Description:
Experiments with Pixon-based image deconvolution demonstrate that this technique can significantly enhance the spatial resolution of two-dimensional images acquired by the UT multichannel far-infrared photometer. A deconvolved 100 micron image of the giant HII region NGC 3603 reveals a bright, asymmetrical central peak some 40 x 55 arcsec in size, possibly surrounded by several secondary peaks. The results using the pixon technique are compared with those obtained using the standard Maximum Entropy and Richardson-Lucy methods.
