    Nowadays, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is rapidly developed. It also trigs the development of other research field such as social science research. But in the development of it, there are a continues problem that has been discovered over 30 years, noise. Over the years, many ways have been created for example Savitzky – Golay (SG) and Low Pass (LP) Butterworth filter. In order to use SG filter, two parameters which are the order and the window length should be determined by trial and error. On the other hand, LP Butterworth filter also needs two parameters to be operated which are the order and the cut off frequency. This research focuses on comparing the performance of third order LP Butterworth filter and third order SG filter by finding the gap between filtered signal and the original signal through the simulation by using MATLAB. This research is supported by the journals and books references. Also, the data of this research is presented by the table and graph. According to this research, founded that both filters have a significant impact to smoothing the noisy signal. compare to LP Butterworth filter, SG filter has better performance. It is proven by SG filter only has 5% gap to the original signal where LP Butterworth filter has a slightly bigger gap, 8.82%

    Adaptive Optics projects at Subaru Telescope span a wide field of capabilities ranging from ground-layer adaptive optics (GLAO) providing partial correction over a 20 arcmin FOV to extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) for exoplanet imaging. We describe in this paper current and upcoming narrow field-of-view capabilities provided by the Subaru Extreme Adaptive Optics Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) system and its instrument modules, as well as the upcoming 3000-actuator upgrade of the Nasmyth AO system.Comment: 11 pages, to appear in SPIE Proceedings of Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 202

    A Visible-light Lyot Coronagraph for SCExAO/VAMPIRES

    Full text link
    We describe the design and initial results from a visible-light Lyot coronagraph for SCExAO/VAMPIRES. The coronagraph is comprised of four hard-edged, partially transmissive focal plane masks with inner working angles of 36 mas, 55 mas, 92 mas, and 129 mas, respectively. The Lyot stop is a reflective, undersized design with a geometric throughput of 65.7%. Our preliminary on-sky contrast is 1e-2 at 0.1" to 1e-4 at 0.75" for all mask sizes. The coronagraph was deployed in early 2022 and is available for open use.Comment: Proceedings of SPIE 2022 Astronomical Instrumentation and Telescopes conference (#12184-163

    High Contrast Imaging at the Photon Noise Limit with WFS-based PSF Calibration

    Full text link
    Speckle Noise is the dominant source of error in high contrast imaging with adaptive optics system. We discuss the potential for wavefront sensing telemetry to calibrate speckle noise with sufficient precision and accuracy so that it can be removed in post-processing of science images acquired by high contrast imaging instruments. In such a self-calibrating system, exoplanet detection would be limited by photon noise and be significantly more robust and efficient than in current systems. We show initial laboratory and on-sky tests, demonstrating over short timescale that residual speckle noise is indeed calibrated to an accuracy exceeding readout and photon noise in the high contrast region. We discuss immplications for the design of space and ground high-contrast imaging systems.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, To appear in SPIE Proceedings of Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2022. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2109.1395

    Focal plane wavefront sensing on SUBARU/SCExAO

    Get PDF
    Focal plane wavefront sensing is an elegant solution for wavefront sensing since near-focal images of any source taken by a detector show distortions in the presence of aberrations. Non-Common Path Aberrations and the Low Wind Effect both have the ability to limit the achievable contrast of the finest coronagraphs coupled with the best extreme adaptive optics systems. To correct for these aberrations, the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics instrument hosts many focal plane wavefront sensors using detectors as close to the science detector as possible. We present seven of them and compare their implementation and efficiency on SCExAO. This work will be critical for wavefront sensing on next generation of extremely large telescopes that might present similar limitations

    Images of Embedded Jovian Planet Formation At A Wide Separation Around AB Aurigae

    Get PDF
    Direct images of protoplanets embedded in disks around infant stars provide the key to understanding the formation of gas giant planets like Jupiter. Using the Subaru Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope, we find evidence for a jovian protoplanet around AB Aurigae orbiting at a wide projected separation (93 au), likely responsible for multiple planet-induced features in the disk. Its emission is reproducible as reprocessed radiation from an embedded protoplanet. We also identify two structures located at 430-580 au that are candidate sites of planet formation. These data reveal planet formation in the embedded phase and a protoplanet discovery at wide, > 50 au separations characteristic of most imaged exoplanets. With at least one clump-like protoplanet and multiple spiral arms, the AB Aur system may also provide the evidence for a long-considered alternative to the canonical model for Jupiter's formation: disk (gravitational) instability.Comment: Author's personal version: 19 pages, 5 Figures, 1 Table; 32 Supplementary pages, 18 Supplementary Figures, 1 Supplementary Table; Accepted for Publication in Nature Astronomy.

    Direct Imaging Discovery and Dynamical Mass of a Substellar Companion Orbiting an Accelerating Hyades Sun-like Star with SCExAO/CHARIS

    Full text link
    We present the direct-imaging discovery of a substellar companion in orbit around a Sun-like star member of the Hyades open cluster. So far, no other substellar companions have been unambiguously confirmed via direct imaging around main-sequence stars in Hyades. The star HIP 21152 is an accelerating star as identified by the astrometry from the Gaia and Hipparcos satellites. We have detected the companion, HIP 21152 B, in multi-epoch using the high-contrast imaging from SCExAO/CHARIS and Keck/NIRC2. We have also obtained the stellar radial-velocity data from the Okayama 188cm telescope. The CHARIS spectroscopy reveals that HIP 21152 B's spectrum is consistent with the L/T transition, best fit by an early T dwarf. Our orbit modeling determines the semi-major axis and the dynamical mass of HIP 21152 B to be 17.5−3.8+7.2^{+7.2}_{-3.8} au and 27.8−5.4+8.4^{+8.4}_{-5.4} MJupM_{\rm{Jup}}, respectively. The mass ratio of HIP 21152 B relative to its host is ≈\approx2\%, near the planet/brown dwarf boundary suggested from recent surveys. Mass estimates inferred from luminosity evolution models are slightly higher (33--42 MJupM_{\rm{Jup}}). With a dynamical mass and a well-constrained age due to the system's Hyades membership, HIP 21152 B will become a critical benchmark in understanding the formation, evolution, and atmosphere of a substellar object as a function of mass and age. Our discovery is yet another key proof-of-concept for using precision astrometry to select direct imaging targets.Comment: 21 pages (11 pages in main body), 8 figures (4 figures in main body).

    Chimpanzee accumulative stone throwing

    Get PDF
    The study of the archaeological remains of fossil hominins must rely on reconstructions to elucidate the behaviour that may have resulted in particular stone tools and their accumulation. Comparatively, stone tool use among living primates has illuminated behaviours that are also amenable to archaeological examination, permitting direct observations of the behaviour leading to artefacts and their assemblages to be incorporated. Here, we describe newly discovered stone tool-use behaviour and stone accumulation sites in wild chimpanzees reminiscent of human cairns. In addition to data from 17 mid- to long-term chimpanzee research sites, we sampled a further 34 Pan troglodytes communities. We found four populations in West Africa where chimpanzees habitually bang and throw rocks against trees, or toss them into tree cavities, resulting in conspicuous stone accumulations at these sites. This represents the first record of repeated observations of individual chimpanzees exhibiting stone tool use for a purpose other than extractive foraging at what appear to be targeted trees. The ritualized behavioural display and collection of artefacts at particular locations observed in chimpanzee accumulative stone throwing may have implications for the inferences that can be drawn from archaeological stone assemblages and the origins of ritual sites
