Zeroing data definition

Zeroing data means: to assign a value of zero magnitude within gaps in a baseline of observations. To zero data is to assume that during a time span when no data were obtained, the object emitted zero energy. This assumption is patently incorrect, and the power spectrum of a zeroed light curve will misrepresent the object’s behavior. There exist analysis algorithms that require evenly-spaced data as input and thus force the user to zero gaps between observing windows. One great advantage of the technique employed in this dissertation – the Lomb-Scargle technique (§2.5.3) – is its facility in handling data that are unevenly-spaced in time.
