使用贝叶斯块的背景减除和瞬态定时

Background subtraction and transient timing with Bayesian Blocks

Hauke Worpel, Axel D. Schwope

摘要:

目的:将背景扣除纳入贝叶斯块算法,以便即使在存在大量快速变化的背景的情况下,也可以准确和精确地对瞬态事件进行计时。方法:我们开发了几个修改的算法,并测试他们对一个模拟的XMM-牛顿观测的爆发和日食对象。结果如下:我们发现,爆发可以找到几乎所有的背景减法的精度很好,但日食的入口和出口目前的问题,大多数方法。我们发现了一种方法,恢复这些事件的精确度与单个光子之间的间隔相当,其中源和背景区域光子被合并到一个列表中,并根据曝光面积进行加权。我们还发现,调整贝叶斯块变化点更接近具有较高计数率的块,可以消除对低计数率块的系统性偏差。

英文摘要:

Aims: To incorporate background subtraction into the Bayesian Blocks algorithm so that transient events can be timed accurately and precisely even in the presence of a substantial, rapidly variable, background. Methods: We developed several modifications to the algorithm and tested them on a simulated XMM-Newton observation of a bursting and eclipsing object. Results: We found that bursts can be found to good precision for almost all background subtraction methods, but eclipse ingresses and egresses present problems for most methods. We found one method that recovered these events with precision comparable to the interval between individual photons, in which both source and background region photons are combined into a single list and weighted according to the exposure area. We have also found that adjusting the Bayesian Blocks change points nearer to blocks with higher count rate removes a systematic bias towards blocks of low count rate.
