New views of Betelgeuse: multi-wavelength surface imaging and implications for models of hotspot generation

We report contemporaneous multi-wavelength interferometric imaging of the red supergiant star Betelgeuse ( α Orionis), using the Cambridge Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope (COAST) and the William Herschel Telescope (WHT), at wavelengths of 700, 905 and 1290 nm. We find a strong variation in the apparent symmetry of the stellar brightness distribution as a function of wavelength. At 700 nm the star is highly asymmetric, and can be modelled as the superposition of three bright spots on a strongly limb-darkened disc. However, at 905 nm only a single low-contrast feature is visible and at 1290 nm the star presents a featureless symmetric disc. The change in spot contrast with wavelength is consistent with a model in which the bright spots represent unobscured areas of elevated temperature, owing perhaps to convection, on a stellar disc that itself has a different appearance, i.e. geometrical extent and limb-darkening profile, at different wavelengths. The featureless centre-to-limb brightness profile seen at 1290 nm is consistent with this model and suggests that future interferometric monitoring of the star to quantify the size changes associated with radial velocity variations should be performed at similar wavelengths in the near-infrared.     

Wavelength dependence of angular diameters of M giants: an observational perspective

We discuss the wavelength dependence of angular diameters of M giants from an observational perspective. Observers cannot directly measure an optical-depth radius for a star, despite this being a common theoretical definition. Instead, they can use an interferometer to measure the square of the fringe visibility. We present new plots of the wavelength-dependent centre-to-limb variation (CLV) of intensity of the stellar disc as well as visibility for Mira and non-Mira M giant models. We use the terms 'CLV spectra' and 'visibility spectra' for these plots. We discuss a model-predicted extreme limb-darkening effect (also called the narrow-bright-core effect) in very strong TiO bands which can lead to a misinterpretation of the size of a star in these bands. We find no evidence as yet that this effect occurs in real stars. Our CLV spectra can explain the similarity in visibilities of R Dor (M8IIIe) that have been observed recently, despite the use of two different passbands. We compare several observations with models, and find that the models generally underestimate the observed variation in visibility with wavelength. We present CLV and visibility spectra for a model that is applicable to the M supergiant α Ori.

编队卫星InsAR系统的相位同步分析

编队卫星InSAR系统属多基雷达系统,依靠编队卫星构型形成干涉所需的基线。一发多收工作模式下的编队卫星InSAR高程测量系统,协同工作的雷达间必须建立时间同步、相位同步和空间同步,其同步精度将影响InSAR系统的功能与性能。三大同步中,相位同步误差直接影响SAR复影像的相位误差,从而影响系统的高程测量精度。本文根据编队卫星条件下SAR成像的要求,对相位同步的要求进行了分析,并给出了由于相位不同步所引起的相位误差对InSAR高程测量精度影响。分析结果表明,编队卫星InSAR系统对于相位同步的要求包含两个方面:一是为保证被动雷达能够对回波实现相参成像,在整个合成孔径时间内,主动和被动两个雷达在载波相位上必须保持确定和可知的关系,且其差值随系统距离向分辨率的不同必须限定在一定范围内;二是在整个干涉数据的录取时间里,主动和被动两个雷达载波相位同步误差不能超过高程测量的精度要求所允许的误差。

Improvements for group delay fringe tracking

Group delay fringe tracking using spectrally dispersed fringes is suitable for stabilizing the optical path difference in ground-based astronomical optical interferometers in low light level situations. We discuss the performance of group delay tracking algorithms when the effects of atmospheric dispersion, high-frequency atmospheric temporal phase variations, non-ideal path modulation, non-ideal spectral sampling, and the detection artifacts introduced by electron-multiplying CCDs are taken into account, and we present ways in which the tracking capability can be optimized in the presence of these effects.     

基于多尺度相关性分析的InSAR对流层延迟误差改正算法

针对合成孔径雷达干涉技术中对流层延迟误差会影响DEM精度的问题,提出采用小波多尺度相关性分析方法来减弱与高程相关的对流层延迟误差的影响,来提高合成孔径雷达干涉DEM的估计精度。该方法基于小波多分辨率分析理论,根据差分干涉相位不同组成的频率特性,利用小波分解重构均方根误差变化率确定分解层数,降低地形残差相位、噪声相位等对大气延迟误差相位估计的干扰,提取对流层延迟误差相位所在频带;然后结合对流层延迟误差相位和雷达坐标系下的DEM在不同尺度上的相关性定权并进行降权处理,重构解缠差分干涉图,改正差分干涉相位中与高程相关的对流层延迟的影响。采用本文方法对覆盖河南义马地区的2景ENVISAT ASAR数据进行处理,得到对流层延迟误差改正后的差分干涉图,估计的与高程相关的对流层延迟相位,与地形变化情况吻合。将对流层延迟误差改正后的干涉图用于DEM高程估计,结果显示本文方法重建的DEM与Aster GDEM的标准差由30.7 m提高到26.37 m,提高了InSAR DEM估计精度。
