Experience of High Resolution Vlbi Imaging Using Generalized Maximum Entropy Method
The generalized maximum entropy method (GMEM) is a special modification of the standard maximum entropy method (MEM) which seeks solutions in the space of complex functions. In this work a reduced version of the GMEM intended for reconstructing real images with positive and negative values is used. As compared with the standard MEM, intended for the reconstruction of only non-negative images, t...
متن کاملMillimetre - VLBI Monitoring of AGN with Sub - milliarcsecond Resolution
Global millimetre VLBI allows detailed studies of the most central jet regions of AGN with unprecedent spatial resolution of a few 100–1000 Schwartzschild radii to be made. Study of these regions will help to answer the question how the highly relativistic AGN jets are launched and collimated. Since the early 1990s, bright mm-sources have been observed with global 3 mm VLBI. Here we present new...
متن کاملHigh-resolution Millimeter-vlbi Imaging of Sgr A*
We present the highest resolution VLBI imaging observations of Sgr A* made at both 7 and 3.5 mm. These data reveal wavelength-dependent intrinsic sizes with an intrinsic emitting region at 3.5 mm of about 1 AU (at a distance of 8 kpc to the Galactic Center). When combined with the lower limit on the mass of Sgr A*, these size measurements provide strong evidence that Sgr A* is a super-massive b...
متن کاملMaximum entropy method for diffractive imaging.
Based on the minimization of the Lagrange formula, which is composed of two kinds of information measure, the maximum entropy method (MEM) is derived for diffractive imaging contaminated by quantum noise. This gives a suitable object corresponding to the maximum entropy principle with an iterative procedure. The MEM-based iterative phase retrieval algorithm with the initial process of the hybri...
متن کاملA Study of High-Resolution X-ray Scattering Data Evaluation by the Maximum-Entropy Method
The ability of the maximum-entropy method (in the program MAXENT) to estimate the distancedistribution function from high-resolution X-ray scattering data is studied. It is demonstrated that a key element for the successful application of M A X E N T is the use of a good prior estimate for the distance-distribution function. For simulated as well as experimental data, the effects of different p...
