Statistical data analysis for gamma-ray astronomy

Experimental Astronomy, 1990
Significance testing, parameter estimation and sensitivity calculations for γ-ray telescopes are discussed for single ‘on-off” astronomical observations. Four widely used significance test methods are examined by Monte-Carlo simulations. The Maximum Likelihood Ratio Method is found to consistently over-estimate the significance of an observation by a ...

Efficient Attribute-Based Data Access in Astronomy Analysis

2012 SC Companion: High Performance Computing, Networking Storage and Analysis, 2012
Large experiments and high-performance computer models generate many petabytes of data. While Cloud Computing systems may meet the needs for analyzing these petabytes by harnessing the computing power of many distributed computers, the key challenge in effectively utilizing such a distributed system is the data management process, including storage ...

Data analysis techniques for UHE acoustic astronomy

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2009
Abstract Using acoustic techniques, it is hoped that a new type of telescope can be developed to search for ultra high energy (UHE) ( > 10 20 eV ) neutrinos. Using an eight hydrophone array, ACoRNE is investigating the practicality of such an acoustic telescope.

Data Analysis in Astronomy II

1986
In the book are reported the main results presented at the Third International Workshop on Data Analysis in Astronomy, held at the EUore Majorana Center for Scientific Culture, Erice, Sicily, Italy, on June 20-27,1988. The Workshop was the natural evolution of the two previous ones.

Stochastic data in astronomy: Fourier analysis of highly nonuniform time series

Astrophysics, 2005
The features of the CLEAN algorithm for Fourier analysis of time series with data separated by long pauses are analyzed in detail. Estimates are obtained for the limits of variability of the parameters of harmonic components that can be determined on a specified time grid.

Hypercube data analysis in astronomy: optical interferometry and millisecond pulsar searches

Proceedings of the third conference on Hypercube concurrent computers and applications -, 1988
Astronomical data sets are beginning to live up to their name, in both their sizes and the complexity of the analysis required. Here we discuss two astronomical data analysis problems which we have begun to implement on a hypercube concurrent processor environment: The intensive image processing required in an optical interferometry project, and the ...
