α-Visibility

چکیده
We study a new class of visibility problems based on the notion of α-visibility. Given an angle α and a collection of line segments S in the plane, a segment t is said to be α-visible from a point p, if there exists an empty triangle with one vertex at p and the side opposite to p on t such that the angle at p is α. In this model of visibility, we study the classical variants of point visibility, weak and complete segment visibility, and the construction of the visibility graph. We also investigate the natural query versions of these problems, when α is either fixed or specified at query time.

متن کاملAre dust shell models well-suited to explain interferometric data of late-type stars in the near-infrared?
Recently available near-infrared interferometric data on late-type stars show a strong increase of diameter for asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars between the K (2.0 − 2.4 μm) and L (3.4 − 4.1 μm) bands. Aiming at an explanation of these findings, we chose the objects α Orionis (Betelgeuse), SW Virginis, and R Leonis, which are of different spectral types and stages of evolution, and which are...
متن کاملOn Generalized Diamond Spanners
Given a set P of points in the plane and a set L of non-crossing line segments whose endpoints are in P , a constrained plane geometric graph is a plane graph whose vertex set is P and whose edge set contains L. An edge e has the α-visible diamond property if one of the two isosceles triangles with base e and base angle α does not contain any points of P visible to both endpoints of e. A constr...
متن کاملWavelength dependence of angular diameters of M giants: an observational perspective
We discuss the wavelength dependence of angular diameters of M giants from an observational perspective. Observers cannot directly measure an optical-depth radius for a star, despite this being a common theoretical definition. Instead, they can use an interferometer to measure the square of the fringe visibility. We present new plots of the wavelength-dependent centre-tolimb variation (CLV) of ...
متن کاملInfrared Spectra and Visibilities as Probes of the Outer Atmospheres of Red Supergiant Stars
In the light of the recent results of the stellar interferometry, we examine the nature of the extra molecular layer outside the photosphere of red supergiant stars, so far studied mostly with the use of the infrared spectra. Although the visibility data are more direct probes of the spatial structure of the outer atmosphere, it is essential that they are analyzed in combination with the spectr...
