Active Blobs

چکیده
A new region-based approach to nonrigid motion tracking is described. Shape is defined in terms of a deformable triangular mesh that captures object shape plus a color texture map that captures object appearance. Photometric variations are also modeled. Nonrigid shape registration and motion tracking are achieved by posing the problem as an energy-based, robust minimization procedure. The approach provides robustness to occlusions, wrinkles, shadows, and specular highlights. The formulation is tailored to take advantage of texture mapping hardware available in many workstations, PC's, and game consoles. This enables nonrigid tracking at speeds approaching video rate.

The Source of Mass Accreted by the Central Black Hole in Cooling Flow Clusters
This paper reports the study of the cold-feedback heating in cooling flow clusters. In the cold-feedback model the mass accreted by the central black hole originates in non-linear over-dense blobs of gas residing in an extended region (r . 5 − 30 kpc); these blobs are originally hot, but then cool faster than their environment and sink toward the center. The intra-cluster medium (ICM) entropy p...
متن کاملExplaining the Observed Lyα ‘Blobs’ as Cold Streams of Gas in the Halos of Galaxies
Over the past decade, mysterious blobs of Lyα emission by hydrogen have been discovered in the vicinity of galaxies at early cosmic times . Although a number of possible models were proposed to explain these blobs , none appeared to be consistent with all available data. In a seemingly unrelated frontier, the latest computer simulations of galaxy formation reveal streams of cold (∼ 10 K) gas fe...
متن کاملBlack hole masses and Doppler factors of γ - ray active galactic nuclei
The sizes of the broad-line regions (BLRs) in γ-ray active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are estimated from their optical continuum luminosity by using the empirical relation between RBLR and Lλ,opt. Using the broad emission line data, we derive the photon energy density in the relativistic blobs near the massive black holes in AGNs. We calculate the power of the broad-line photons Compton up-scattere...
متن کاملA test on external Compton models for γ-ray active galactic nuclei
There is clear evidence that the γ-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is attributed to the inverse Compton scatterings in the relativistic blobs near the massive black holes. If the soft seed photons are from the regions outside the blobs, a linear relation between (νFν,γ/νFν,synu ) and Doppler factor δ is expected, where νFν,γ and νFν,syn are monochromatic γ-ray and synchrotron fl...
متن کاملCold Feedback in Cooling–Flow Galaxy Clusters
We put forward an alternative view to the Bondi–driven feedback between heating and cooling of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) in cooling flow (CF) galaxies and clusters. We adopt the popular view that the heating is due to an active galactic nucleus (AGN), i.e. a central black hole accreting mass and launching jets and/or winds. We propose that the feedback occurs with the entire cool inner reg...
متن کاملOn the Nature of Feedback Heating in Cooling Flow Clusters
We study the feedback between heating and cooling of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) in cooling flow (CF) galaxies and clusters. We adopt the popular view that the heating is due to an active galactic nucleus (AGN), i.e. a central black hole accreting mass and launching jets and/or winds. We propose that the feedback occurs with the entire cool inner region (r . 5 − 30 kpc), where the non-linear...
