Detection and Discrimination of X-Ray Radiation Sources

Abstract

While studying radiation sources in X-ray range by devices, carried to the near-Earth orbit, there appeares some problems, called by the necessity of uninterrupted scanning of the sky sphere and high speed of canals' test, which leads, consequently, to a considerable volume of data. Side by side with strong sources of radiation one shows great interest to the weak ones which may turn out to be unknown to the science stars. On detecting the source, it is necessary to get a number of parameters, characterizing its structure. Devices of the space station "Saljut 4", carried an enormous deposit into the study of sources in X-ray range. The analyses of results shows, that beside useful signal from X-ray telescopes, a considerable number of superfluous references enters the radioline. Highly effective algorythm of detection and discrimination of useful signals, allowing to raise the informational capability of radioline is represented in the work. Superfluous references, which are stipulated by a galactic background are excluded from the whole data stream. The use of this kind of algorythm allows to discriminate more legible the sources of radiation in on-board and on-Earth use. The effectiveness of this algorythm is shown in adaptation of experimental data, got from X-ray telescopes of the space station "Saljut-4".
