A self-calibration approach for optical long baseline interferometry imaging

چکیده
Current optical interferometers are affected by unknown turbulent phases on each telescope. In the field of radio-interferometry, the self-calibration technique is a powerful tool to process interferometric data with missing phase information. This paper intends to revisit the application of self-calibration to Optical Long Baseline Interferometry (OLBI ). We cast rigorously the OLBI data processing problem into the self-calibration framework and demonstrate the efficiency of the method on real astronomical OLBI dataset. c © 2008 Optical Society of America

Self-calibration approach for optical long-baseline interferometry imaging.

متن کاملIntegrated optics for astronomical interferometry - I. Concept and astronomical applications
We propose a new instrumental concept for long-baseline optical single-mode interferometry using integrated optics which were developed for telecommunication. Visible and infrared multi-aperture interferometry requires many optical functions (spatial filtering, beam combination, photometric calibration, polarization control) to detect astronomical signals at very high angular resolution. Since ...
متن کاملSearchCal: a Virtual Observatory tool for searching calibrators in optical long baseline interferometry
In long baseline interferometry, the raw fringe contrast must be calibrated to obtain the true visibility and then those observables that can be interpreted in terms of astrophysical parameters. The selection of suitable calibration stars is crucial for obtaining the ultimate precision of interferometric instruments like the VLTI. Potential calibrators must have spectro-photometric properties a...
متن کاملCalibration of MIDI , the Mid - infrared Interferometer for the VLTI
Calibration of MIDI, the Mid-infrared Interferometer for the VLTI MIDI is the MID-infrared Interferometric Instrument at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). It will perform long-baseline stellar interferometry in the N band (8. . . 13 μm). In the run-up of setting up MIDI, some preparatory tasks had to be solved concerning the calibration of the instrument in the laboratory. Being a...
متن کاملA New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion
This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
