We present a new procedure rooted in deep learning to construct science images from data cubes collected by astronomical instruments using HxRG detectors in low-flux regimes. It improves on the drawbacks of the conventional algorithms to…
Near-infrared array detectors, like the \JWST NIRSpec's Teledyne's H2RGs, often provide reference pixels and a reference output. These are used to remove correlated noise. Improved Reference Sampling and Subtraction (\IRSSquare, pronounced…
We investigate the effect of line of sight temperature variations and noise on two commonly used methods to determine dust properties from dust continuum observations of dense cores. One method employs a direct fit to a modified blackbody…
Most optical and IR spectra are now acquired using detectors with finite-width pixels in a square array. This paper examines the effects of such pixellation, using computed simulations to illustrate the effects which most concern the…
Sub-percent level accuracy in shear measurement is required by the Stage-IV weak lensing surveys. One important challenge is about suppressing the shear bias on source images of low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR$\lesssim10$). Previously, it…
Remotely measuring subsurface water currents from imagery of the wave field has become a much-used technique. We study the biases and errors in such measurements due to spectral leakage, and suggest mitigating procedures. Deviations between…
Purpose: When comparing different scans of the same radiochromic film, several patterns can be observed. These patterns are caused by different sources of uncertainty, which affect the repeatability of the scanner. The purpose of this work…
We analyse the first measurements from precision weak lensing (PWL): a new methodology for measuring individual galaxy-galaxy weak lensing through velocity information. Our goal is to understand the observed shear distribution from PWL,…
We study active array imaging of small but strong scatterers in homogeneous media when multiple scattering between them is important. We use the Foldy-Lax equations to model wave propagation with multiple scattering when the scatterers are…
"Spin noise spectroscopy" (SNS) is a powerful optical technique for probing electron and hole spin dynamics that is based on detecting their intrinsic and random fluctuations while in thermal equilibrium, an approach guaranteed by the…
Diffusion posterior sampling solves inverse problems by combining a pretrained diffusion prior with measurement-consistency guidance, but it often fails to recover fine details because measurement terms are applied in a manner that is…
Cosmological observables rely heavily on summary statistics such as two-point correlation functions. In many practical cases (e.g. the weak-lensing cosmic shear), those correlation functions are estimated from a finite, discrete sample of…
We investigate the problem of scanning and prediction ("scandiction", for short) of multidimensional data arrays. This problem arises in several aspects of image and video processing, such as predictive coding, for example, where an image…
Given fruitful works in the image monitoring, there is a lack of data-driven tools guiding the practitioners to select proper monitoring procedures. The potential model mismatch caused by the arbitrary selection could deviate the empirical…
Nonlinearity in many systems is heavily dependent on component variation and environmental factors such as temperature. This is often overcome by keeping signals close enough to the device's operating point that it appears approximately…
Sparse arrays have emerged as a popular alternative to the conventional uniform linear array (ULA) due to the enhanced degrees of freedom (DOF) and superior resolution offered by them. In the passive setting, these advantages are realized…
The present generation of weak lensing surveys will be superseded by surveys run from space with much better sky coverage and high level of signal to noise ratio, such as SNAP. However, removal of any systematics or noise will remain a…
We consider reflector imaging in a weakly random waveguide. We address the situation in which the source is farther from the reflector to be imaged than the energy equipartition distance, but the receiver array is closer to the reflector to…
In this paper, we review state-of-the-art methods for feature selection in statistics with an application-oriented eye. Indeed, sparsity is a valuable property and the profusion of research on the topic might have provided little guidance…
