Spectrographs provide measurements of emission line parameters, which are essential for extracting the plasma parameters and understanding the dynamic solar atmosphere. However, spectral observations of multiple spatial dimensions with inherently two-dimensional detectors pose intrinsic limitations on the spatio-temporal extent of the technique. A common observation strategy, based on conventional slit spectrographs, is to use a narrow field-of-view and a time-consuming rastering process, hence limiting the spectroscopic analysis of dynamic events. An alternative strategy is to use a slot spectrograph by widening the slit; however the dispersion within the wide slot image is the bottleneck. Recently the concept of multi-order slitless spectroscopy has been developed to address these limitations. Based on a parametric model for the formation of dispersed images, we study the problem of estimating emission line parameters from the slitless spectrometer measurements. This inverse problem can be viewed as a multiframe deblurring problem with shift-variant blur, where multiple blurred images of the same object are obtained through multiple spectrometer measurements, each with a different diffraction order. We approach the solution of this problem based on an iterative parametric inversion technique with regularization. The new deblurring method provides significantly more accurate intensity, Doppler shift, and line widths over a large spatial region on the Sun. We also perform sensitivity analysis using the Cramer-Rao framework, which yields insights about instrument optimization. The development of optimized multi-order slitless spectrographs and reliable inversion algorithms will yield reconstruction of spectral line parameters at every pixel over the large FOV, and faciliate the understanding of highly dynamic solar events such as flares, CMEs, and transient brightening.

Ultra-fast charge exchange spectroscopy for turbulent ion temperature fluctuation measurements on the DIII-D tokamak (invited) Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; McKee, G. R. (2012-10-01) A novel two-channel, high throughput, high efficiency spectrometer system has been developed to measure impurity ion temperature and toroidal velocity fluctuations associated with long-wavelength turbulence and other plasma instabilities. The spectrometer observes the emission of the n = 8-7 hydrogenic transition of C+5 ions (lambda(air) = 529.06 nm) resulting from charge exchange reactions between deuterium heating beams and intrinsic carbon. Novel features include a large, prism-coupled high-dispersion, v...
Multiscale Modeling of Thin-Wire Coupling Problems Using Hybridization of Finite Element and Dipole Moment Methods and GPU Acceleration ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2020-01-01) In this article, a hybrid numerical method, called finite element method (FEM) + dipole moment (DM), is presented for efficient solution of multiscale electromagnetic radiation and scattering problems that involve structures with fine features, such as thin-wire antennas or objects. In this method, the FEM is hybridized with the DM approach to help ease certain computational burdens, such as mesh refinement, ill-conditioning, memory overload, and long computation times, when solving multiscale problems with...
Singularly perturbed diffusion-advection-reaction processes on extremely large three-dimensional curvilinear networks with a periodic microstructure -- efficient solution strategies based on homogenization theory Kropat, Erik; Meyer-Nieberg, Silja; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2016-8) Boundary value problems on large periodic networks arise in many applications such as soil mechanics in geophysics or the analysis of photonic crystals in nanotechnology. As a model example, singularly perturbed elliptic differential equations of second order are addressed. Typically, the length of periodicity is very small compared to the size of the covered region. The overall complexity of the networks raises serious problems on the computational side. The high density of the graph, the huge number of ed...
Multi-target tracking using passive doppler measurements Guldogan, Mehmet B.; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2013-04-26) In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter in tracking multiple non-cooperative targets using Doppler-only measurements in a passive sensor network. Clutter, missed detections and multi-static Doppler variances are incorporated into a realistic multi-target scenario. Simulation results show that the GM-PHD filter successfully tracks multiple targets using only Doppler shift measurements in a passive multi-static scenario.
Numerical method for conform reflection Kushnarov, Andriy; Öktem, Hakan; Department of Scientific Computing (2010) Conformal map has application in a lot of areas of science, e.g., fluid flow, heat conduction, solidification, electromagnetic, etc. Especially conformal map applied to elasticity theory can provide most simple and useful solution. But finding of conformal map for custom domain is not trivial problem. We used a numerical method for building a conformal map to solve torsion problem. In addition it was considered an infinite system method to solve the same problem. Results are compared.
