THE PARAMETERS INVOLVED IN HAPKE'S MODEL FOR ESTIMATION OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE EJECTA LUNAR TERRAINS. ... In the previous papers we were estimated the surface roughness of the ejecta lunar terrains by means comparison of the local phase function and the average integrated lunar indicatrix. ... The Hapke's theoretical model of the lunar surface reflection. ... For THE PARAMETERS INVOLVED IN HAPKE'S MODEL: S.G. Pugacheva, V.V. Shevchenko a low-albedo lunar surface parameter Bo = 1. ...

Next: Simulations Up: Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Previous: Introduction . The properties of an ensemble of faint galaxies can be defined by the distribution of the parameters of the models that best fit each individual object. ... The model also includes instrumental parameters, such as the sky background (estimated locally) and amplitude of the noise. ... The probability of the observed value is then computed for each pixel using the adopted error distribution. ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

... Abstract: We present Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations for spiral galaxies modelled as a stellar disk and a two-phase clumpy dust distribution. ... As a general result, clumpy models are less opaque than the corresponding homogeneous models. ... 0.00 0.15 0.50 0.1 0.5 1.0 2.0 5.0 10.0 0.25 X . ... We have also produced several homogeneous models, to compare to the clumpy models. ... Homogeneous and clumpy models with the same tauV have the same dust mass. ...

... The sample of the Local Volume galaxies (distance smaller than 10 Mpc) gives a unique opportunity to study the properties of galaxies including the weakest objects: the absolute magnitude M B -10 and the virial mass M vir 10 9 M x263C;. ... Luminosity function of the Local Volume galaxies. ... The luminosity functions for galaxies are presented: red dashed line - from the 2dFGRS survey (Norberg et al. 2002); blue dash-dotted line - from the SDSS survey (Blanton et al. ...

... Paradoxically, signal detection is concerned with fitting models to supposedly random series similarly to mathematical proofs by reductio ad absurdum of the antithesis. ... The quality of the fit is evaluated using a function S of the series , , and . ... A random variable S is characterized by its probability distribution function. ... The special realization of a random series which consists of independent variables of common (gaussian) distribution is called (gaussian) white noise. ...
