Upcoming Features of SPLAT-VO in Astroinformatics
Šaloun, P.; Andrešič, D.; Škoda, Petr; Zelinka, I.
2013 - English
During last decade was developed fully automatized (robotic) class of telescopes, that produce huge amount of data per each night. Amount of recorded data is usually in the scale of petabytes. To process properly all data and select an important events it is needed to use sophisticated software methods and algorithms. It caused an appearance of a new field of science - astroinformatics. In this paper we introduce a small part of our contribution to the astroinformatics field - a specialized software SPLAT-VO. It is used for processing and visualization of astrophysical data generated by nonlinear, complex or even chaotic processes in the space. Overview of new features so far prepared for new version of SPLAT-VO. The overview is focused on enhancements of user experience, work with SAMP protocol and other interoperability that improves work with global list of spectra, plot window and analysis menu.

Wavelet Based Feature Extraction for Clustering of Be Stars
Bromová, P.; Škoda, Petr; Zendulka, J.
2013 - English
The goal of our work is to create a feature extraction method for classification of Be stars. Be stars are characterized by prominent emission lines in their spectrum. We focus on the automated classification of Be stars based on typical shapes of their emission lines. We aim to design a reduced, specific set of features characterizing and discriminating the shapes of Be lines. In this paper, we present a feature extraction method based on the wavelet transform and its power spectrum. Both the discrete and continuous wavelet transform are used. Different feature vectors are created and compared on clustering of Be stars spectra from the archive of the Astronomical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The clustering is performed using the kmeans algorithm. The results of our method are promising and encouraging to more detailed analysis.

On transfer of mass and angular momentum from accretion disk onto black hole
Hamerský, Jaroslav; Karas, Vladimír
2012 - English
We study the properties of accretion tori orbiting Kerr black hole. Our approach to this problem comes from the solving of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic equations, which follow from conservation of the energy-momentum tensor, the particle number and from Maxwell's equations. We solve these equations by numerical methods. We are interested in tori with constant density of angular momentum and those with radially increasing angular momentum density. We study accretion rates in these tori when the mass of black hole is increased suddenly and so the equilibrium in the torus is perturbed. We also study the influence of the presence of toroidal magnetic field on accretion rates.

New model of precession, valid in time interval 400 thousand years
Vondrák, Jan
2012 - English
New model of precession, expressed in terms of long-periodic trigonometric functions of time is developed, based on numerical integration of motions of the Solar system bodies. Its validity is +/- 200 thousand years from the basic epoch J2000, with the accuracy below one milliarcsecond in the central part and gradually decreasing to a few arcminutes towards both ends of the interval of validity.

Analysis and Suppression of Noise in Astronomical Video
Švihlík, J.; Fliegel, K.; Koten, Pavel; Jerhotova, E.; Vítek, S.; Páta, P.
2011 - English
This paper is devoted to noise suppression in systems for double station observation of meteors, nowadays known as MAIA (Meteor Automatic Imager and Analyzer). The noise analysis based on acquisition of testing video sequences at different lighting conditions and their statistical evaluation were described in our previous paper The measurement showed that the type of noise generated by the system is signal-independent in a certain illumination range. The noise and image models in the wavelet domain are based on the Generalized Laplacian Model (GLM) and it is the most convenient to estimate the model parameters using the moment method. Furthermore, the noise component may be modeled by the GLM also in the space domain. Overall, we verified that the GLM allows for modeling various types of probability density functions. In the final section of this paper, the performance of the proposed advanced de noising algorithm is verified on the real data, which were acquired in the Astronomical Institute.

Kosmologie, čísla a Platonova duše světa
Rajchl, Jaroslav
2011 - Czech
Současná kosmologie se vyznačuje velkým množstvím nejrůznějších modelů. Bližší pohled ukazuje, že všechny oplývají určitým typem dualnosti, a sice propojením dynamické a formativní podoby, jejichž společným zdrojem je známý Velký třesk (BB). Abychom zpřehlednili onen složitý obraz, vybrali jsme jako určitý sjednocující symbol tzv. Platonův model duše světa (PDS), který vychází z Pythagorova postřehu, že analogickou dualností se vyznačují i čísla. The present status of cosmology is characterized by a variety of many different models. Nevertheless, it shows that some type of duality of both dynamical and the structural nature is typical. Its common source is the Big Bang (BB). To reconcile this very rich manifold we use the Plato’s model „of the World Soul”. Its main idea is the Pythagoras’ one of the role of numbers as fundamental elements of all the things in the World.

We present a semi-analytical solution to the problem of finding minimal and maximal energy shifts of radiation originating from an accretion ring near a black hole. The solution is given implicitly in terms of a set of two coupled equations for two unknowns – the constants of photon motion.
