time-domain techniques provide average time-lag
more information is contained
opticla analyses gives avg time-lag between driving and repreoccessing light curve
more information in the light curves than just the average time lag
X-ray astornomers have developed technique to get time-lag as a function of freq. or time scales
We want to be the first people to apply this technique to optical curves
standard fourier technique:
astronomers using CC techniques to check corrleation of light curves
using fourier techniques to learn if time-delay is different as a function of time scales/freq.
taking a fourier transform:
each sin and cos has a power and aphse, for each fourier frequency
two light curves, each has a power and phase set, and the phase different as the time-lag
so can figure out the time-lag at each fourier frequency
X-ray data is evenly distributed
optical data is not evenly distributed
- maybe because of weather
certain x-ray telescopes have gappy data because of low-earth orbit
power in the fourier techniques, more information than the cross-correlation curve
