Algorithm for Removing Fauna Corrupted Data Pairs During BASS Data Reductions

摘要

The purpose of this report is to document a procedure for selecting data pairs for analysis from Broadband Array Spectrograph System (BASS) data. BASS data are sometimes contaminated by aircraft or fauna entering the telescope beam during observations, obscuring the spectral signature of the object being measured. This procedure provides a mathematical method for identifying data pairs for exclusion from the subsequent analysis that may have been corrupted.
