The discovery and study of pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in time-domain radio data is often hampered by radio frequency interference (RFI). Some of this terrestrial RFI is impulsive and bright, and relatively easy to identify and…

Optical fringe patterns are often contaminated by speckle noise, making it difficult to accurately and robustly extract their phase fields. To deal with this problem, we propose a filtering method based on deep learning, called optical…
Context. Multi-element phased-array radio telescopes use digital beamforming to widen their field-of-view with numerous tied-array beams (TABs). These beams share bandpass variations and radio frequency interference (RFI). Yet, most pulsar…
