Image subtraction is essential for transient detection in time-domain astronomy. The point spread function (PSF), photometric scaling, and sky background generally vary with time and across the field-of-view for imaging data taken with…
Sparsity promoting functions (SPFs) are commonly used in optimization problems to find solutions which are assumed or desired to be sparse in some basis. For example, the l1-regularized variation model and the Rudin-Osher-Fatemi total…
A major issue in optical astronomical image analysis is the combined effect of the instrument's point spread function (PSF) and the atmospheric seeing that blurs images and changes their shape in a way that is band and time-of-observation…

The resolution of optical imaging is classically limited by the width of the point-spread function, which in turn is determined by the Rayleigh length. Recently, spatial-mode demultiplexing (SPADE) has been proposed as a method to achieve…
