We demonstrate wide-angle, broadband and efficient reflection holography by utilizing coupled dipole-patch nano-antenna cells to impose an arbitrary phase profile on of the reflected light. High fidelity images were projected at angles of…
We report the results of the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the solar chromosphere on the southern polar limb. Coordinated observations with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) are also…
Modern interferometric imaging relies on advanced calibration that incorporates direction-dependent effects. Their increasing number of antennas (e.g. in LOFAR, VLA, MeerKAT/SKA) and sensitivity are often tempered with the accuracy of their…

The strongest known correspondence between ALMA 3mm emission and other solar observations is between the H-alpha line width and 3 mm brightness temperature, while the typical 3-5min p-mode oscillations found in many chromospheric…
HH 211 is a highly collimated jet with a chain of knots and a wiggle structure on both sides of a young Class 0 protostar. We used two epochs of Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) data to study its inner jet in the…
