Image Reconstruction: Binaries

Scientific paper

Astronomers are gaining new insights into stars as a result of applying medical imaging techniques to their studies. Tomographic algorithms were first applied in the 1950s to analyse radio data from space phenomena. It is from these original algorithms that the computer-aided tomography (CAT) used in medical physics was developed. A technique based on these tomographic restoration methods is now providing new information relating to the physics of stellar systems. Astrophysicists have been using the technique, known as Doppler tomography, to produce images of gas flows in binary star systems. The recent successes of scientists in Scotland have revealed new insights into the gas formations around the stars.
