The past few decades have seen the burgeoning of wide field, high cadence surveys, the most formidable of which will be the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to be conducted by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. So new is the field of…
The ESO-Spitzer extragalactic Imaging Survey (ESIS) is the optical follow up of the Spitzer Wide-Area InfraRed Extragalactic (SWIRE) survey in the ELAIS-S1 area. This paper presents B, V, R Wide Field Imager observations of the first 1.5…
We present a new Python pipeline for processing data from astronomical long-slit spectroscopy observations recorded with CCD detectors. The pipeline is designed to aim for simplicity, manual execution, transparency and robustness. The goal…
We present the reduction and archiving tools developed for our search for supernovae at intermediate redshifts at ESO as well as the efficiency tests performed. The data reduction recipes developed for the SN candidates selection are…
The aim of the work presented in this paper is to test and optimise supernova detection methods based on the optimal image subtraction technique. The main focus is on applying the detection methods to wide field supernova imaging surveys…
A key tool in the package of software available for the analysis of data from the SPI spectrometer of Integral is the SPIROS system developed at the University of Birmingham. Although intended primarily for the analysis of point sources and…
Simphony is an open-source software package designed for the topological analysis of lattice vibrations based on Wannier tight-binding models. Its primary function is to classify the topology of novel materials by computing bulk and slab…
Three fibre feed integral field units (IFUs), called Slit Mask IFUs (SMI), are being developed in the SAAO fibre-lab for the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS). The smaller, 200 micron fibre IFU (SMI-200) has 309 x 0.9 arcsec diameter spatial…
The recently released Reflex scientific workflow environment supports the interactive execution of ESO VLT data reduction pipelines. Reflex is based upon the Kepler workflow engine, and provides components for organising the data, executing…
The High Angular Resolution Monolithic Optical and Near-infrared Integral field spectrograph (HARMONI) is the visible and near-infrared (NIR), adaptive-optics-assisted, integral field spectrograph for ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT).…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have recently become the leading method for low-light image enhancement (LLIE). However, despite significant progress, their outputs may still exhibit issues such as amplified noise, incorrect white balance, or…
Scientific data reduction on-board deep space missions is a powerful approach to maximise science return, in the absence of wide telemetry bandwidths. The Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) on-board the Solar Orbiter (SO) is the…
Surface tension and contact angle measurements are fundamental characterization techniques relevant to thermal and fluidic applications. Drop shape analysis techniques for the measurement of interfacial tension are powerful, versatile and…
The introduction of infrared arrays for lunar occultations (LO) work and the improvement of predictions based on new deep IR catalogues have resulted in a large increase in the number of observable occultations. We provide the means for an…
This paper presents SPIROS (Streamlined, Precise, Intuitive, and Rapid Optical Simulator), a dedicated optical simulation tool developed for the design and analysis of particle physics detectors. Unlike general-purpose frameworks such as…
Building on prior FAST targeted and blind SETI campaigns toward 33 exoplanet systems, we introduce a wavelet-integrated search pipeline for narrowband technosignature candidates in radio dynamic spectra. At its core, the pipeline uses a…
The Data Handling Pipeline ("Pipeline") has been developed for the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope (Fermi) Large Area Telescope (LAT) which launched in June 2008. Since then it has been in use to completely automate the production of data…
SPHEREx is a NASA infrared astronomy mission that launched on March 12th, 2025 and is operating successfully in low-Earth orbit (LEO). The mission is currently observing the entire sky in 102 spectral channels in four independent all-sky…
Aims. In this paper the optical data of the ESO Deep-Public-Survey observed with the Wide Field Imager and reduced with the THELI pipeline are described. Methods. Here we present 63 fully reduced and stacked images. The astrometric and…
During the past decade, state-of-the-art planet-finder instruments like SPHERE@VLT, coupling coronagraphic devices and extreme adaptive optics systems, unveiled, thanks to large surveys, around 20 planetary mass companions at semi-major…
