An Einstein@home search for continuous gravitational waves from Cassiopeia A

We report the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational-wave emission in a broad frequency range (between 50 and 1000 Hz) from the central compact object of the supernova remnant...

astroABC: An Approximate Bayesian Computation Sequential Monte Carlo sampler...

Given the complexity of modern cosmological parameter inference where we are faced with non-Gaussian data and noise, correlated systematics and multi-probe correlated data sets, the Approximate...

Results from a search for dark matter in LUX with 332 live days of exposure...

We report constraints on spin-independent weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)-nucleon scattering using a 3.35e4 kg-day exposure of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment. A dual-phase...

Constraint matrix factorization for space variant PSFs field restoration...

Context: in large-scale spatial surveys, the Point Spread Function (PSF) varies across the instrument field of view (FOV). Local measurements of the PSFs are given by the isolated stars images. Yet,...

Fourier-space combination of Planck and Herschel images [Replacement]

We present a Fourier method to combine 160 $\mu$m to 500 $\mu$m publicly available Herschel data with the Planck foreground thermal dust model. The method eliminates pervasive negative fluxes present...

Measurements of cosmic-ray proton and helium spectra from the BESS-Polar...

The BESS-Polar Collaboration measured the energy spectra of cosmic-ray protons and helium during two long-duration balloon flights over Antarctica in December 2004 and December 2007, at substantially...

VIS: the visible imager for Euclid

Euclid-VIS is the large format visible imager for the ESA Euclid space mission in their Cosmic Vision program, scheduled for launch in 2020. Together with the near infrared imaging within the NISP...

A PSF-based approach to Kepler/K2 data – III. Search for exoplanets and...

In the third paper of this series we continue the exploitation of Kepler/K2 data in dense stellar fields using our PSF-based method. This work is focused on a ~720-arcmin^2 region centred on the...

Improved Performances in Subsonic Flows of an SPH Scheme with Gradients...

In this paper we present results from a series of hydrodynamical tests aimed at validating the performance of a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) formulation in which gradients are derived from an...

The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor

The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is a four telescope array designed to characterize relic primordial gravitational waves from inflation and the optical depth to reionization through a...

Interferometric Measurement of Acceleration at Relativistic Speeds

We show that an interferometer moving at a relativistic speed relative to a point source of light offers a sensitive probe of acceleration. Such an accelerometer contains no moving parts, and is thus...

Long-Term X-ray Variability of Typical Active Galactic Nuclei in the Distant...

We perform long-term ($\approx 15$ yr, observed-frame) X-ray variability analyses of the 68 brightest radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the 6 Ms $Chandra$ Deep Field-South (CDF-S) survey;...
