The observed interstellar scintillation pattern of an intra-day variable radio source is influenced by its source structure. If the velocity of the interstellar medium responsible for the scattering is comparable to the earth's, the vector…
The propagation of sound in a shallow water environment is characterized by boundary reflections from the sea surface and sea floor. These reflections result in multiple (indirect) sound propagation paths, which can degrade the performance…

Gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence sources can be decomposed into spherical-harmonic multipoles, the dominant being the quadrupole ($\ell=2, m=\pm2$) modes. The contribution of sub-dominant modes towards total signal power…

Context. The nature of X-shaped sources is a matter of considerable debate in the literature: it has even been proposed that they provide evidence for black-hole-mergers/spin-reorientation, and therefore constrain the rate of strong…
Astronomy, biophysics, and material science often depend on the possibility to extract information out of faint spatial signals. Here we present a morphometric analysis technique to quantify the shape of structural deviations in greyscale…
