Infrared data of the galaxy SBS 0335-052 obtained with GEMINI telescope.

 

A residual stripping remains after calibration, and the galaxy is not detected by standard methods because of this calibration problem. We decomposed the data onto three bases (wavelets, ridgelets, and curvelets). Ridgelets and curvelets capture the anisotropic information (mainly calibration artifacts), while the wavelets capture the isotropic information (our galaxy).
