Multipath-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is an emerging paradigm for accurate indoor localization with limited resources. The goal of multipath-based SLAM is to detect and localize radio reflective surfaces to support…
Pulsed gamma rays have been detected with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) from more than 20 millisecond pulsars (MSPs), some of which were discovered in radio observations of bright, unassociated LAT sources. We have fit the radio and…
Phased Array Feed (PAF) receivers are at the forefront of modern day radio astronomy. PAFs are currently being developed for spectral line and radio continuum surveys and to search for pulsars and fast radio bursts. Here, we present results…
Astronomers usually need the highest angular resolution possible, but the blurring effect of diffraction imposes a fundamental limit on the image quality from any single telescope. Interferometry allows light collected at widely-separated…
Interferometric observations of HI in galaxies played a pivotal role in studies of nearby galaxies. Compared to single-dish observation, it provides resolved distribution of gas in galaxies with unprecedented resolution. Several extensive…
