Analysis Framework for the Prompt Discovery of Compact Binary Mergers in...

We describe a stream-based analysis pipeline to detect gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron stars, binary black holes, and neutron-star-black-hole binaries within ~ 1 minute of the...

Detection and Removal of Artifacts in Astronomical Images [Replacement]

Astronomical images from optical photometric surveys are typically contaminated with transient artifacts such as cosmic rays, satellite trails and scattered light. We have developed and tested an...

Maximizing the Probability of Detecting an Electromagnetic Counterpart of...

Compact binary coalescences are a promising source of gravitational waves for second-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detectors such as advanced LIGO and advanced Virgo. These are among...

Kinematics of an Ideal Fluid into a Spatially Flat Anisotropic Axisymmetric...

The Standard Cosmological Model assumes that the Universe is, on average, homogeneous and isotropic for large scales (z>1), but this principle has been questioned from the results about Cosmic...

Temporal signatures of the Cherenkov light induced by extensive air showers...

We analyze temporal characteristics of signals from the wide field-of-view (WFOV) Cherenkov telescope (CT) detecting extensive air showers (EAS) of cosmic rays (CR) in coincidence with surface...

An Integrated Circuit for Radio Astronomy Correlators Supporting Large Arrays...

Radio telescopes that employ arrays of many antennas are in operation, and ever larger ones are being designed and proposed. Signals from the antennas are combined by cross-correlation. For $N$...

A polyphase filter for many-core architectures [Replacement]

In this article we discuss our implementation of a polyphase filter for real-time data processing in radio astronomy. We describe in detail our implementation of the polyphase filter algorithm and its...

Introduction to high-energy gamma-ray astronomy

The present issue is the first of of a two-volume review devoted to gamma-ray astronomy above 100 MeV which has witnessed considerable progress over the last 20 years. The motivations for research in...

A supernova feedback implementation for the astrophysical simulation software...

Supernova (SN) explosions play an important role in the development of galactic structures. The energy and momentum imparted on the interstellar medium (ISM) in so called "supernova feedback" drives...
