AOTA Asteroidal Occultation Time Analyser

AOTA is in Occult

and looks like: 3

Aim Create an alternative tool to analyse asteroidal occultation light curves Focus on measuring the D and R events independently Handle Limovie & Tangra files Handle output from integrating cameras Clear presentation of what is ‘going on’ User friendliness & simplicity – as much as possible! 4

Basic methodology Integrity check, for timing inconsistencies Putative events identified using cross-correlation analysis D and R events analysed by fitting a test light curve of varying transition duration, using a χ 2 best fit analysis Uncertainties determined using a Monte Carlo analysis, with noise applied to the test light curve Apply camera-based corrections to the times 5

If no time stamps, set manually 6

If start and end time stamps, can fill with calculated rate. But treat with care 7

Integrity Check Highly desirable to have OCR reading of time stamp Looks for irregularities in time stamp sequence, and for identity in sequential measurements For integrating cameras, checks that the recorded #frames in each integration interval is constant 8

Example video with duplicated frames 9

Can check for systematic problems with a Fourier Analysis plot Bad Good 10

Set integration/binning/normalisation 11 When using an integrating camera, you should match the binning to the integration

Event identification Test signal extends for the entire recording duration Sets a minimum cross-correlation level for a possible event Look for symmetric triangle, straight sides, sharp apex, peak above orange region at bottom, and light curve flat across the bottom. 12

Symmetric triangle with straight sides, sharp apex, flat light curve at bottom (see 5 orange bars) 13

Cloud event – asymmetric, non-straight sides, no sharp apex, light curve at bottom not flat (see orange bars) 14

Can overlay comparison stars Note how the green line drops at the same time as the cloud event, but not for the occultation 15

Can identify up to 5 putative events Each event can be separately analysed 16

Final plot showing fitted light curve and uncertainties 17

Some events have two discrete possibilities Dunham-Agamemnon 18

Accuracy visible via χ 2 curves Well-defined event Poorly-defined event Small uncertainty on the ‘-’ side, large on the ‘+’ side 19

True gradual events have a rise and fall in the plot of χ 2 20

Disregard anomalous points 21

Applies corrections based on camera used 22

Tangra and AOTA linked 23

Can view/save measurement report AOTA analysis of the file D:\Videos\ofOthers\Metis\ Metis_Pierrefontaines.csv - analysed on Wednesday, 26 March 2014 at 3:29 AM UTC - using AOTA v Event #1 Event location in video frame ID's D: /-0.5 R: /-0.5 Event time in UTC D: ± 0.03 R: ± 0.02 Duration of transition in frames D: 0 R: 0 SN at event locations D: 3.0 R: 3.3 ===== Camera details ===== Camera : WAT-910BD Frames integrated : 0 Video system : PAL ==== Measurement info ==== Measurement tool : Limovie Measured at Field level: False # Measurements binned : 1 Normalisation : None Time scale from tool : False ===== end of report ====== 24

Save plots for sending to others 25

OW, Tangra & AOTA integration If AOTA called from Tangra: – measurement results returned to Tangra – Tangra makes them available to OccultWatcher – then when reporting using OccultWatcher, event times are pre-filled Minimises opportunities for error as a result of miss-keying 26

Detailed Help file provided, with step-by-step instructions and guidance on interpretation 27
