A Subluminal Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics Scheme with ADER-WENO...

The relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) set of equations has recently seen increased use in astrophysical computations. Even so, RMHD codes remain fragile. The reconstruction can sometimes yield...

Augmented kludge waveforms and Gaussian process regression for EMRI data...

Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) will be an important type of astrophysical source for future space-based gravitational-wave detectors. There is a trade-off between accuracy and computational speed...

All-sky coherent search for continuous gravitational waves in 6-7 Hz band...

A torsion-bar antenna (TOBA) is a low-frequency terrestrial gravitational wave (GW) antenna which consists of two orthogonal bar-shaped test masses. We upgraded the prototype TOBA and achieved the...

An information-theoretic approach to the gravitational-wave burst detection...

The advanced era of gravitational-wave astronomy, with data collected in part by the LIGO gravitational-wave interferometers, has begun as of fall 2015. One potential type of detectable gravitational...

Transition radiation at radio frequencies from ultra-high energy...

Coherent radiation at radio frequencies from high-energy showers fully contained in a dense radio-transparent medium - like ice, salt or regolith - has been extensively investigated as a promising...

Calibration scheme for large Kinetic Inductance Detector Arrays based on...

Microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) provides a way to build large ground based sub-mm instruments such as NIKA and A-MKID. For such instruments, therefore, it is important to understand and...

Study of the atmospheric conditions at Cerro Armazones using astronomical data

Aims: We studied the precipitable water vapour (PWV) content near Cerro Armazones and discuss the potential use of our technique of modelling the telluric absorbtion lines for the investigation of...

Concomitant Hamiltonian and topological structures of extended...

The paper describes the unique geometric properties of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and demonstrates how such features are inherited by extended MHD models, which incorporate two-fluid effects....

A Gibbs Sampler for Multivariate Linear Regression [Replacement]

Kelly (2007, hereafter K07) described an efficient algorithm, using Gibbs sampling, for performing linear regression in the fairly general case where non-zero measurement errors exist for both the...

Quantum Telescopes: feasibility and constrains [Replacement]

Quantum Telescope is a recent idea aimed at beating the diffraction limit of spaceborne telescopes and possibly also other distant target imaging systems. There is no agreement yet on the best setup of...

A Search for Brief Optical Flashes Associated with the SETI Target KIC 846285

The F-type star KIC~8462852 has recently been identified as an exceptional target for SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) observations. We describe an analysis methodology for optical SETI,...

The Giant Impact Simulations with Density Independent Smoothed Particle...

At present, the giant impact (GI) is the most widely accepted model for the origin of the Moon. Most of the numerical simulations of GI have been carried out with the smoothed particle hydrodynamics...
