A Proposed Search for the Detection of Gravitational Waves from Eccentric...

Most of compact binary systems are expected to circularize before the frequency of emitted gravitational waves (GWs) enters the sensitivity band of the ground based interferometric detectors. However,...

Optimal design of calibration signals in space borne gravitational wave...

Future space borne gravitational wave detectors will require a precise definition of calibration signals to ensure the achievement of their design sensitivity. The careful design of the test signals...

A study on diffuse source detection by HXMT scanning observation [Replacement]

The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) is a collimated scan X-ray satellite mainly devoted to a sensitive all-sky survey and pointed observations in 1-250 keV. We expect various diffuse sources to...

Method for detection and reconstruction of gravitational wave transients with...

We present a method for detection and reconstruction of the gravitational wave (GW) transients with the networks of advanced detectors. Originally designed to search for transients with the initial GW...

Observation of polarised hard X-ray emission from the Crab by the PoGOLite...

We have measured the linear polarisation of hard X-ray emission from the Crab in a previously unexplored energy interval, 20-120 keV. The introduction of two new observational parameters, the...

Automated Detection of Solar Eruptions [Replacement]

Observation of the solar atmosphere reveals a wide range of motions, from small scale jets and spicules to global-scale coronal mass ejections. Identifying and characterizing these motions are...

Scintillation noise in widefield radio interferometry [Replacement]

In this paper, we consider random phase fluctuations imposed during wave propagation through a turbulent plasma (e.g. ionosphere) as a source of additional noise in interferometric visibilities. We...

Relativistic Hydrodynamics with Wavelets

Methods to solve the relativistic hydrodynamic equations are a key computational kernel in a large number of astrophysics simulations and are crucial to understanding the electromagnetic signals that...

Fast-neutron induced background in LaBr3:Ce detectors [Cross-Listing]

The response of a scintillation detector with a cylindrical 1.5-inch LaBr3:Ce crystal to incident neutrons has been measured in the energy range En = 2-12 MeV. Neutrons were produced by proton...

70 years of Sunspot Observations at Kanzelh\"ohe Observatory: systematic...

Kanzelh\"ohe Observatory (KSO) was founded during World War II by the "Deutsche Luftwaffe" (German Airforces) as one station of a network of observatories, which should provide information on solar...

Scintillation noise power spectrum and its impact on high redshift 21-cm...

Visibility scintillation resulting from wave propagation through the turbulent ionosphere can be an important sources of noise at low radio frequencies ($\nu\lesssim 200$ MHz). Many low frequency...

"Asymptotic Parabola" Fits for Smoothing Generally Asymmetric Light Curves

A computer program is introduced, which allows to determine statistically optimal approxi-mation using the "Asymptotic Parabola" fit, or, in other words, the spline consisting of polynomials of order...

Wavelet-Based Techniques for the Gamma-Ray Sky

We demonstrate how the image analysis technique of wavelet decomposition can be applied to the gamma-ray sky to separate emission on different angular scales. New structures on scales that differ from...
