The Future of Photometric, Spectrophotometric and Polarimetric Standardization

چکیده
The use of polarimetric techniques is nowadays widespread among solar and stellar astronomers. However, notwithstanding the recommandations that have often been made about the publication of polarimetric results in the astronomical literature, we are still far from having a standard protocol on which to conform. In this paper we review the basic definitions and the physical significance of the Stokes parameters, and we propose a standardization of the measurement of polarized radiation.

The Future of Photometric, Spectrophotometric and Polarimetric Standardization
The proliferation of near-infrared (1–5 μm) photometric systems over the last 30 years has made the comparison of photometric results difficult. In an effort to standardize infrared filters in use, the Mauna Kea Observatories near-infrared filter set has been promoted among instrument groups through combined filter production runs. The characteristics of this filter set are summarized, and some...

متن کاملThe Future of Photometric, Spectrophotometric and Polarimetric Standardization
In the last few years our knowledge of the physics of massive stars has improved tremendously. However, further investigations are still needed, especially regarding accurate calibrations of their fundamental parameters. To this end, we have constructed a comprehensive grid of NLTE model atmospheres and corresponding synthetic spectra in the massive star domain. The grid covers the complete B t...
متن کاملImprovement of Biomass Estimation in Forest Areas based on Polarimetric Parameters Optimization of SETHI airborne Data using Particle Swarm Optimization Method
Estimation of forest biomass has received much attention in recent decades. Airborne and spaceborne (SAR) have a great potential to quantify biomass and structural diversity because of its penetration capability. Polarizations are important elements in SAR systems due to sensitivity of them to backscattering mechanisms and can be useful to estimate biomass. Full Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture ...
متن کاملQuality Control and Standardization of Rabeprazole Tablets
Rabeprazole sodium is a new stable pharmaceutical composition developed by us in tablet form, consisting of rabeprazole sodium as active ingredient, excipients, a separating layer and enteric coating. The manufacturing method involves pressing with preliminary wet granulation. In this work, a method was developed for the quantitative determination of rabeprazole sodium in tablets with simultane...
