363, 253 Observational Astrophysics II: May-June, 2004

  12. Before we go to the mountain... don´t forget http://www.not.iac.es/observing/cookbook Observational Astrophysics II: May-June, 2004

  13. ... och nu en liten övning: Slut ögonen och tänk dig att du närmar dig teleskopdomen... Beskriv (i telegramstil) vad du gör härnäst – steg för steg när du nu ska observera med NOT • numrera gärna stegen • lämna gärna mellanrum mellan stegen • vi kommer att jämföra i realtid och fylla i vid behov glöm inte att skriva ditt namn Observational Astrophysics II: May-June, 2004
