Multifrequency, Multiresolution Image Detection
|

|
| The
next decade will mark the start of a new era in multi-frequency
astronomy. New surveys and satellites are coming on line that will open
up the full electromagnetic spectra at higher precision and to fainter
flux levels than ever before (from X-rays through to the submillimeter
and radio). Together these multi-frequency surveys will provide a
bolometric view of the Universe from which we might fully reconstruct
the properties of Galactic and extra-galactic sources. Studying these
data sets in isolation will provide some insight into the processes
that drive the evolution of our Universe. It is only, however, if we
analyze the multi-frequency data in unison that we might fully exploit
their scientific potential. We have, therefore, developed a new and
novel technique for combining multi-frequency data that provides
objective source detection. We propose here to develop these algorithms
into a suite of software tools that will enable the astronomical
community to explore multi-frequency, multi-resolution data in an
optimal fashion. |
