Mode vs. Median Background

  • The problem with using the mode is that if a number does not appear more than once then the mode just takes the first number in the list.

  • Generated 64 stars.

  • Generated 50 stars.
 
  • For each randomly generated star position, a Gaussian was generated with the given centers and randomly choisen parameters from fitting images of Location 1 in focus filter (exposure time: 10 seconds).
  • The resulting Gaussian for one star was calculated over the entire image. This was done for all the stars.

  • A background of Poissonian distributed random variables with mean 160 pixel values was also added.
 
  • Each pixel was then treated such that its pixel value up to this point was taken as the mean of a Poissonian distribution. A random Poissonian variables was then generated with that mean and this was set as the pixel value for each given pixels.

  • The resulting field and its background:

  • When run through our floodfill algorithm and it found 47 stars. Following stars were found:

  • It removed well shaped stars but left some stars that resemble galaxies. Must fix this.
  • Width ratios shown below and calculated using:
\begin{equation} \sigma_x = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^N (x_i - x_{\rm center})^2 p_i}{\sum_{i=1}^N p_i}}\end{equation} \begin{equation} \sigma_y = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^N (y_i - y_{\rm center})^2p_i}{\sum_{i=1}^N p_i}}\end{equation} <br />

  • The distances between found centers and generated centers is shown below:

  • Largest distance is due to the following star:

  • Disrepancy is due to neighbouring star.
 

Skeweness of data

  • Last week we saw that the brightest star appeared to be skewed and was not fitted properly.
  • Fitted:

  • Here is a zoomed in brightest star in the image just for reference:

  • Fitted skewed Gaussians to brightest and dimmest stars and compared them to unskewed Gaussians:

Maximum Likelihood fitting

  • The predicted pixel value for a pixel is the following:
\begin{equation} \nu_{ij} = n_{\rm{tot}} \int \int_{ij} f(x,y,\vec{\theta}) dx dy \end{equation} <br />
  • where $i,j$ is pixel coordinates, $f(x,y,\vec{\theta})$ is the Gaussian, $n_{tot}$ is the total number of pixel values.
  • However, no integration was perfomed, the Gaussian was just calculated over the pixel.
  • The maximum likelihood (Poissonian):
