干涉仪在球面上成像:球面波谐波变换

Imaging on a Sphere with Interferometers: the Spherical Wave Harmonic Transform

T. D. Carozzi

摘要:

我提出了一个精确的和明确的解决方案标量(斯托克斯通量强度)无线电干涉仪成像方程的球面上,这也是有效的非共面干涉仪配置。该成像方程与$w$项成像算法相当,但是通过使用球面而不是笛卡尔公式,该项没有特殊意义。提出的解决方案还允许直接识别天空中的标量(自旋0加权)球谐函数。该方法应感兴趣的未来多航天器干涉仪,宽场成像与非共面阵列,和CMB球面谐波测量使用干涉仪。

英文摘要:

I present an exact and explicit solution to the scalar (Stokes flux intensity) radio interferometer imaging equation on a spherical surface which is valid also for non-coplanar interferometer configurations. This imaging equation is comparable to $w$-term imaging algorithms, but by using a spherical rather than a Cartesian formulation this term has no special significance. The solution presented also allows direct identification of the scalar (spin 0 weighted) spherical harmonics on the sky. The method should be of interest for future multi-spacecraft interferometers, wide-field imaging with non-coplanar arrays, and CMB spherical harmonic measurements using interferometers.
