The Gaia celestial reference frame (Gaia-CRF) will benefit from a close assessment with independent methods, such as Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) measurements of radio stars at bright magnitudes. However, obtaining full…
We report here the study, in the radio band, of a sample of candidates of high Rotation Measure (RM). The point-like objects (at kpc scale) were selected by choosing unpolarised sources from the NVSS which show significant linear…
Many post-processing algorithms have been developed in order to better separate the signal of a companion from the bright light of the host star, but the effect of such algorithms on the shape of exoplanet spectra extracted from integral…
This paper presents an angular correlation analysis of the Green Bank 4.85 GHz radio catalog (Gregory \& Condon 1991) of 54,579 sources (S \gsim 25 mJy). The Green Bank catalog is found to be complete to S $\geq$ 35 mJy over 20$^{\circ}…
The weak gravitational lensing effect, small coherent distortions of galaxy images by means of a gravitational tidal field, can be used to study the relation between the matter and galaxy distribution. In this context, weak lensing has so…
Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors for both solar and laser guide star adaptive optics (with elongated spots) need to observe extended objects. Correlation techniques have been successfully employed to measure the wavefront gradient in solar…
Cross-correlations between the lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and other tracers of large-scale structure provide a unique way to reconstruct the growth of dark matter, break degeneracies between cosmology and galaxy…
This contribution is intended as a `rough guide' to the Hipparcos Catalogue for the non-expert user. Some general aspects of the use of astrometric data are discussed as well as Hipparcos-specific applications. We discuss when and at what…
We present a simple analytic approximation for the covariance between pre-reconstruction galaxy power spectrum measurements and post-reconstruction two-point correlation functions. This cross-covariance is essential for joint analyses that…
Skyline queries are popular and effective tools in multi-criteria decision support as they extract interesting (pareto-optimal) points that help summarize the available data with respect to a given set of preference attributes.…
We present for the first time a new method to estimate the seeing using remote sounding from the IR night time data of the GOES 12 satellite. We discuss the derived correlation between the ground data and the satellite derived values from…
We measure the cross-correlation between weak lensing of galaxy images and of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The effects of gravitational lensing on different sources will be correlated if the lensing is caused by the same mass…
Various studies have laid claim to finding an alignment of the polarization vectors or radio jets of active galactic nuclei (AGN) over large distances, but these results have proven controversial and so far, there is no clear explanation…
Cosmological parameter estimation requires that the likelihood function of the data is accurately known. Assuming that cosmological large-scale structure power spectra data are multivariate Gaussian-distributed, we show the accuracy of…
We estimate the sensitivity of future galaxy surveys to cosmological parameters, using the redshift dependent angular power spectra of galaxy number counts, $C_\ell(z_1,z_2)$, calculated with all relativistic corrections at first order in…
We perform a discrete wavelet analysis of the COBE-DMR 4yr sky maps and find a significant scale-scale correlation on angular scales from about 11 to 22 degrees, only in the DMR face centered on the North Galactic Pole. This non-Gaussian…
Consistency checks of cosmological data sets are an important tool because they may suggest systematic errors or the type of modifications to $\Lambda$CDM necessary to resolve current tensions. In this work, we derive an analytic method for…
We consider an alternative to conventional three-point statistics such as the bispectrum, which is purely based on the Fourier phases of the density field: the line correlation function. This statistic directly probes the non-linear…
