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...
View ArticleA 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...
View ArticleReynolds number scaling of influence of boundary layers on the global...
We present measurements of quasi-Keplerian flows in a Taylor-Couette device that identify the boundary conditions required to generate near-ideal flows that exhibit self-similarity under scaling of the...

We report an in situ measurement of the electric field attenuation length at radio frequencies for the bulk ice at Summit Station, Greenland, made by broadcasting radio-frequency signals vertically...
View ArticleCrowded Cluster Cores: Algorithms for Deblending in Dark Energy Survey Images...
Deep optical images are often crowded with overlapping objects. This is especially true in the cores of galaxy clusters, where images of dozens of galaxies may lie atop one another. Accurate...
View ArticleESA Sky: a new Astronomy Multi-Mission Interface
We present a science-driven discovery portal for all the ESA Astronomy Missions called ESA Sky that allow users to explore the multi-wavelength sky and to seamlessly retrieve science-ready data in all...
View ArticleMOSAIC: a Multi-Object Spectrograph for the E-ELT
The instrumentation plan for the European-Extremely Large Telescope foresees a Multi-Object Spectrograph (E-ELT MOS). The MOSAIC project is proposed by a European-Brazilian consortium, to provide a...
View ArticleBifurcation sequences in the symmetric 1:1 Hamiltonian resonance [Cross-Listing]
We present a general review of the bifurcation sequences of periodic orbits in general position of a family of resonant Hamiltonian normal forms with nearly equal unperturbed frequencies, invariant...
View ArticleDealing with missing data: An inpainting application to the MICROSCOPE space...
Missing data are a common problem in experimental and observational physics. They can be caused by various sources, either an instrument's saturation, or a contamination from an external event, or a...
View ArticleDense magnetized plasma associated with a fast radio burst
Fast Radio Bursts are bright, unresolved, non-repeating, broadband, millisecond flashes, found primarily at high Galactic latitudes, with dispersion measures much larger than expected for a Galactic...

View ArticleThe daily processing of asteroid observations by Gaia [Replacement]
The Gaia mission started its regular observing program in the summer of 2014, and since then it is regularly obtaining observations of asteroids. This paper draws the outline of the data processing for...
View ArticleFirst Results from HAWC on GRBs [Replacement]
In this contribution, the first results of HAWC, searching for VHE gamma-ray emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) reported by $\mathit{Swift}$, are presented. The HAWC gamma-ray observatory is...
View ArticleEvaluation of the neutron background in cryogenic Germanium target for WIMP...
A direct WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particle) detector with a neutron veto system is designed to better reject neutrons. An experimental configuration is studied in the present paper: 984 Ge...
View ArticleHypercalibration: A Pan-STARRS1-based recalibration of the Sloan Digital Sky...
We present a recalibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry with new flat fields and zero points derived from Pan-STARRS1 (PS1). Using PSF photometry of 60 million stars with $16 <...
View ArticleCreating updated, scientifically-calibrated mosaic images for the RC3 catalogue
The Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies (RC3) is a reasonably complete listing of 23,011 nearby, large, bright galaxies. By using the final imaging data release from the Sloan Digital Sky...
View ArticleLooking for phase-space structures in star-forming regions: An MST-based...
We present a method for analysing the phase space of star-forming regions. In particular we are searching for clumpy structures in the 3D subspace formed by two position coordinates and radial...
View ArticleFocusing effect of bent GaAs crystals for gamma-ray Laue lenses: Monte Carlo...
We report on results of observation of the focusing effect from the planes (220) of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) crystals. We have compared the experimental results with the simulations of the focusing...
