Flux-resolved X-ray spectroscopy is widely adopted to investigate the spectral variation of a target between various flux levels. In many cases it is done through horizontally splitting a single light curve into multiple flux levels with…

We conduct a stacking analysis using 1.4 GHz NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) detections and Planck all-sky maps to estimate the differential source counts down to the few 100 $\mu$Jy level at 30, 44, 70 and 100 GHz. Consequently, we are able to…

In this paper, we propose an efficient technique for estimating individual power spectral density (PSD) components, i.e., PSD of each desired sound source as well as of noise and reverberation, in a multi-source reverberant sound scene with…

Methods currently in use for locating and characterising sources in radio interferometry maps are designed for processing images, and require interferometric maps to be preprocessed so as to resemble conventional images. We demonstrate a…

Sensor noise sources cause differences in the signal recorded across pixels in a single image and across multiple images. This paper presents a Bayesian approach to decomposing and characterizing the sensor noise sources involved in imaging…

This paper deals with a source separation strategy based on second-order statistics, namely, on data covariance matrices estimated at several lags. In general, ``blind'' approaches to source separation do not assume any knowledge on the…

We present the main steps that will be taken to extract H$\alpha$ emission flux from Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS) photometric data. For galaxies with $z\lesssim0.015$, the H$\alpha$+[NII] emission is covered by the…

This paper addresses the problem of separating spectral sources which are linearly mixed with unknown proportions. The main difficulty of the problem is to ensure the full additivity (sum-to-one) of the mixing coefficients and…

The flux density from undetected sources in the observing beam of a telescope produces source confusion noise in the resulting maps of the sky, and thus limits sensitivity. In a recent paper we discussed this effect in the…

In the presence of strong clustering, low-resolution surveys measure the summed contributions of groups of sources within the beam. The counts of bright intensity peaks are therefore shifted to higher flux levels compared to the counts of…

We present results of an extensive study of the X-ray spectral properties of sources detected in the RIXOS survey, that is nearly complete down to a flux limit of 3e-14 cgs (0.5-2 keV). We show that for X-ray surveys containing sources with…
