Optimality of the Maximum Likelihood estimator in Astrometry
Sebastian Espinosa, Jorge F. Silva, Rene A. Mendez +2
The problem of astrometry is revisited from the perspective of analyzing the attainability of well-known performance limits (the Cramer-Rao bound) for the estimation of the relativ…
Performance analysis of the Least-Squares estimator in Astrometry
Rodrigo A. Lobos, Jorge F. Silva, Rene A. Mendez +1
We characterize the performance of the widely-used least-squares estimator in astrometry in terms of a comparison with the Cramer-Rao lower variance bound. In this inference contex…
Analysis of the Cramer-Rao lower uncertainty bound in the joint estimation of astrometry and photometry
Rene A. Mendez, Jorge F. Silva, Rodrigo Orsotica +1
In this paper we use the Cramer-Rao lower uncertainty bound to estimate the maximum precision that could be achieved on the joint simultaneous (or 2D) estimation of photometry and…
Analysis and interpretation of the Cramer-Rao lower-bound in astrometry: One dimensional case
Rene Mendez, Jorge Silva, Rodrigo Lobos
In this paper we explore the maximum precision attainable in the location of a point source imaged by a pixel array detector in the presence of a background, as a function of the d…
