Imaging the Albedo with Pixon
The following show Pixon images for simulated data of a point source with albedo. Each image shows the contours for the Pixon reconstruction overlaid on the a map of the original data. Below each image are the profiles for the data and the fit showing the C statistic for each detector. For each image the following parameters were used: Time: 2-September-2002 00:07:36 - 00:08:20 Detectors: All Detectors Image Size: 64 X 64 Pixel Size: .5 X .5
Above each image is the total counts in the final image. Below each image is the source size data as calculated using the 3 sigma source size program written by Rick Pernak.
Reconstructed Pixon Images for a point source with albedo located at heliocentric X = 301 arcsec and Y = 0.0
The total counts in the final image below is: ~10e4 counts
The 3 sigma parameters for the reconstructed image assuming an elliptical source are:
