3 Astronomical Images ν1 Iν (α, δ, ν, t) dν ν0 Usually: - Ignore t - Ignore Q,U,V Hα image from the Local Group Survey (Massey et al. 2008)
4 13 CO Image from COMPLETE Survey (Ridge et al. 2005)
5 Spectral Line Data Cubes (spectral hypercubes) ν0 +δν ν 0 I ν (α, δ, ν, t) dν I ν (α, δ, ν 0,t) δν
6 Other Spectral Data Cubes Optical Spectroscopy (IFUs, sparely sampled spectroscopy via fiber) Geophysics (satellite data e.g., AVIRIS) Materials Physics (electron energy loss spectroscopy) Other cubes are out there: medical imaging, biological and geological studies, engineering (fluids)
7 δν 10 9 ν 0 Focus on radio δν ν
8 Atacama Large Millimeter Array: now! Square Kilometer Array: 2020 (?) (7 Pb/s)
9 We typically resolve spectral lines, so Doppler gives us: c δν ν 0 = v r Thus, position-position-velocity (PPV) cubes
10 Ignore sparse data sets
11 There are many two-dimensional treatments of integrated PPV cubes - Fractals - Wavelets / Delta Variance Some exceptions ψ i (x, y)φ j (v) See Fermi application in Starck s talk
