| Abstract from DBPedia | Aperture synthesis or synthesis imaging is a type of interferometry that mixes signals from a collection of telescopes to produce images having the same angular resolution as an instrument the size of the entire collection. At each separation and orientation, the lobe-pattern of the interferometer produces an output which is one component of the Fourier transform of the spatial distribution of the brightness of the observed object. The image (or "map") of the source is produced from these measurements. Astronomical interferometers are commonly used for high-resolution optical, infrared, submillimetre and radio astronomy observations. For example, the Event Horizon Telescope project derived the first image of a black hole using aperture synthesis.開口合成（かいこうごうせい、英語：aperture synthesis）とは、複数の受信機を利用して、高分解能な情報を取得するための技術である。開口とは、電磁波を受信する素子、すなわち受信機を意味する言葉であり、複数の受信機を1つの大きな受信機に合成したような効果が得られるため、このように呼ぶ。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Aperture_synthesis) |
