Asteroid-neutron star collision models have been proposed as possible sources of high-energy transients, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and fast radio bursts (FRBs). The sequence of events following the impact of the asteroid and finally…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have variable lightcurves. Although most models attribute the observed variability to one physical origin (e.g. central engine activity, clumpy circumburst medium, relativistic turbulence), some models invoke two…

The late-time optical/radio afterglows of $\gamma$-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to be synchrotron emission of electrons accelerated in relativistic collisionless shocks propagating in the ambient medium of the sources. However, the…

Distributed transmit beamforming is a technique that adjusts the signals from cooperating radios to combine coherently at a destination radio. To achieve coherent combining, the radios can exchange preambles with the destination for…

We investigate low-cost GNSS anti-jamming using beamforming with inexpensive 2-bit phase shifters, constraining each complex array weight to one of four QPSK phase states (real/imaginary = -1 or +1). This severe quantization sharply limits…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are highly variable and exhibit strong spectral evolution. In particular, the emission properties vary from pulse to pulse in multipulse bursts. Here we present a time-resolved Bayesian spectral analysis of a…

Any unambiguous detection of a stochastic gravitational wave background by a pulsar timing array will rest on the measurement of a characteristic angular correlation between pulsars. The ability to measure this correlation will depend on…

Several models of gamma-ray burst progenitors suggest that the gamma-ray event may be followed by gravitational wave signals of $10^3$-$10^4$ seconds duration (possibly accompanying the so-called X-ray afterglow "plateaus"). We term these…

Interferometric methods, renowned for their reliability and precision, play a vital role in phase imaging. Interferometry typically requires high coherence and stability between the measured and the reference beam. The presence of rapid…

The sensitivities of ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors are limited by quantum shot noise at a few hundred Hertz and above. Nonetheless, one can use a quantum-correlation technique proposed by Martynov, et al. [Phys. Rev. A 95,…

We analyze the frequency dependence of the dispersion measure (DM), the column density of free electrons to a pulsar, caused by multipath scattering from small scale electron-density fluctuations. The DM is slightly different along each…
