Low-resolution spectroscopy is a frequently used technique. Aperture prism spectroscopy in particular is an important tool for large-scale survey observations. The ongoing ESA space mission Gaia is the currently most relevant example. In…
We update a physically-motivated model of radiation damage in the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys/Wide Field Channel, using data up to mid 2010. We find that Charge Transfer Inefficiency increased dramatically before…
Soon after launch, the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS), one of the focal plane instruments on the Chandra X-ray Observatory, suffered radiation damage from exposure to soft protons during passages through the Earth's radiation…
Low-cost sensors measurements are noisy, which limits large-scale adaptability in airquality monitoirng. Calibration is generally used to get good estimates of air quality measurements out from LCS. In order to do this, LCS sensors are…
We present a novel target-based lidar-camera extrinsic calibration methodology that can be used for non-overlapping field of view (FOV) sensors. Contrary to previous work, our methodology overcomes the non-overlapping FOV challenge using a…
Mutual coupling is increasingly important in reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided communications, particularly when RIS elements are densely integrated in applications such as holographic communications. This paper experimentally…
In February, 1997, the second Space Shuttle servicing mission to the Hubble Observatory will install the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS). This new instrument will greatly enhance the spectroscopic capabilities of the Hubble…
