(Abridged) Weak gravitational lensing is an ideal probe of the dark universe. In recent years, several linear methods have been developed to reconstruct the density distribution in the Universe in three dimensions, making use of photometric…

We present a blind method to determine the properties of a foreground contamination, given by a visibility mask, that affects a deep galaxy survey. Angular cross correlations of density fields in different redshift bins are expected to…

Motivated by the limitations encountered with the commonly used direct reconstruction techniques of producing mass maps, we have developed a multi-resolution maximum-likelihood reconstruction method for producing two dimensional mass maps…

Five-dimensional (5D) optical data storage has emerged as a promising technology for ultra-high-density, long-term data archiving. However, its practical realization is hindered by noise and interference during data readout. In this work,…

Non-maximum suppression is an integral part of the object detection pipeline. First, it sorts all detection boxes on the basis of their scores. The detection box M with the maximum score is selected and all other detection boxes with a…

In Paper I, we presented an overview of the Southern-sky MWA Rapid Two-metre (SMART) survey, including the survey design and search pipeline. While the combination of MWA's large field-of-view and the voltage capture system brings a survey…

We present a regularized maximum likelihood weak lensing reconstruction of the Deep Lens Survey F2 field (4 deg^2). High signal-to-noise ratio peaks in our lensing significance map appear to be associated with possible projected filamentary…

We present an overview of the Southern-sky MWA Rapid Two-metre (SMART) pulsar survey that exploits the MWA's large field of view and voltage capture system to survey the sky south of 30 degree in declination for pulsars and fast transients…

We present the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue (RASS-BSC, revision 1RXS) derived from the all-sky survey performed during the first half year (1990/91) of the ROSAT mission. 18,811 sources are catalogued (i) down to a limiting…

Compared to single-source imaging systems, dual-source imaging systems equipped with two cross-distributed scanning beams significantly enhance temporal resolution and capture more comprehensive object scanning information. Nevertheless,…

We have conducted a submillimetre mapping survey of faint, gravitationally lensed sources, where we have targeted twelve galaxy clusters and additionally the NTT Deep Field. The total area surveyed is 71.5 arcmin^2 in the image plane;…

In experimental microwave maps, point-sources can strongly affect the estimation of the power-spectrum and/or the test of Gaussianity of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) component. As a consequence, their removal from the sky maps…

We present a catalog of 8358 sources extracted from images produced by the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS). The BGPS is a survey of the millimeter dust continuum emission from the northern Galactic plane. The catalog sources are…

Large sky surveys are increasingly relying on image subtraction pipelines for real-time (and archival) transient detection. In this process one has to contend with varying PSF, small brightness variations in many sources, as well as…

We apply a mass reconstruction technique to simulated large-scale structure gravitational distortion maps, from 2.5' to 10 degree scales, for different cosmological scenarii. The projected mass is reconstructed using a non-parametric least…

We present the image and catalogue of the 14.3 micron shallow survey of 0.55 square degrees in the region of the Lockman Hole (10h52m03s +57d21m46s, J2000) with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The data have been analyzed with the…

We present two new source extraction methods, based on Bayesian model selection and using the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The first is a source detection filter, able to simultaneously detect point sources and estimate the image…

The CORNISH project is the highest resolution radio continuum survey of the Galactic plane to date. It is the 5 GHz radio continuum part of a series of multi-wavelength surveys that focus on the northern GLIMPSE region (10 deg < l < 65…

We present sources selected from their Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) colors that merit future observations to image for disks and possible exoplanet companions. Introducing a weighted detection method, we eliminated the…

The forthcoming generation of radio telescope arrays promises significant advancements in sensitivity and resolution, enabling the identification and characterization of many new faint and diffuse radio sources. Conventional manual…
