The largest fluctuation in the observed CMB temperature field is the dipole, its origin being usually attributed to the Doppler Effect - the Earth's velocity with respect to the CMB rest frame. The lowest order boost correction to…
We derive full-sky, real-space operators that convert between polarization Stokes Q/U parameters and the coordinate-independent scalar E/B modes that are widely used in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and cosmic shear analysis. We also…
It has been pointed out recently that the quadrupole-octopole alignment in the CMB data is significantly affected by the so-called kinetic Doppler quadrupole (DQ), which is the temperature quadrupole induced by our proper motion. Assuming…
Previous methods decompose blind super resolution (SR) problem into two sequential steps: \textit{i}) estimating blur kernel from given low-resolution (LR) image and \textit{ii}) restoring SR image based on estimated kernel. This two-step…
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments generally infer a temperature fluctuation from a measured intensity fluctuation through the first term in the Taylor expansion of the Planck function, the relation between the intensity in a…

Differential drive mobile robots often use one or more caster wheels for balance. Caster wheels are appreciated for their ability to turn in any direction almost on the spot, allowing the robot to do the same and thereby greatly simplifying…
The bunch-by-bunch BPM signal array has to be reshaped into a turn-by-turn (TBT) matrix in order to make the TBT beam position information of a single bunch available for further data analysis, such as via the Fourier transform to obtain…
The blazar sequence is a scenario in which the bolometric luminosity of the blazar governs the appearance of its spectral energy distribution. The most prominent result is the significant negative correlation between the synchrotron peak…
Calibration is a key step in the signal processing pipeline of any radio astronomical instrument. The required sky, ionospheric and instrumental models for this step can suffer from various kinds of incompleteness. In this paper we analyze…
In this paper, we investigate the theoretical and empirical properties of $L_2$ boosting with kernel regression estimates as weak learners. We show that each step of $L_2$ boosting reduces the bias of the estimate by two orders of…
Radiometeric CMB measurements need to be highly stable and this stability is best obtained with differential receivers. The residual 1/f noise in the differential output is strongly dependent on the radiometer input offset which can be…
