Modelling of Infrared emission from Cyg X-3 and the UKIRT IRCAM3 point spread function
نویسنده
چکیده
Modelling of the point spread function of the UKIRT IRCAM3 array was conducted in order to test for any extended emission around the X-ray binary Cyg X-3. We found that the point spread function cannot be represented by a simple Gaussian, but modelling of the stars required additional functions, namely Lorentzian and exponential components. After modelling for the PSF, we found that Cyg X-3 could be represented by two stellar-type profiles, 0.56 apart.

Evaluation of the Effect of Tumor Position on Standardized Uptake Value Using Time-of-Flight Reconstruction and Point Spread Function
Objective(s): The present study was conducted to examine whether the standardized uptake value (SUV) may be affected by the spatial position of a lesion in the radial direction on positron emission tomography (PET) images, obtained via two methods based on time-of-flight (TOF) reconstruction and point spread function (PSF). Methods: A cylinder phantom with the sphere (30mm diameter), located in...

We present results of our study of correlated radio and X-ray emission in two black hole candidates and Galactic microquasars GRS 1915+105 and Cyg X-1 in their steady long term hard states, along with Cyg X-3 (using data obtained from Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer all-sky monitor [RXTE-ASM], Compton Gamma Ray Observatory Burst and Transient Source Experiment [CGRO-BATSE], and Green Bank Interefer...
متن کاملInfrared spectroscopic variability of Cygnus X - 3 in outburst and quiescence
We present four epochs of high-resolution infrared spectroscopy of the peculiar Xray binary Cygnus X-3. The observations cover quiescent, small flaring and outburst states of the system as defined by radio and X-ray monitoring. The underlying infrared spectrum of the source, as observed during radio and X-ray quiescence and small flaring states, is one of broad, weak He ii and N v emission. Spe...

We present 5-35 µm spectra, taken with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope, of five FU Orionis objects: FU Ori, V1515 Cyg, V1057 Cyg, BBW 76, and V346 Nor. All but V346 Nor reveal amorphous silicate grains in emission at 10 µm and 20 µm, and show water-vapor absorption bands at 5.8 and 6.8 µm and SiO or possibly methane absorption at 8 µm. These absorption features cl...

We present a multiwavelength study of the massive star forming region associated with IRAS 06055+2039 which reveals an interesting scenario of this complex where regions are at different stages of evolution of star formation. Narrow band near-infrared (NIR) observations were carried out with UKIRT-UFTI in molecular hydrogen and Brγ lines to trace the shocked and ionized gases respectively. We h...
