The traditional split-up into a low level language and a high level language in the design of computer algebra systems may become obsolete with the advent of more versatile computer languages. We describe GiNaC, a special-purpose system…
Cosmography is an ideal tool to investigate the cosmic expansion history of the Universe in a model-independent way. The equations of motion in modified theories of gravity are usually very complicated; cosmography may select practical…
Spectangular is a GUI based software package written in C++ designed for spectral disentangling on the wavelength scale. The code disentangles spectra of SB1 and SB2 systems and can now also be used also for spectra showing variability. In…
The homogeneous, isotropic, and flat $\Lambda$CDM universe favored by observations of the cosmic microwave background can be described using only Euclidean geometry, locally correct Newtonian mechanics, and the basic postulates of special…
A major challenge in the deployment of scientific software solutions is the adaptation of research prototypes to production-grade code. While high-level languages like MATLAB are useful for rapid prototyping, they lack the resource…
In this paper we describe the set of ``New Worlds Simulations'', three very large cosmology simulations, Qo'noS, Vulcan, and Ferenginar, that were carried out on the Summit supercomputer with the Hardware/Hybrid Cosmology Code, HACC. The…
We introduce NebulOS, a Big Data platform that allows a cluster of Linux machines to be treated as a single computer. With NebulOS, the process of writing a massively parallel program for a datacenter is no more complicated than writing a…
A new system of library code is proposed and initiated. It is emphasized that the same terminologies as we find in our textbooks should be used for class names in the library code. The language C# invented by Microsoft is adopted in this…
Common analysis techniques in multi-messenger astronomy involve hypothesis tests with unbinned log-likelihood (LLH) functions using data recorded in celestial coordinates to identify sources of high-energy cosmic particles in the Universe.…
As the next generation of large galaxy surveys come online, it is becoming increasingly important to develop and understand the machine learning tools that analyze big astronomical data. Neural networks are powerful and capable of probing…
Model-independent methods in cosmology has become an essential tool in order to deal with an increasing number of theoretical alternatives for explaining the late-time acceleration of the Universe. In principle, this provides a way of…
We present the BACCO project, a simulation framework specially designed to provide highly-accurate predictions for the distribution of mass, galaxies, and gas as a function of cosmological parameters. In this paper, we describe our main…
A direct cryptographic computation of the Cosmological Constant {\Omega}{\Lambda} based solely on a physically anchored prime modulus that stands in full agreement with observational data on {\Omega}{\Lambda} and {\Omega}m and the…
This paper investigates the determination of the Qibla direction using both astronomical and geometrical approaches. The study reviews historical and classical methods employed by Muslim scholars and astronomers including the use of…
We review the status of bouncing cosmologies as alternatives to cosmological inflation for providing a description of the very early universe, and a source for the cosmological perturbations which are observed today. We focus on the…
This paper introduces foundations for a new kind of cosmology. We advocate that computer simulations are needed to address two key cosmological issues. First, the robustness of the emergence of complexity, which boils down to ask: "what…
There are numerous examples of problems in symbolic algebra in which the required storage grows far beyond the limitations even of the distributed RAM of a cluster. Often this limitation determines how large a problem one can solve in…
Bayesian statistics and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms have found their place in the field of Cosmology. They have become important mathematical and numerical tools, especially in parameter estimation and model comparison. In…
DSPSR is a high-performance, open-source, object-oriented, digital signal processing software library and application suite for use in radio pulsar astronomy. Written primarily in C++, the library implements an extensive range of modular…
We introduce NeedATool (Needlet Analysis Tool), a software for data analysis based on needlets, a wavelet rendition which is powerful for the analysis of fields defined on a sphere. Needlets have been applied successfully to the treatment…
