Point spread function subtraction in integral field spectroscopy

Salinas Poblete, Vachail Nicolás January 2013 (has links)
Magíster en Ciencias, Mención Astronomía / Direct Imaging of circumstellar material and forming exoplanets around young stellar objects (YSO's) is a challenging task. Several techniques have been developed for this purpose, among them we focused on the spectral deconvolution technique(SD). Our goal is to create an algorithm that improves the current state of the art of the SD technique, using principal component analysis (PCA) to create an orthogonal basis set in annular regions centred on the star. A selection criterion for the wavelength channels used to estimate the basis set, ensures that the model PSF is minimally contaminated by a possible faint companion. We test our algorithm using SINFONI data of HD 142527, HD 100546 and T Cha, obtaining a high-resolution image of the surrounding disks in the H+K band. l-SDI gets roughly twice the amount of throughput of its non-localized version. Using l-SDI we give new upper limit detection curves on the selected sources, we confirm the structure of HD 142527 in the literature and report a new spiral-arm structure in the outer disk.
