We describe photometry improvements in the La Silla--Quest RR Lyrae star (RRLS) survey that enable it to reach distances from the Sun ($d_{\odot}$) $\sim 140$ kpc. We report the results of surveying $\sim 300~ {\rm deg}^2$ of sky around the…

Future particle accelerators such as the the SLAC ``Linac Coherent Light Source-II'' (LCLS-II) and the proposed Cornell Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) require hundreds of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities operating in continuous…

(abridged). We outline LBCS (the LOFAR Long-Baseline Calibrator Survey), whose aim is to identify sources suitable for calibrating the highest-resolution observations made with the International LOFAR Telescope, which include baselines…

Large frame ring laser gyroscopes are top sensitivity inertial sensors able to measure absolute angular rotation rate below $\rm \mathbf{prad/s}$ in few seconds. The development of ring laser based on a simple mechanical structure, usually…

Spectrographs nominally contain a degree of quasi-static optical aberrations resulting from the quality of manufactured component surfaces, imperfect alignment, design residuals, thermal effects, and other other associated phenomena…

The variability and rotation of ultra cool dwarfs (UCDs) provide important information on their atmospheres and evolution. As part of an ongoing program to investigate this, projected rotation speeds, vsini, are presented for 16 field UCDs…

The ambitious scientific goals of SKA require a matching capability for calibration of instrumental and atmospheric propagation contributions as functions of time, frequency and position. The development of novel calibration algorithms to…

This letter presents a dual quadrature phasemeter, an implementation of a phase-locked loop designed to track the phase of homodyne and heterodyne inter-satellite laser links. The dual quadrature phasemeters use dual quadrature optical…
