摘要:

参考星差分成像(RDI)是高对比度成像的一种强有力的策略。通过使用$L^\prime$波段的Keck/NIRC 2涡旋日冕模式进行的示例观测,我们证明了RDI与角微分成像(ADI)相比,在小角间距处对点源提供了更高的灵敏度。将RDI应用于低质量伴星HIP 79124 C(192质量分离,$ΔL^\prime$ =4.01)和HIP 78233 B(141质量分离,$ΔL^\prime$ =4.78)的图像,后者是第一次成像探测,相对于ADI,它们探测的重要性增加了5倍。我们比较了参考系选择的方法,发现帧的预先选择提高了点源的检测意义,最多可达3倍。此外,我们使用周围的MWC 758和2 MASS J16042165-2130284的拱星盘的观察表明,RDI允许准确映射的散射光分布没有自减文物。

英文摘要:

Reference star differential imaging (RDI) is a powerful strategy for high contrast imaging. Using example observations taken with the vortex coronagraph mode of Keck/NIRC2 in $L^\prime$ band, we demonstrate that RDI provides improved sensitivity to point sources at small angular separations compared to angular differential imaging (ADI). Applying RDI to images of the low-mass stellar companions HIP 79124 C (192 mas separation, $ΔL^\prime$=4.01) and HIP 78233 B (141 mas separation, $ΔL^\prime$=4.78), the latter a first imaging detection, increases the significance of their detections by up to a factor of 5 with respect to ADI. We compare methods for reference frames selection and find that pre-selection of frames improves detection significance of point sources by up to a factor of 3. In addition, we use observations of the circumstellar disks around MWC 758 and 2MASS J16042165-2130284 to show that RDI allows for accurate mapping of scattered light distributions without self-subtraction artifacts.
