Swift-UVOT和XMM-OM中的测量误差

The measurement errors in the Swift-UVOT and XMM-OM

N. P. M. Kuin, S. R. Rosen

摘要:

在某些光子计数仪器中,如XMM-牛顿卫星上的光学监测器和雨燕卫星上的UVOT,由于探测器的特性,光子测量的概率不遵循泊松分布,而是二项分布。对于单像素近似,由Fordham、Moorhead和Galbraith(2000)推导出入射计数率作为测量计数率的函数的表达式。我们表明,测量计数率误差是二项式的,并扩展他们的形式主义,以获得错误的事件计数率。在大计数率下,事件计数率的误差大于事件计数率的泊松误差。

英文摘要:

The probability of photon measurement in some photon counting instrumentation, such as the Optical Monitor on the XMM-Newton satellite, and the UVOT on the Swift satellite, does not follow a Poisson distribution due to the detector characteristics, but a Binomial distribution. For a single-pixel approximation, an expression was derived for the incident countrate as a function of the measured count rate by Fordham, Moorhead and Galbraith (2000). We show that the measured countrate error is binomial, and extend their formalism to derive the error in the incident count rate. The error on the incident count rate at large count rates is larger than the Poisson-error of the incident count rate.
