A new wavelet - based approach for the automated treatment of large sets of lunar occultation data ⋆
Context. The introduction of infrared arrays for lunar occultations (LO) work and the improvement of predictions based on new deep IR catalogues have resulted in a large increase in the number of observable occultations. Aims. We provide the means for an automated reduction of large sets of LO data. This frees the user from the tedious task of estimating first-guess parameters for the fit of ea...
متن کاملAutonomous Lunar Orbit Determination using Star Occultation Measurements
A method has been developed for performing autonomous Lunar orbit determination based on measurements of the times at which stars set behind or rise above the Lunar limb. This system is being developed as a possible technology for use in the Lunar exploration initiative because it enables increased autonomy of operations near the Moon. The system consists of a specially modified star camera and...
متن کاملThe data analysis of HD 209458 Lyman α transit occultation
Using STIS-HST observations, we have detected an extended upper atmosphere in the extrasolar planet HD 209458b. The spectra show an absorption of 15±4% of the stellar Lyman α emission line during the planetary transit in front of the star. This is interpreted as the signature of H i evaporation taking place around the planet within an extended upper atmosphere (Vidal-Madjar et al., 2003). We pr...
متن کاملInversion, error analysis, and validation of GPS/MET occultation data
The global positioning system meteorology (GPS/MET) experiment was the ®rst practical demonstration of global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-based active limb sounding employing the radio occultation technique. This method measures, as principal observable and with millimetric accuracy, the excess phase path (relative to propagation in vacuum) of GNSS-transmitted radio waves caused by refra...
متن کاملBackpropagation Processing of GPS Radio Occultation Data
We provide an assessment of the backpropagation (BP) method for processing GPS radio occultations using simulations as well as recent data from CHAMP and SAC-C. It is found that BP gives improved retrievals over the standard Doppler technique, even when multipath ambiguities are not completely removed. In addition, by being an amplitude-weighted algorithm, BP is robust in the presence of receiv...
