Data driven optimal filtering for phase and frequency of noisy oscillations: application to vortex flowmetering
A new method for extracting the phase of oscillations from noisy time series
is proposed. To obtain the phase, the signal is filtered in such a way that the
filter output has minimal relative variation in the amplitude (MIRVA) over all
filters with complex-valued impulse response. The argument of the filter output
yields the phase. Implementation of the algorithm and interpretation of the
result are discussed. We argue that the phase obtained by the proposed method
has a low susceptibility to measurement noise and a low rate of artificial
phase slips. The method is applied for the detection and classification of mode
locking in vortex flowmeters. A novel measure for the strength of mode locking
is proposed.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figure
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: evidence for radiative heating and contamination in the W40 complex
We present SCUBA-2 450 μm and 850 μm observations of the W40 complex in the Serpens-Aquila region as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey (GBS) of nearby star-forming regions. We investigate radiative heating by constructing temperature maps from the ratio of SCUBA-2 fluxes using a fixed dust opacity spectral index, β = 1.8, and a beam convolution kernel to achieve a common 14.8 arcsec resolution. We identify 82 clumps ranging between 10 and 36 K with a mean temperature of 20 ± 3 K. Clump temperature is strongly correlated with proximity to the external OB association and there is no evidence that the embedded protostars significantly heat the dust. We identify 31 clumps that have cores with densities greater than 105cm-3. 13 of these cores contain embedded Class 0/I protostars. Many cores are associated with bright-rimmed clouds seen in Herschel 70 μm images. From JCMT HARP observations of the 12CO 3-2 line, we find contamination of the 850 μm band of up to 20 per cent. We investigate the free-free contribution to SCUBA-2 bands from large-scale and ultracompact HII regions using archival VLA data and find the contribution is limited to individual stars, accounting for 9 per cent of flux per beam at 450 μm or 12 per cent at 850 μm in these cases. We conclude that radiative heating has potentially influenced the formation of stars in the Dust Arc sub-region, favouring Jeans stable clouds in the warm east and fragmentation in the cool west
