A GPU accelerated Barnes-Hut Tree Code for FLASH4

We present a GPU accelerated CUDA-C implementation of the Barnes Hut (BH) tree code for calculating the gravita- tional potential on octree adaptive meshes. The tree code algorithm is implemented...

Hybrid method to resolve the neutrino mass hierarchy by supernova...

We introduce a hybrid method to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy by simultaneous measurements of responses of at least two detectors to antineutrino and neutrino fluxes from accretion and cooling...

Gravitational waves from binary supermassive black holes missing in pulsar...

Gravitational waves are expected to be radiated by supermassive black hole binaries formed during galaxy mergers. A stochastic superposition of gravitational waves from all such binary systems will...

Light propagation in the gravitational field of N arbitrarily moving bodies...

The light-trajectory in the gravitational field of N extended bodies in arbitrary motion is determined in the first post-Newtonian approximation. According to the theory of reference systems, the...

IVOA recommendation: Units in the VO

This document describes a recommended syntax for writing the string representation of unit labels ("VOUnits"). In addition, it describes a set of recognised and deprecated units, which is as far as...

How much can Galactic aberration impact the link between radio (ICRF) and...

The highly-accurate optical reference frame GCRF (Gaia Celestial Reference Frame) is expected to be available in several years. By the same time, a new version of radio reference frame ICRF...

The GMRT High Resolution Southern Sky Survey for pulsars and transients -I....

We are conducting a survey for pulsars and transients using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The GMRT High Resolution Southern Sky (GHRSS) survey is an off-Galactic-plane (|b|>5) survey...

Bayesian inference on the sphere beyond statistical isotropy

We present a general method for Bayesian inference of the underlying covariance structure of random fields on a sphere. We employ the Bipolar Spherical Harmonic (BipoSH) representation of general...

Computational Intelligence Challenges and Applications on Large-Scale...

Time-domain astronomy (TDA) is facing a paradigm shift caused by the exponential growth of the sample size, data complexity and data generation rates of new astronomical sky surveys. For example, the...

High Energy Vision: Processing X-rays

Astronomy is by nature a visual science. The high quality imagery produced by the world's observatories can be a key to effectively engaging with the public and helping to inspire the next generation...

The first demonstration of the concept of "narrow-FOV Si/CdTe semiconductor...

The Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD), to be deployed onboard the {\it ASTRO-H} satellite, has been developed to provide the highest sensitivity observations of celestial sources in the energy band of...

Tensor calculus in polar coordinates using Jacobi polynomials [Cross-Listing]

Spectral methods are an efficient way to solve partial differential equations on domains possessing certain symmetries. The utility of a method depends strongly on the choice of spectral basis. In this...

Surveying the TeV sky with HAWC

The High altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory has been completed and began full operation in early 2015. Located at an elevation of 4,100 m near the Sierra Negra volcano in the state of Puebla,...

A practical method for the analysis of meteor spectra

The analysis of meteor spectra (photographic, CCD or video recording) is complicated by the fact that spectra obtained with objective gratings are curved and have a nonlinear dispersion. In this paper...

VLBI for Gravity Probe B: The Guide Star IM Pegasi

We review the radio very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the guide star, IM Peg, and three compact extragalactic reference sources, 3C 454.3, B2250+194, and B2252+172, made in...

Profile Stochasticity in PSR J1909-3744

We extend the recently introduced Bayesian framework `Generative Pulsar Timing Analysis' to incorporate both pulse jitter (high frequency variation in the arrival time of the pulse) and epoch to epoch...

The Difference Imaging Pipeline for the Transient Search in the Dark Energy...

We describe the difference imaging pipeline (DiffImg) used to detect transients in deep images from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova program (DES-SN) in its first observing season from Aug 2013 through...
