Rapid classification of specular and diffuse reflection from image velocities
We propose a method for rapidly classifying surface reflectance directly from the output of spatiotemporal filters applied to an image sequence of rotating objects. Using image data from only a single frame, we compute histograms of image velocities and classify these as being generated by a specular or a diffusely reflecting object. Exploiting characteristics of material-specific image velocit...
متن کاملThe dynamical signature of the ISM in soft X-rays I. Diffuse soft X-rays from galaxies
We present the first dynamically and thermally selfconsistent calculations of fast adiabatically expanding gas flows from the Galactic disk into the halo. It is shown that in a hot plasma (T ≥ 106K) with a high overpressure with respect to the ambient medium, the dynamical time scale is much shorter than the intrinsic time scales (e.g. for recombination, collisional excitation and ionization et...
متن کاملSoft X-rays from High-Velocity Clouds
The ROSATmission gave us the unique possibility to study the galactic interstellar medium by “shadowing” observations on arcmin angular resolution level. The high sensitivity of the ROSAT PSPC in combination with the large field of view allows the detailed study of individual clouds, while the ROSAT all-sky survey is the main source for studies of the large-scale intensity distribution of the d...
متن کاملSurface roughness of stainless-steel mirrors for focusing soft x rays.
We have used polished stainless steel as a mirror substrate to provide focusing of soft x rays in grazing-incidence reflection. The critical issue of the quality of the steel surface, polished and coated with gold, is discussed in detail. A comparison is made to a polished, gold-coated, electroless nickel surface, which provides a smoother finish. We used the surface height distributions, measu...
متن کاملDiffuse X-rays from the Arches and Quintuplet Clusters
The origin and initial mass function of young stellar clusters near the Galactic center are still poorly understood. Two of the more prominent ones, the Arches and Quintuplet clusters, may have formed from a shock-induced burst of star formation, given their similar age and proximity to each other. Their unusual mass distribution, however, may be evidence of a contributing role played by other ...
