Brillouin imaging suffers from intrinsically low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Such low SNRs can render common data analysis protocols unreliable, especially for SNRs below $\sim10$. In this work we exploit two denoising algorithms, namely…

KIC 9406652, one of the recently identified IW And-type dwarf novae, is the best target for studying the tilted disk in cataclysmic variable stars. In a previous paper by Kimura, Osaki, and Kato (2020), we analyzed its Kepler light curves…
We investigated the pulsating behavior of KIC 10855535 using Kepler 4-year long cadence data. Two independent frequencies were detected: a pulsation frequency F0 = 17.733260(5)d-1 and a low frequency f8=0.412643(8)d-1 We identify F0 as the…
We identify a systematic distortion of the gain-vs.-frequency function of radio telescopes caused by digital flattening ("whitening") of the signal's spectrum followed by re-quantization, a common pair of processes in the signal processing…

Stars are stretched by tidal interactions in tight binaries, and changes to their projected areas introduce photometric variations twice per orbit. Hermes et al. (2014, ApJ, 792, 39) utilized measurements of these ellipsoidal variations to…
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is an important index for wireless communications. There are many methods for increasing SNR. In CDMA systems, spreading sequences are used. We consider the frequency-selective wide-sense-stationary…
