Radio interferometric gain calibration can be biased by incomplete sky models and radio frequency interference, resulting in calibration artefacts that can restrict the dynamic range of the resulting images. It has been suggested that…

We present predicted full-sky maps of submillimeter and microwave emission from the diffuse interstellar dust in the Galaxy. These maps are extrapolated from the 100 micron emission and 100/240 micron flux ratio maps that Schlegel,…
Context. In Gaia era, atmospheric turbulence, which causes stochastic wander of a star image, is a fundamental limitation to the astrometric accuracy of ground-based optical imaging. However, the positional bias caused by turbulence (called…

We present the results of X-ray spectral and timing analyses of the closest gamma-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 ($\gamma$-NLS1) galaxy, 1H 0323+342. We use observations from a recent, simultaneous XMM-Newton/NuSTAR campaign. As in…
In radio interferometry imaging, the gridding procedure of convolving visibilities with a chosen gridding function is necessary to transform visibility values into uniformly sampled grid points. We propose here a parameterised family of…
