Maximum Entropy Imaging of Comptel Data
نویسنده
چکیده
The Maximum Entropy method is a practical technique for generating intensity skymaps from Compton-telescope data. The application of the method to COMPTEL data for point sources and large-scale emission is described. New developments in the method are illustrated.

Image reconstruction of COMPTEL 1.8 MeV 26Al line data
We present a new algorithm, called Multiresolution Regularized Expectation Maximization (MREM), for the reconstruction of γ-ray intensity maps from COMPTEL data. The algorithm is based on the iterative Richardson-Lucy scheme to which we added a wavelet thresholding step in order to eliminate image-noise in the reconstruction. The wavelet thresholding explicitly accounts for spatial correlations...
متن کاملCOMPTEL skymapping : a new approach using parallel computing
Large-scale skymapping with COMPTEL using the full survey database presents challenging problems on account of the complex response and time-variable background. A new approach which attempts to address some of these problems is described, in which the information about each observation is preserved throughout the analysis. In this method, a maximum-entropy algorithm is used to determine image ...

We use all COMPTEL data from the beginning of the CGROmission (April ’91) up to the end of CGRO Cycle 6 (November ’97) to carry out all-sky point source analyses in the four standard COMPTEL energy bands for different time periods. We apply our standard maximum-likelihood method to generate all-sky significance and flux maps for point sources by subtracting off the diffuse emission components v...
متن کاملCOMPTEL observations of the γ-ray blazars 3C 454.3 and CTA 102 during the CGRO mission
We have investigated the MeV behaviour of the γ-ray blazars 3C 454.3 and CTA 102 by analyzing all COMPTEL observations of this sky region during the complete CGRO mission. Both sources are detected by COMPTEL at the upper COMPTEL energies, although their flux estimates may be uncertain by possible minor contributions of nearby unidentified EGRET γ-ray sources. While CTA 102 was only detected at...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of COMPTEL maximum likelihood-ratio distributions: evidence for a signal from previously undetected AGN
The maximum likelihood-ratio method is frequently used in COMPTEL analysis to determine the signiicance of a point source at a given location. In this paper we do not consider whether the likelihood-ratio at a particular location indicates a detection, but rather whether distributions of likelihood-ratios derived from many locations depart from that expected for source free data. We have constr...
