摘要
我们开发了一种新技术，利用水下 neutrino 望远镜提供的大规模数据集来获取深海生物发光的信息。望远镜的被动性质使我们能够在无需主动干扰生物发光生物的情况下推断其相关信息。我们提出了一种统计方法，可重建单个生物体的光发射及其位置与运动。我们建立了一个数学模型来描述水下 neutrino 望远镜的测量过程以及生物有机体的信号生成。采用度量高斯变分推断（Metric Gaussian Variational Inference）算法，利用 neutrino 探测器记录的光子计数重建模型参数。我们将该方法应用于合成数据集与 ANTARES neutrino 望远镜收集的数据。该望远镜位于距法国海岸 40 km 处，固定于 2475 m 深的海底。对合成数据的运行表明，我们可可靠地模拟生物体发射的生物发光闪光。此外，我们发现光源定位的空间分辨率高度依赖于望远镜的构型。探测器效率与海水衰减长度的精确测量对于重建光发射至关重要。最后，对 ANTARES 数据的应用揭示了利用 neutrino 望远镜数据对生物发光生物的首个精确定位。
