Abstract
We present here a simple and straightforward algorithm to compute trigonometric sums of type:
, for the irregularly spaced time series f (t m ), m = 1,..., M and for the full grid s n , = nδs, n = 0,..., N − 1 of frequencies. The similar approach is known from radio astronomy in the context of synthesis imaging. However, when the so-called “gridding” is method to obtain relatively crude interpolations from unequally spaced two dimensional measurements (see Sramek & Schwab (1988)), here we are seeking for high precision numerical algorithm, applicable even in the context of astrometrical data processing.
