We observed the X-ray binaries CirX-1, ScoX-1, GRS 1915+105, GX13+1, and CygX-1 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Unresolved continuum emission is found at the positions of all the sources at a frequency of 92…
Aperture Arrays have played a major role in radio astronomy since the field emerged from the results of long-distance communication tests performed by Karl Jansky in the early 1930's. The roots of this technology extend back beyond Marconi,…
SDSS J083942.11+380526.3 is an Iron Low-ionization Broad Absorption Line (FeLoBAL) quasar at z = 2.3, and Aoki et al. (2006) recently found the presence of an H alpha absorption line in the broad H alpha emission line. Motivated by an idea…
We predict and experimentally observe the enhancement by three orders of magnitude of phase mismatched second and third harmonic generation in a GaAs cavity at 650nm and 433nm, respectively, well above the absorption edge. Phase locking…
This White Paper proposes a unique milli-Jansky sensitive arcsecond resolution VLA 15 GHz (Ku band) continuum polarization imaging survey of the Galactic plane using C array configuration. The science driver is to fill the gap between…
This paper proposes a wideband dual-polarized phased array with ultra-wideband scattering cross section (SCS) reduction. The antenna elements are loaded on a bilateral stepped ground. This ground is carefully designed in terms of height…
SECIS observations of the June 2001 total solar eclipse were taken using an Fe {\sc xiv} 5303 {\AA} filter. Automated tools based on wavelet analysis was used to detect intensity oscillations on various areas of the images. Statistical…
Spectacular advances in heterodyne astronomy with both the Herschel Space Observatory and Stratospheric Observatory for Far Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) have been largely due to breakthroughs in detector technology. In order to exploit the…
Gamma-ray line studies are capable of identifying radioactive tracer isotopes generated in cosmic nucleosynthesis events. Pioneering measurements were made 30 years ago with HEAO-C1, detecting the first interstellar gamma-ray line from…
We detail tentative detections of low-frequency carbon radio recombination lines from within the Orion molecular cloud complex observed at 99-129 MHz. These tentative detections include one alpha transition and one beta transition over…
We report an analysis of the archival Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) data from the December 2004 hyperflare from SGR 1806-20. In addition to the 90 Hz QPO first discovered by Israel et al., we report the detection of higher frequency…
We report a radio SETI search for periodic, kHz-wide signals from five of the nearest stars observable with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). Using the 19-beam L-band receiver (1.05-1.45 GHz), we obtained…
Long wavelength spectral distortions in the Cosmic Microwave Background arising from the 21-cm transition in neutral Hydrogen are a key probe of Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization. These features may reveal the nature of the first…
This paper is the fourth in a series of low-frequency searches for technosignatures. Using the Murchison Widefield Array over two nights we integrate 7 hours of data toward the Galactic Centre (centred on the position of Sagittarius A*)…
The optical manipulation of Ba$^{+}$ ions is mainly performed by a 493 nm laser for the S$_{1/2}$-P$_{1/2}$ transition and a 650 nm laser for the P$_{1/2}$-D$_{3/2}$ transition. Since the branching ratio between the 493 nm and 650 nm…
We propose a method to continuously frequency shift a target laser that is frequency stabilized by a reference laser, which is several hundreds of nanometers detuned. We demonstrate the technique using the 5S 1/2 to 5P 3/2 to 29D 5/2…
We theoretically investigate the recovery of global spectrum (monopole) from visibilities (cross-correlation only) measured by the interferometer array and the feasibility of extracting 21 cm signal of cosmic dawn. In our approach, the…
We present the first observations of the Sun with the Allen Telescope Array (ATA). We used up to six frequencies, from 1.43 to 6 GHz, and baselines from 6 to 300 m. To our knowledge, these are the first simultaneous multifrequency full-Sun…
We study a solar flare that occurred on September 10, 2002, in active region NOAA 10105 starting around 14:52 UT and lasting approximately 5 minutes in the radio range. The event was classified as M2.9 in X-rays and 1N in H\alpha. Solar…
Sensitive spectral observations made in two frequency bands near 6.0 and 17.6 GHz are described for Orion and W51. Using frequency switching we were able to achieve a dynamic range in excess of 10,000 without fitting sinusoidal or…
