Supplement: Going the Distance: Mapping Host Galaxies of LIGO and Virgo...

This is an online supplement to https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.07333 . In the main Letter, we demonstrated a rapid algorithm for obtaining joint three-dimensional estimates of sky location and luminosity...

A practical theorem on using interferometry to measure the global 21-cm...

The sky-averaged, or global, background of redshifted $21$ cm radiation is expected to be a rich source of information on cosmological reheating and reionizaton. However, measuring the signal is...

NIR Tully-Fisher in the Zone of Avoidance. — III. Deep NIR catalogue of the...

We present a deep near-infrared (NIR) photometric catalogue of sources from the Parkes HI Zone of Avoidance (HIZOA) survey, which forms the basis for an investigation of the matter distribution in the...

Empirical Green’s Function Approach for Utilizing Millisecond Focal and Pupil...

Millisecond focal plane telemetry is now becoming practical due to a new generation of near-IR detector arrays with sub-electron noise that are capable of kHz readout rates. Combining these data with...

Performance estimates for spectrographs using photonic reformatters

Using a photonic reformatter to eliminate the effects of conventional modal noise could greatly improve the stability of a high resolution spectrograph. However the regimes where this advantage becomes...

Wavelet-based filter methods to detect small transiting planets in stellar...

Strong variations of any kind and causes within a stellar light curve may prohibit the detection of transits, particularly of faint or shallow transits caused by small planets passing in front of the...

Laser-guide-stars used for cophasing broad capture ranges

Segmented primary mirrors are indispensable to master the steady increase in spatial resolution. Phasing optics systems must reduce segment misalignments to guarantee the high optical quality required...

SETI Observations of Exoplanets with the Allen Telescope Array [Replacement]

We report radio SETI observations on a large number of known exoplanets and other nearby star systems using the Allen Telescope Array (ATA). Observations were made over about 19000 hours from May 2009...

AMiBA: Cluster Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect Observations with the Expanded...

The Yuan-Tseh Lee Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy (AMiBA) is a co-planar interferometer array operating at a wavelength of 3mm to measure the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) of galaxy...

Recommended Thermal Rate Coefficients for the C + H$_3^+$ Reaction and Some...

We have incorporated our experimentally derived thermal rate coefficients for C + H$_3^+$ forming CH$^+$ and CH$_2^+$ into a commonly used astrochemical model. We find that the Arrhenius-Kooij equation...

Music from the heavens – Gravitational waves from supermassive black hole...

We estimate the expected event rate of gravitational wave signals from mergers of supermassive black holes that could be resolved by a space-based interferometer, such as the Evolved Laser...

Propagation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays in Extragalactic Magnetic...

We use the CRPropa code to simulate the propagation of ultra high energy cosmic rays (with energy $\geq 10^{18} \rm eV$ and pure proton composition) through extragalactic magnetic fields that have been...

Dispersion by pulsars, magnetars, fast radio bursts and massive...

Our understanding of the universe relies mostly on electromagnetism. As photons are the messengers, fundamental physics is concerned in testing their properties. Photon mass upper limits have been...

Directional detection of Dark Matter with the MIcro-tpc MAtrix of Chambers

Particles weakly interacting with ordinary matter, with an associated mass of the order of an atomic nucleus (WIMPs), are plausible candidates for Dark Matter. The direct detection of an elastic...
