The Spitzer Extended Deep Survey (SEDS) as a deep and wide mid-infrared (MIR) survey project provides a sample of 500000+ sources spreading 1.46 square degree and a depth of 26 AB mag (3$\sigma$). Combining with the previous available data,…
We present the CFHTLS-Archive-Research Survey (CARS). It is a virtual multi-colour survey based on public archive images from the CFHT-Legacy-Survey. Our main scientific interests in CARS are optical searches for galaxy clusters from low to…
Object cross-identification in multiple observations is often complicated by the uncertainties in their astrometric calibration. Due to the lack of standard reference objects, an image with a small field of view can have significantly…
Multi-wavelength astronomical studies brings a wealth of science within reach. One way to achieve a cross-wavelength analysis is via `stacking', i.e. combining precise positional information from an image at one wavelength with data from…
CHARIS is an IFS designed for imaging and spectroscopy of disks and sub-stellar companions. To improve ease of use and efficiency of science production, we present progress on a fully-automated backend for CHARIS. This Automated Data…
This paper describes a new approach to the optimization of information extraction in multi-wavelength image cubes of cosmological fields. The objective is to create a framework for the automatic identification and tagging of sources…
Galaxy groups have been under-studied relative to their richer counterparts -- clusters. The Group Evolution Multiwavelength Study (GEMS) aims to redress some the balance. Here we describe the GEMS sample selection and resulting sample of…
Two novel methods, including the scanning envelope synthesis (SES) method and the active reflection self-cancellation (ARC) method, are proposed to design wide-angle scanning heterogeneous element phased arrays. Heterogeneous strategy is…
In this paper Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays UHECRs data observed by the HiRes fluorescence detector in stereo mode is analyzed to search for events in the sky with an arrival direction lying on a great circle. Such structure is known as the…
We have assembled an 8.4 GHz survey of bright, flat-spectrum (alpha > -0.5) radio sources with nearly uniform extragalactic (|b|>10 deg) coverage for sources brighter than S_{4.8 GHz} = 65 mJy. The catalog is assembled from existing…
The increasing number of Very High Energy (VHE) sources discovered by the current generation of Cherenkov telescopes made particularly relevant the creation of a dedicated source catalogs as well as the cross-correlation of VHE and lower…
ANTARES is a neutrino telescope designed to search for high-energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources such as quasars, gamma-ray bursters, microquasars, supernova remnants and AGN. The objectives also include the indirect search for…
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a technique used to map the occupied electronic structure of solids. Recent progress in X-ray focusing optics has led to the development of ARPES into a microscopic tool, permitting the…
We lay the foundations of a statistical framework for multi-catalogue cross-correlation and cross-identification based on explicit simplified catalogue models. A proper identification process should rely on both astrometric and photometric…
New classes of astronomical objects are often discovered serendipitously. The enormous data volumes produced by recent high-time resolution, radio-telescope surveys imply that efficient algorithms are required for a discovery. Such…
This paper introduces Archer, a community-based computing resource for computer architecture research and education. The Archer infrastructure integrates virtualization and batch scheduling middleware to deliver high-throughput computing…
EAS arrays are survey instruments able to monitor continuously all the overhead sky. Their sensitivity in the sub-TeV/TeV energy domain cannot compete with that of Cherenkov telescopes, but the wide field of view (about 2 sr) is ideal to…
The number of extragalactic sources detected at very hight energy (VHE, E$>$100GeV) has dramatically increased during the past years to reach more than fifty. The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) had observed the sky for more than…
Multi-frequency observations are a powerful tool of astrophysical investigation. Not only is data in each wavelength band providing different clues to the objects nature, but taken simultaneously, these data can reveal the mechanisms at…
How did galaxies form and evolve? This is one of the most challenging questions in astronomy today. Answering it requires a careful combination of observational and theoretical work to reliably determine the observed properties of cosmic…
