A Roadmap to Interstellar Flight [Replacement]
In the nearly 60 years of spaceflight we have accomplished wonderful feats of exploration that have shown the incredible spirit of the human drive to explore and understand our universe. Yet in those...
View ArticleUnfolding problem clarification and solution validation [Replacement]
The unfolding problem formulation for correcting experimental data distortions due to finite resolution and limited detector acceptance is discussed. A novel validation of the problem solution is...
View ArticleThe 2-10 keV unabsorbed luminosity function of AGN from the XMM-Newton LSS,...
The XMM-LSS, XMM-COSMOS, and XMM-CDFS surveys are complementary in terms of sky coverage and depth. Together, they form a clean sample with the least possible variance in instrument effective areas and...
View ArticleComparison of absolute gain photometric calibration between Planck/HFI and...
We compare the absolute gain photometric calibration of the Planck/HFI and Herschel/SPIRE instruments on diffuse emission. The absolute calibration of HFI and SPIRE each relies on planet flux...
View ArticleThe Search for Directed Intelligence
We propose a search for sources of directed energy systems such as those now becoming technologically feasible on Earth. Recent advances in our own abilities allow us to foresee our own capability that...
View ArticleSearching for the HR 8799 Debris Disk with HST/STIS
We present a new algorithm for space telescope high contrast imaging of close-to-face-on planetary disks called Optimized Spatially Filtered (OSFi) normalization. This algorithm is used on HR 8799...

We present a statistical assessment of both, observed and reported, photometric uncertainties in the OGLE-IV Galactic bulge microlensing survey data. This dataset is widely used for the detection of...
View ArticleA strong magnetic field in the jet base of a supermassive black hole
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) host some of the most energetic phenomena in the Universe. AGN are thought to be powered by accretion of matter onto a rotating disk that surrounds a supermassive black...

View ArticleAnalytical model for ring heater thermal compensation in the Advanced Laser...
Advanced laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors use high laser power to achieve design sensitivity. A small part of this power is absorbed in the interferometer cavity mirrors where it...
View ArticleRadio SETI Observations of the Anomalous Star KIC 8462852 [Replacement]
We report on a search for the presence of signals from extraterrestrial intelligence in the direction of the star system KIC 8462852. Observations were made at radio frequencies between 1-10 GHz using...
View ArticleA Wide-Field Camera and Fully Remote Operations at the Wyoming Infrared...
Upgrades at the 2.3 meter Wyoming Infrared Observatory telescope have provided the capability for fully-remote operations by a single operator from the University of Wyoming campus. A line-of-sight 300...

Model-independent distance constraints to binary millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are of great value to both the timing observations of the radio pulsars, and multiwavelength observations of their companion...
View ArticleOptimal scan strategies for future CMB satellite experiments
The B-mode polarisation power spectrum in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is about four orders of magnitude fainter than the CMB temperature power spectrum. Any instrumental imperfections that...

View ArticlePRECL: A new method for interferometry imaging from closure phase [Replacement]
For short-wavelength VLBI observations, it is difficult to measure the phase of the visibility function accurately. The closure phases are reliable measurements under this situation, though it is not...
