Pulsars are known to display short-term variability. Recently, examples of longer-term emission variability have emerged that are often correlated with changes in the rotational properties of the pulsar. To further illuminate this…
We select a sample of about 50,000 early-type galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), calibrate fitting formulae which correct for known problems with photometric reductions of extended objects, apply these corrections, and then…
Observed galaxy clustering exhibits local transverse statistical isotropy around the line-of-sight (LOS). The variation of the LOS across a galaxy survey complicates the measurement of the observed clustering as a function of the angle to…
We consider imaging of fast moving small objects in space, such as low earth orbit satellites, which are also rotating around a fixed axis. The imaging system consists of ground based, asynchronous sources of radiation and several passive…
We present the small-scale (0.2h^{-1} to 7h^{-1} Mpc) cross-correlations between 32,000 luminous early-type galaxies and a reference sample of 16 million normal galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our method allows us to construct…
Several measurements of QSO-galaxy correlations have reported signals much larger than predictions of magnification by large-scale structure. We find that the expected signal depends stronly on the properties of the foreground galaxy…
Upcoming large-scale structure surveys will be able to measure new features in the galaxy two point correlation function. Relativistic effects appear on large scales as subtle corrections to redshift-space distortions, showing up as a…
Grating-based spectrographs suffer from smile and keystone distortion, which are problematic for hyperspectral data applications. Due to this, spectral lines will appear curved and roughly parabola-shaped. Smile and keystone need to be…
We present a concurrent fitting of spectra and light curves of the whole population of detected gamma-ray pulsars. Using a synchro-curvature model we compare our theoretical output with the observational data published in the Third Fermi…
Galaxy cross-correlations with high-fidelity redshift samples hold the potential to precisely calibrate systematic photometric redshift uncertainties arising from the unavailability of complete and representative training and validation…
Temporal analysis of radiation from Astrophysical sources like Active Galactic Nuclei, X-ray Binaries and Gamma-ray bursts provide information on the geometry and sizes of the emitting regions. Establishing that two light-curves in…
Recurrence plots exhibit line structures which represent typical behaviour of the investigated system. The local slope of these line structures is connected with a specific transformation of the time scales of different segments of the…
Cavity ring-up spectroscopy (CRUS) provides an advanced technique to sense ultrafast phenomena, but there is no thorough discussion on its theory. Here we give a detailed theoretical analysis of CRUS with and without modal coupling, and…
Sampling and quantization are standard practices in signal and image processing, but a theoretical understanding of their impact is incomplete. We consider discrete image registration when the underlying function is a one-dimensional…
Context: A number of pulsating stars with rotational splittings have been observed thanks to the CoRoT and Kepler missions. This is particularly true of evolved (sub-giant and giant) stars, and has led various groups to investigate their…
Rotation information for spiral galaxies can be obtained through the observation of different spectral lines. While the Halpha(6563 A) line is often used for galaxies with low to moderate redshifts, it is redshifted into the near-infrared…
Studies of weak gravitational lensing by large-scale structures require the measurement of the distortions introduced to the shapes of distant galaxies at the few percent level by anisotropic light deflection along the line of sight. To…
Detection of the quantum fluctuations by conventional methods meets certain obstacles, since it requires high frequency measurements. Moreover, quantum fluctuations are normally dominated by classical noise, and are usually further…
In a previous paper (Varadi et al., 1999), Random Lag Singular Spectrum Analysis was offered as a tool to find oscillations in very noisy and long time series. This work presents a generalization of the technique to search for common…
Large redshift surveys of galaxies and clusters are providing the first opportunities to search for distortions in the observed pattern of large-scale structure due to such effects as gravitational redshift. We focus on non-linear scales…
