UTM, a universal simulator for lightcurves of transiting systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The Universal Transit Modeller (UTM) is a light-curve simulator for all kinds of transiting or eclipsing configurations between arbitrary numbers of several types of objects, which may be stars, planets, planetary moons, and planetary rings. Applications of UTM to date have been mainly in the generation of light-curves for the testing of detection algorithms. For the preparation of such test for the Corot Mission, a special version has been used to generate multicolour light-curves in Corot’s passbands. A separate fitting program, UFIT (Universal Fitter) is part of the UTM distribution and may be used to derive best fits to light-curves for any set of continuously variable parameters. UTM/UFIT is written in IDL code and its source is released in the public domain under the GNU General Public License.

A SuperWASP search for additional transiting planets in 24 known systems
We present results from a search for additional transiting planets in 24 systems already known to contain a transiting planet. We model the transits due to the known planet in each system and subtract these models from lightcurves obtained with the SuperWASP survey instruments. These residual lightcurves are then searched for evidence of additional periodic transit events. Although we do not fi...

Let UTM(m,n) be the class of universal Turing machine with m states and n symbols. Universal Turing machines are proved to exist in the following classes: UTM(24,2), UTM( 10,3), UTM(7,4), UTM(5,5), UTM(4,6), UTM(3,lO) and UTM(2,18).
متن کاملA Microcomputer-Based Simulator for Digital Control Systems
A microcomputer-based simulator for digital control systems is proposed. The proposed simulator is a hybrid system in which the plant is simulated by conventional method of analog computers and other parts of the system including generation of input signal is performed digitally, using a Z-80 based microcomputer. To overcome the difficulty of programming in assembly language, and at the same ti...
متن کاملHardware Support for Unbounded Transactional Memory
In this thesis, I propose a design for hardware transactional memory where the transaction size is not bounded by a specialized hardware buffer such as a cache. I describe an unbounded transactional memory system called UTM (unbounded transactional memory) that exploits the perceived common case where transactions are small but still supports transactions of arbitrary size. As in previous hardw...
