Interferometry is one of the most powerful experimental tools of modern astrophysics. Some of its methods are considered in view of potential applicability to studies of correlations in multiparticle dynamics.
The main purpose of this paper is to generalize and develop a few basic properties of the innerproduct space on a hypervector space. On this hypervector space we define the norm. Also we establish a important relation between normed…
Fourier synthesis is one of the foundations of physical optics. Spatial Fourier optics is a basis for understanding optical imaging, microscopy, and holography. In conventional Fourier optics, the complex spatial field distribution in the…
Space borne nulling interferometry in the mid-infrared waveband is one of the most promising techniques for characterizing the atmospheres of extra-solar planets orbiting in the habitable zone of their parent star, and possibly discovering…
An introduction to the physics and mathematics of the expanding universe, using no more than high-school level / undergraduate mathematics. Covered are the basics of scale factor expansion, the dynamics of the expanding universe, various…
Optical interferometric imaging enables astronomical observation at extremely high angular resolution. The necessary optical information for imaging, such as the optical path differences and visibilities, is easy to extract from fringes…
At sufficiently low frequencies, no ground-based radio array will be able to produce high resolution images while looking through the ionosphere. A space-based array will be needed to explore the objects and processes which dominate the sky…
Interferometers play an increasingly important role for spatially resolved observations. If employed at full potential, interferometry can probe an enormous dynamic range in spatial scale. Interpretation of the observed visibilities…
In these notes we show that any projective subspace arrangement can be realized as a generalized star configuration variety. This type of interpolation result may be useful in designing linear codes with prescribed codewords of minimum…

This is a brief and gentle introduction, aimed at graduate students, to the subject of model subspaces of the Hardy space.
This is an introduction to the basic elements needed for the measurements and interpretation of data in the millimeter and sub-mm wavelength range. A more complete version will be published in the proceedings of the Saas Fee Winter School…
An afinne-invariant view of generating functions of symplectic transformations of an affine symplectic space is discussed. More generally, it works for symmetric symplectic spaces. The note is completely elementary, but it yields some nice…
The speckle imaging is a photographic technique that resolves objects viewed through severely distorted media. The results are insensitive to the errors caused by apparent size of the isoplanatic patch and the telescope aberrations. In this…
This paper presents a learning-based approach to synthesize the view from an arbitrary camera position given a sparse set of images. A key challenge for this novel view synthesis arises from the reconstruction process, when the views from…
Long baseline diffraction-limited optical aperture synthesis technology by interferometry plays an important role in scientific study and practical application. In contrast to amplitude (phase) interferometry, intensity interferometry --…
Context. The Galactic magnetic field (GMF) has a huge impact on the evolution of the Milky Way. Yet currently there exists no standard model for it, as its structure is not fully understood. In the past many parametric GMF models of varying…
This paper presents a prescription for distilling the information contained in the cosmic microwave background radiation from multiple sky maps that also contain both instrument noise and foreground contaminants. The prescription is…
A lunar orbit interferometer array suffers from a number of systematics. Beyond systematics induced by the imaging algorithm itself and thermal noise considered in Paper I, phase errors due to instrumental inconsistency between receivers,…
This article is written to serve as an introduction and survey of imaging with synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The reader will benefit from having some familiarity with harmonic analysis, electromagnetic radiation, and inverse problems.…
