The Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) is a new powerful radio-telescope, dedicated to the study of the early universe. Its main goal is to characterise the period of the universe where the...
View ArticleSpace Weather impact on the degradation of NOAA POES MEPED proton detectors
The Medium Energy Proton and Electron Detector (MEPED) on board the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (NOAA POES) is known to degrade with time. In...
View ArticleAll NIRspec needs is HST/WFC3 pre-imaging? The use of Milky Way Stars in WFC3...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be an exquisite new near-infrared observatory with imaging and multi-object spectroscopy through ESA's NIRspec instrument with its unique Micro-Shutter Array...
View ArticleTides and angular momentum redistribution inside low-mass stars hosting...
We introduce a general mathematical framework to model the internal transport of angular momentum in a star hosting a close-in planetary/stellar companion. By assuming that the tidal and rotational...
View ArticleA Machine Learning Classifier for Fast Radio Burst Detection at the VLBA
Time domain radio astronomy observing campaigns frequently generate large volumes of data. Our goal is to develop automated methods that can identify events of interest buried within the larger data...
View ArticleSparse aperture masking at the VLT II. Detection limits for the eight debris...
Context. The formation of planetary systems is a common, yet complex mechanism. Numerous stars have been identified to possess a debris disk, a proto-planetary disk or a planetary system. The...
View ArticleInsights from Synthetic Star-forming Regions: II. Verifying Dust Surface...
We use a large data-set of realistic synthetic observations (PaperI) to assess how observational techniques affect the measurement of physical properties of star-forming regions. In this paper...
View ArticleMaximising the detection probability of kilonovae associated with...
Estimates of the source sky location for the first detected gravitational wave signals will likely be poor, typically spanning areas of hundreds of square degrees or more. It will be a great challenge...
View ArticleImproving LSST Photometric Calibration with Gaia Data [Replacement]
We consider the possibility that the Gaia mission can supply data which will improve the photometric calibration of LSST. After outlining the LSST calibra- tion process and the information that will be...
View ArticleHiPERCAM: A high-speed, quintuple-beam CCD camera for the study of rapid...
HiPERCAM is a high-speed camera for the study of rapid variability in the Universe. The project is funded by a 3.5MEuro European Research Council Advanced Grant. HiPERCAM builds on the success of our...
View ArticleAll correlations must die: Assessing the significance of a stochastic...
We present two methods for determining the significance of a stochastic gravitational-wave background affecting a pulsar-timing array, where detection is based on recovering evidence for correlations...
View ArticleFiltering interlopers from galaxy surveys
We present Intercut, a Python-based program that applies secondary line identification and photometric cuts to mock galaxy surveys, in order to simulate interloper identification. This program can be...
View ArticleA novel high-contrast imaging technique based on optical tunneling to search...
We present a novel application of optical tunneling in the context of high-angular resolution, high-contrast techniques with the aim of improving direct imaging capabilities of faint companions in the...
View ArticleSynthetic Star-forming Regions – III. Calibration of Measurement Techniques...
Through an extensive set of realistic synthetic observations (produced in Paper I), we assess in this part of the paper series (Paper III) how the choice of observational techniques affects the...

The EDELWEISS-III direct dark matter search experiment uses cryogenic HP-Ge detectors Fully covered with Inter-Digitized electrodes (FID). They are operated at low fields ($<1\;\mathrm{V/cm}$), and...
View ArticleExploring the spectroscopic diversity of type Ia supernovae with DRACULA: a...
The existence of multiple subclasses of type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) has been the subject of great debate in the last decade. One major challenge inevitably met when trying to infer the existence of one...
View ArticleMaximising the detection probability of kilonovae associated with...
Estimates of the source sky location for gravitational wave signals are likely span areas ranging up to hundreds of square degrees or more, making it very challenging for most telescopes to search for...
View ArticleResults of the deepest all-sky survey for continuous gravitational waves on...
We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the S6 LIGO science run. The search was possible thanks to the computing power...
