This paper is the first of a series describing the results of the Australia Telescope Hubble Deep Field South (ATHDFS) radio survey. The survey was conducted at four wavelengths - 20, 11, 6, and 3 cm, over a 4-year period, and achieves an…

By accumulating data from the Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC) on board the MAXI mission for 2 years from 2009 to 2011, diffuse X-ray background maps were obtained in energies of 0.7--1.0, 1.0--2.0, and 2.0--4.0 keV. They are the first ones…

Understanding the impact of baryonic feedback on the small-scale ($k \gtrsim 1\,h\,$Mpc$^{-1}$) matter power spectrum is a key astrophysical challenge, and essential for interpreting data from upcoming weak-lensing surveys, which require…

We describe the spectrophotometric calibration of the Mid-Infrared Instrument's (MIRI) Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This calibration is complicated by a time-dependent evolution in the…

Simulating high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images in complex scenes has consistently presented a significant research challenge. The development of a microwave-domain surface scattering model and its reversibility are poised…

Context. High-resolution observations of the solar photosphere reveal the presence of fine structures, in particular the so-called magnetic bright points (MBPs), which are small-scale features associated with strong magnetic field regions…

We discuss measurements of the properties of about 10,000 asteroids detected in 500 deg2 of sky in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) commissioning data. The moving objects are detected in the magnitude range 14 < r < 21.5, with a baseline…

Using a high resolution radio image, we successfully resolve the two fold image components B and C of the quasar lens system SDSS J1029+2623. The flux anomalies associated with these two components in the optical regime persist, albeit less…

We derive and parametrize the Galactic mass function (MF) below 1 $\msol$ characteristic of both single objects and binary systems. We resolve the long standing discrepancy between the MFs derived from the HST and from the nearby luminosity…

We present and discuss the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of the ROSAT Brightest Cluster sample (BCS), an X-ray flux limited sample of clusters of galaxies in the northern hemisphere compiled from ROSAT All-Sky Survey data. The BCS allows…

The cosmological dispersion measure (DM) as a function of redshift, derived from localized fast radio bursts (FRBs), has been used as a tool for constraining the cosmic ionized fraction and cosmological parameters. For these purposes, the…

We present 547 optical redshifts obtained for galaxies in the region of the Horologium-Reticulum Supercluster (HRS) using the 6dF multi-fiber spectrograph on the UK Schmidt Telescope at the Anglo Australian Observatory. The HRS covers an…

Two Compact Steep-spectrum Sources (CSSs), 0548+165 and 1524-136, chosen from a list of CSSs with polarization percentages that decrease with decreasing frequency and high rotation measure values (RM > 450 rad/m**2) on arcsecond scales,…
