The standard chirplet transform (CT) with a chirp-modulated Gaussian window provides a valuable tool for analyzing linear chirp signals. The parameters present in the window determine the performance of CT and play a very important role in high-resolution time-frequency (TF) analysis. In this paper, we first give the window shape analysis of CT and compare it with the extension that employs a rotating Gaussian window by fractional Fourier transform. The given parameters analysis provides certain theoretical guidance for developing high-resolution CT. We then propose a multi-resolution chirplet transform (MrCT) by combining multiple CTs with different parameter combinations. These are combined geometrically to obtain an improved TF resolution by overcoming the limitations of any single representation of the CT. By deriving the combined instantaneous frequency equation, we further develop a high-concentration TF post-processing approach to improve the readability of the MrCT. Numerical experiments on simulated and real signals verify its effectiveness.

Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) can help to detect significant events and phase transitions of a dynamical system, but choosing a suitable set of parameters is crucial for the success. From recurrence plots different RQA variables can be obtained and analysed. Currently, most of the methods for RQA radius optimisation are focusing on a single RQA variable. In this work we are proposing two new methods for radius optimisation that look for an optimum in the higher dimensional space of the RQA variables, therefore synchronously optimising across several variables. We illustrate our approach using two case studies: a well known Lorenz dynamical system, and a time-series obtained from monitoring energy consumption of a small enterprise. Our case studies show that both methods result in plausible values and can be used to analyse energy data.
Stellar winds govern the angular momentum evolution of solar-like stars throughout their main-sequence lifetime. The efficiency of this process depends on the geometry of the stars magnetic field. There has been a rapid increase recently in the number of stars for which this geometry can be determined through spectropolarimetry. We present a computationally efficient method to determine the 3D geometry of the stellar wind and to estimate the mass loss rate and angular momentum loss rate based on these observations. Using solar magnetograms as examples, we quantify the extent to which the values obtained are affected by the limited spatial resolution of stellar observations. We find that for a typical stellar surface resolution of 20$^{rm o}$-30$^{rm o}$, predicted wind speeds are within 5$%$ of the value at full resolution. Mass loss rates and angular momentum loss rates are within 5-20$%$. In contrast, the predicted X-ray emission measures can be under-estimated by 1-2 orders of magnitude, and their rotational modulations by 10-20$%$.
In this paper we describe Kea a new spectroscopic fitting method to derive stellar parameters from moderate to low signal/noise, high-resolution spectra. We developed this new tool to analyze the massive data set of the Kepler mission reconnaissance spectra that we have obtained at McDonald Observatory. We use Kea to determine effective temperatures (T_eff), metallicity ([Fe/H]), surface gravity (log g) and projected rotational velocity (v sin i). Kea compares the observations to a large library of synthetic spectra that covers a wide range of different T_eff, [Fe/H] and log g values. We calibrated Kea on observations of well-characterized standard stars (the Kepler field platinum sample) which range in T_eff from 5000 to 6500 K, in [Fe/H] from -0.5 to +0.4 dex and in log g from 3.2 to 4.6 dex. We then compared the Kea results from reconnaissance spectra of 45 KOIs (Kepler Object of Interest) to stellar parameters derived from higher signal/noise spectra obtained with Keck/HIRES. We find typical uncertainties of 100 K in T_eff, 0.12 dex in [Fe/H] and 0.18 dex in log g.
Direct determination of fundamental stellar parameters has many profound and wide-ranging impacts throughout astrophysics. These determinations are rooted in high angular resolution observations. In particular, as long-baseline optical interferometry has matured over the past decade, increasingly large survey samples are serving to empirically ground the basic parameters of these building blocks of the universe. True imaging and improved parametric fitting are becoming routinely available, an essential component of fully characterizing stars, stellar environments, and planets these stars may host.
We have observed a common problem of solving for the marginal covariance of parameters introduced in new observations. This problem arises in several situations, including augmenting parameters to a Kalman filter, and computing weight for relative pose constraints. To handle this problem, we derive a solution in a least squares sense. The solution is applied to the above two instance situations and verified by independently reported results.
