The DODO survey – II. A Gemini direct imaging search for substellar and planetary mass companions around nearby equatorial and Northern hemisphere white dwarfs

The aim of the Degenerate Objects around Degenerate Objects (DODO) survey is to search for very low-mass brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets in wide orbits around white dwarfs via direct imaging. The direct detection of such companions would allow the spectroscopic investigation of objects with temperatures much lower  (<500 K)  than the coolest brown dwarfs currently observed. These ultra-low-mass substellar objects would have spectral types >T8.5, and so could belong to the proposed Y dwarf spectral sequence. The detection of a planet around a white dwarf would prove that such objects can survive the final stages of stellar evolution and place constraints on the frequency of planetary systems around their progenitors (with masses between 1.5 and 8   M_⊙  , i.e. early B to mid-F). This paper presents the results of a multi epoch J band common proper motion survey of 23 nearby equatorial and Northern hemisphere white dwarfs. We rule out the presence of any common proper motion companions, with limiting masses determined from the completeness limit of each observation, to 18 white dwarfs. For the remaining five targets, the motion of the white dwarf is not sufficiently separated from the non-moving background objects in each field. These targets require additional observations to conclusively rule out the presence of any common proper motion companions. From our completeness limits, we tentatively suggest that  ≲5 per cent  of white dwarfs have substellar companions with   T _eff≳ 500 K  between projected physical separations of 60–200 au.

Stereoscopic imaging of the hydroxyl emissive layer at low latitudes

The hydroxyl nightglow layer is an excellent tracer of the dynamical processes occurring within the mesosphere. A new stereo-imaging method is applied that not only measures the altitude of the airglow layer but also provides a three-dimensional map of the OH-layer centroid heights. A campaign was conducted in July 2006 in Peru to obtain NIR images of the OH nightglow layer which were simultaneously taken for two sites separated by 645 km: Cerro Cosmos (12°09′08.2″S, 75°33′49.3″W, altitude 4630 m) and Cerro Verde Tellolo (16°33′17.6″S, 71°39′59.4″W, altitude 2330 m). Data represented by pairs of images obtained during the nights of July 26-27 and 28-29 are analyzed to yield satellite-type views of the wave field. These are obtained by application of an inversion algorithm. In calculating the normalized cross-correlation parameter for the intensity, three-dimensional maps of the OH nightglow layer surface are retrieved. The mean altitude of the emission profile barycenter is found to be at 87.1 km on July 26 and 89.5 km on July 28. In these two cases the horizontal wavelengths determined are 21.1 and 24.6 km with periods of 18 and 34 min, respectively. A panoramic view of the OH nightglow emission obtained on July 29 at 8 h51-9 h26 UT is presented, in which the overall direction of the waves is found to be N-NW to S-SE, azimuth 150°-330° (counted from South). The wave kinetic energy density at the OH nightglow layer altitude is 3.9×10⁻⁴ W/kg, which is comparable to the values derived from partial reflection radiowave data.

考虑实际投影成像平面位置的扇束滤波反投影(FFBP)算法

扇束滤波反投影(Fan-beam Filtered Back Projection- FFBP)算法理论公式中,投影成像平面位于旋转中心;而实际CT扫描系统中,投影成像平面与旋转中心都存在一定距离.考虑到实际投影成像平面位置,本文推导了它的FFBP算法(即IFFBP-Improved Fan-beam Filtered Back Projection算法),比较了此两种情况下(即忽略成像平面与旋转中心距离)FFBP、IFFBP算法重建质量.计算机模拟和实验结果证明了IFFBP算法的正确性.

地形起伏对雷达景象实际匹配影响初探

雷达景象匹配由于具有全天候的特征,在飞行器导航与定位中受到重视,但因为地形起伏影响,实际地物在雷达景象上的成像会发生变形与移位,这将影响实时雷达景象与参考基准图匹配的精度。根据实时雷达景象的成像方式,利用参考基准图模拟出地面平坦条件下的模拟雷达图一;并利用DEM数据,采用纠正方法,在该模拟雷达图上引入地面起伏因素的影响,得到地面起伏情况下的实际成像——模拟雷达图二。试验中,将同一地区的两类模拟雷达实时图分别与参考基准图影像进行匹配,比较匹配的结果,针对其匹配差异分析地面起伏对雷达景象匹配的实际影响,最后得出结论——实际地面在雷达图上的成像特征是影响匹配的最主要因素,地形起伏对匹配的影响与地面特征的分布有关,只有起伏区域存在明显地物特征时才会对匹配产生影响。
