Image Federation
Multispectral Imagery Crab Nebula. 3 channels: radio in red. optical in green, and X-ray in blue. Moffet Field California. 224 channels from 400 nm to 2500 nm
2MASS-SDSS fusion Red at 1.2 um (2MASS J), Green at 0.75 um (SDSS i), Blue at 0.47 um (SDSS g).
Image Federation detection Stacking allows detection of faint sources. A 1-sigma detection in each of many bands becomes a 3- sigma detection. Images of the same galaxy taken several days apart are automatically subtracted from one another, and remaining bright spots may be supernova candidates. (NEAT project) Image subtraction allows detection of narrow-line features that are not also wide-band (eg Hα but not R- band)
Multiwavelength Sky Sociology of EM spectrum “Xray astronomy”, “Radio astronomy” Essentially multiwavelength objects Can only be seen in different bands Quasars discovered by Radio/Optical fusion Gamma ray bursts in Gamma/optical
Time Federation Palomar-Quest survey 50 Gbyte/night to Caltech/Yale Searching for transients –asteroids, plutinos –catalysmic variables –lensing events (MACHO) –cataclysmic galaxies –quasar transients –Deep catalogs –Average sky –Maximum sky –Time correlated sky (deep periodics)
