A Resonant Mode for Gravitational Wave Detectors based on Atom Interferometry...

We describe a new atom interferometric gravitational wave detector design that can operate in a resonant mode for increased sensitivity. By oscillating the positions of the atomic wavepackets, this...

Gravitational wave detection with optical lattice atomic clocks [Cross-Listing]

We propose a space-based gravitational wave detector consisting of two spatially separated, drag-free satellites sharing ultra-stable optical laser light over a single baseline. Each satellite contains...

Perfecting the Photometric Calibration of the ACS CCD Cameras

Newly acquired data and improved data reduction algorithms mandate a fresh look at the absolute flux calibration of the CCD cameras on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys...

A multi-resolution, multi-epoch low radio frequency survey of the Kepler K2...

We present the first dedicated radio continuum survey of a Kepler K2 mission field, Field 1 covering the North Galactic Cap. The survey is wide field, contemporaneous, multi-epoch, and multi-resolution...

Towards a first design of a Newtonian-noise cancellation system for Advanced...

Newtonian gravitational noise from seismic fields is predicted to be a limiting noise source at low frequency for second generation gravitational-wave detectors. Mitigation of this noise will be...

Detection of tau neutrinos by Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes

This paper investigates the potential to detect tau neutrinos in the energy range of 1-1000 PeV searching for very inclined showers with imaging Cherenkov telescopes. A neutrino induced tau lepton...

Concepts of Classification and Taxonomy. Phylogenetic Classification

Phylogenetic approaches to classification have been heavily developed in biology by bioinformaticians. But these techniques have applications in other fields, in particular in linguistics. Their main...

Characterization of transient noise in Advanced LIGO relevant to...

On September 14, 2015, a gravitational wave signal from a coalescing black hole binary system was observed by the Advanced LIGO detectors. This paper describes the transient noise backgrounds used to...

An improved method for polarimetric image restoration in interferometry

Interferometric radio astronomy data require the effects of limited coverage in the Fourier plane to be accounted for via a deconvolution process. For the last 40 years this process, known as...

A benchmark of the He-like triplet for ions with $6\leq Z\leq 14$ in...

After an extensive assessment of the effective collision strengths available to model the He-like triplet of C V, N VI, O VII, Ne IX, Mg XI and Si XIII in collisionally dominated plasmas, new accurate...

Project Icarus: Preliminary Thoughts on the Selection of Probes and...

In this paper we outline the range of probes and scientific instruments that will be required in order for Icarus to fulfill its scientific mission of exploring a nearby star, its attendant planetary...

Minimal prospects for radio detection of extensive air showers in the...

One possible approach for detecting ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos is to search for radio emission from extensive air showers created when they interact in the atmosphere of Jupiter,...

Detecting dark matter waves with precision measurement tools [Replacement]

Virialized Ultra-Light Fields (VULFs) while being viable cold dark matter candidates can also solve the standard model hierarchy problem. Direct searches for VULFs due to their non-particle nature...

A search for evidence of solar rotation in Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino...

We apply the generalized Lomb-Scargle (LS) periodogram, proposed by Zechmeister and Kurster, to the solar neutrino data from Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) using data from its first five years. For each...

Temperature dependence of alpha-induced scintillation in the...

Liquid noble based particle detectors often use the organic wavelength shifter 1,1,4,4- tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene (TPB) which shifts UV scintillation light to the visible regime, facilitating its...

Halo detection via large-scale Bayesian inference [Replacement]

We present a proof-of-concept of a novel and fully Bayesian methodology designed to detect halos of different masses in cosmological observations subject to noise and systematic uncertainties. Our...
