Space-time analysis of photon-limited stellar speckle interferometry

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The standard method of stellar speckle interferometry, in which short exposure photographs are individually analyzed, is not the most general method of extracting object information from the time-varying image intensity. We introduce a space-time analysis in which both spatial and temporal fluctuations are taken into account; the aim is to measure the power spectrum of the image with an increased signal to noise ratio. Surprisingly, our more general space-time analysis does not yield an improved signal to noise ratio at very low light levels.
