介绍了一种全新的基于小波分析原理的处理非等间隔数据的方法:加权小波z变换(WeightedWaveletZ—transform,WWZ).收集了类星体3C345光学B波段100多年来较为完整的观测数据,获得了其长期光变曲线.利用wwz变换对3C345B波段28yr的光变数据进行分析,通过研究发现3C345的光变曲线中包含有624~941d、4.54-5.23yr和9.59-11.51yr的周期成分,并分析了它们随时间演化的情况.其中后两个周期成分属于稳定周期,而前一个周期成分波动比较大,可以推测它并不是一个稳定周期.
A new method to analyze unevenly spaced data is described, which is based on the principle of wavelet analysis called the Weighted Wavelet Z-transform (WWZ). All available optical B-band data of quasar 3C 345 from more than 100 years are collected in this paper, and the long-term light curves of 3C 345 are presented. With the WWZ method, the data between the years of 1965 to 1992 are analyzed. The results show that there are 3 periodic components in the data. Based on our analysis, the periodicity of T=4.54~5.23 yr and T=9.59~11.51 yr is steady, while T=624-941 d is not a steady period.
