加权在全天监测数据周期性检验中的应用:在GLAST LAT中的应用

The Use of Weighting in Periodicity Searches in All-Sky Monitor Data: Applications to the GLAST LAT

Robin Corbet, Richard Dubois

摘要:

由全天空监测器产生的光变曲线,如罗西X射线定时探测器全天空监测器和雨燕爆发警报望远镜(BAT),通常具有不均匀的误差条。在使用功率谱搜索这种类型的数据中的周期性调制时,使用数据点的适当加权以实现最佳灵敏度可能是重要的。最近证明,对于Swift BAT数据,简单的加权方案实际上有时可以降低功率谱的灵敏度,这取决于源亮度。相反,一个修改后的加权方案,基于Cochran半加权平均值,给出了独立于源亮度的改进结果。我们调查的好处加权功率谱周期搜索使用模拟GLAST LAT观测伽玛射线双星。

英文摘要:

The light curves produced by all-sky monitors, such as the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All-Sky Monitor and the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT), generally have non-uniform error bars. In searching for periodic modulation in this type of data using power spectra it can be important to use appropriate weighting of data points to achieve the best sensitivity. It was recently demonstrated that for Swift BAT data a simple weighting scheme can actually sometimes reduce the sensitivity of the power spectrum depending on source brightness. Instead, a modified weighting scheme, based on the Cochran semi-weighted mean, gives improved results independent of source brightness. We investigate the benefits of weighting power spectra in period searches using simulated GLAST LAT observations of gamma-ray binaries.
