Blade Runner -What kind objects are there in the JVO ALMA Archive?-
The JVO ALMA Archive provides users one of the easiest ways to access the ALMA archival data. The users can have a quick look at a 3 or 4-dimensional data cube without downloading multiple huge...
View ArticleMeasuring High-Precision Astrometry with the Infrared Array Camera on the...
The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope currently offers the greatest potential for high-precision astrometry of faint mid-IR sources across arcminute-scale fields, which would...
View ArticleDetection of Earth-skimming UHE tau neutrino with the JEM-EUSO detector...
The ultra high energy cosmic neutrinos are powerful astrophysical probes for both astrophysical mechanisms of particle acceleration and fundamental interactions. They open a window into the very...
View ArticleExperimental study of surface erosion processes of the icy moons of Jupiter...
We use an existing laboratory facility for space hardware calibration in vacuum to study the impact of energetic ions on water ice. The experiment is intended to simulate the conditions on the surface...
View ArticleBayesian Evidence and Model Selection [Replacement]
In this paper we review the concepts of Bayesian evidence and Bayes factors, also known as log odds ratios, and their application to model selection. The theory is presented along with a discussion of...
View ArticlePulsar Acceleration Searches on the GPU for the Square Kilometre Array
Pulsar acceleration searches are methods for recovering signals from radio telescopes, that may otherwise be lost due to the effect of orbital acceleration in binary systems. The vast amount of data...
View ArticleAstronomical Surveys and Big Data
Recent all-sky and large-area astronomical surveys and their catalogued data over the whole range of electromagnetic spectrum are reviewed, from Gamma-ray to radio, such as Fermi-GLAST and INTEGRAL in...
View ArticleExtending the Li&Ma method to include PSF information
The so called Li&Ma formula is still the most frequently used method for estimating the significance of observations carried out by Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. In this work a...
View ArticleDebris Engine: A Potential Thruster for Space Debris Removal
We present a design concept for a space engine that can continuously remove the orbit debris by using the debris as a propellant. Space robotic cleaner is adopted to capture the targeting debris and to...
View ArticleStellar atmosphere interpolator for empirical and synthetic spectra
We present a new stellar atmosphere interpolator which we will use to compute stellar population models based on empirical and/or synthetic spectra. We combined observed and synthetic stellar spectra...
View ArticleApproximating W projection as a separable kernel
W projection is a commonly-used approach to allow interferometric imaging to be accelerated by Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs), but it can require a huge amount of storage for convolution kernels. The...
View ArticleInvestigating Cepheid $\ell$ Carinae’s Cycle-to-cycle Variations via...
Baade-Wesselink-type (BW) techniques enable geometric distance measurements of Cepheid variable stars in the Galaxy and the Magellanic clouds. The leading uncertainties involved concern projection...

For an unattended telescopes in Antarctic, the remote operation, autonomous observation and control are essential. An EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) and RTS2(Remote...
View ArticleThe LSST Data Processing Software Stack: Summer 2015 Release
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is an 8-m optical ground-based telescope being constructed on Cerro Pachon in Chile. LSST will survey half the sky every few nights in six optical bands. The...
View ArticleThe 1st Fermi Lat Supernova Remnant Catalog
To uniformly determine the properties of supernova remnants (SNRs) at high energies, we have developed the first systematic survey at energies from 1 to 100 GeV using data from the Fermi Large Area...

The Pierre Auger Observatory, located on a vast, high plain in western Argentina, is the world's largest cosmic ray observatory. The objectives of the Observatory are to probe the origin and...
View ArticlePlanetary Candidates from the First Year of the K2 Mission
The Kepler Space Telescope is currently searching for planets transiting stars along the ecliptic plane as part of its extended K2 mission. We processed the publicly released data from the first year...
View ArticleAttenuation measurements of vacuum ultraviolet light in liquid argon...
The attenuation of vacuum ultraviolet light in liquid argon in the context of its application in large liquid noble gas detectors has been studied. Compared to a previous publication several technical...
View ArticleAttenuation of vacuum ultraviolet light in pure and xenon-doped liquid argon...
Results of transmission experiments of vacuum ultraviolet light through a 11.6 cm long cell filled with pure and xenon-doped liquid argon are described. Pure liquid argon shows no attenuation down to...
