A mid-infrared nulling-space interferometer is a promising way to characterize thermal light from habitable planet candidates around Sun-like stars. However, one of the main challenges for achieving this ambitious goal is a high-precision…
We present extended point spread function (PSF) models for the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program Public Data Release 3 (HSC-SSP PDR3) in all $\textit{g,r,i,Z}$ and $\textit{Y}$-bands. Due to its 8.2m primary mirror and long…
Far-side images of solar active regions have become one of the routine products of helioseismic observations, and are of importance for space weather forecasting by allowing the detection of sunspot regions before they become visible on the…
When recording spectra from the ground, atmospheric turbulence causes degradation of the spatial resolution. We present a data reduction method that restores the spatial resolution of the spectra to their undegraded state. By assuming that…
