Interferometry has brought many new constraints in optical astronomy in the recent years. A major leap in this field is the opening of large interferometric facilities like the Very Large Telescope Interferometer and the Keck Interferometer…

This paper presents a multilevel algorithm specifically designed for radio-interferometric imaging in astronomy. The proposed algorithm is used to solve the uSARA (unconstrained Sparsity Averaging Reweighting Analysis) formulation of this…

Data from radio interferometers provide a substantial challenge for statisticians. It is incomplete, noise-dominated and originates from a non-trivial measurement process. The signal is not only corrupted by imperfect measurement devices…

Data sizes for next generation radio telescopes, such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), are far above that of their predecessors. The CLEAN algorithm was originally developed by H\"ogbom [1974], long before such data sizes were thought…

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project consists of delivering two largest radio telescope arrays being built by the SKA Observatory (SKAO), which is an intergovernmental organization bringing together nations from around the world with…

We review how the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will address fundamental questions in cosmology, focussing on its use for neutral Hydrogen (HI) surveys. A key enabler of its unique capabilities will be large (but smart) receptors in the form…

Solar radio emission, especially at metre-wavelengths, is well known to vary over small spectral ($\lesssim$100\,kHz) and temporal ($<1$\,s) spans. It is comparatively recently, with the advent of a new generation of instruments, that it…

We outline the case for a comprehensive wide and deep survey ultimately targeted at obtaining 21-cm HI line emission spectroscopic observations of more than a billion galaxies to redshift z=1.5 and greater over half the sky. This survey…

Astronomers usually need the highest angular resolution possible, but the blurring effect of diffraction imposes a fundamental limit on the image quality from any single telescope. Interferometry allows light collected at widely-separated…

Radio astronomy plays a crucial role in understanding the universe, particularly within the realm of non-thermal astrophysics. Images of celestial objects are derived from the signals (called visibility) measured by radio telescopes. Such…

Wide-field radio interferometric telescopes such as the Square Kilometre Array now being designed are subject to a number of aberrations. One particularly pernicious aberration is that due to non-coplanar baselines whereby long baselines…

I consider the question posed to me by the scientific organisers of the conference, "Are the modern computer simulations a substitute for physical models? The SKA case." I briefly consider the current knowledge of computer simulations and…

The exceptional sensitivity of the SKA will allow observations of the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization (CD/EoR) in unprecedented detail, both spectrally and spatially. This wealth of information is buried under Galactic and…
