A fault detection and isolation method for satellite rate gyros is proposed based on using the satellite-to-satellite measurements such as relative position beside orbit parameters of the primary satellite. By finding a constant of motion,…
A new series of Earth occultation observations has been started in 2012 to refine the determination of the cosmic X-ray background by the INTEGRAL mission. We show here that the new detector lightcurves in the 3 to 160 keV range differ from…
Although the differential rotation rate on the solar surface has long been studied using optical and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) observations, associating these measurements to specific atmospheric heights remains challenging due to the…
Understanding diffuse Galactic radio emission is interesting both in its own right and for minimizing foreground contamination of cosmological measurements. Cosmic Microwave Background experiments have focused on frequencies > 10 GHz,…
The gamma-ray astronomical observatory INTEGRAL, succesfully launched on 17th October 2002, carries two large gamma-ray telescopes. One of them is the coded-mask imaging gamma-ray telescope onboard the INTEGRAL satellite (IBIS) which…
The GREAT observations need frequency-selective calibration across the passband for the residual atmospheric opacity at flight altitude. At these altitudes the atmospheric opacity has both narrow and broad spectral features. To determine…
Retrieval of rain from Passive Microwave radiometers data has been a challenge ever since the launch of the first Defense Meteorological Satellite Program in the late 70s. Enormous progress has been made since the launch of the Tropical…
Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) was launched on May 22, 2018. It carries the Laser Ranging Interferometer (LRI) as a technology demonstrator that measures the inter-satellite range with nanometer precision using…
To achieve the sensitivity required to detect signals from neutral hydrogen from the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionisation it is critical to have a well-calibrated instrument which has a stable calibration over the course of the…
This paper proposes a new method for estimating the contribution from different ionospheric regions to the response of total electron content variations to the solar flare which uses the effect of partial shadowing of the atmosphere by the…
Using the international ground-based network of two-frequency receivers of the GPS navigation system provides a means of carrying out a global, continuous and fully-computerized monitoring of phase fluctuations of signals from…
An analysis of noise attenuation during eighty solar flares between 2013 and 2017 was carried out at frequencies 8-20 MHz using thirty-four SuperDARN radars and the EKB ISTP SB RAS radar. The attenuation was determined on the basis of noise…
The canonical methods for gravitational wave detection are ground- and space-based laser interferometry, pulsar timing, and polarization of the cosmic microwave background. But as has been suggested by numerous investigators, astrometry…
We developed a waveguide-type dual-polarization sideband-separating SIS receiver system of the 100-GHz band for the 45-m radio telescope at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory, Japan. This receiver is composed of an ortho-mode transducer and two…
Short-term forecasting of airport fog (visibility < 1.0 km) presents challenges in geographic generalization because many machine learning models rely on location-specific features and fail to transfer across sites. This study investigates…
We compared several techniques for calibrating angular separation between wide (>1 arcsec) pairs. These techniques are (i) reference pair calibration using {\alpha} Cen AB orbital parameters, (ii) the video drift method, and (iii) the…
The Laser Ranging Interferometer (LRI) instrument on the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) Follow-On mission has provided the first laser interferometric range measurements between remote spacecraft, separated by approximately…
We present the Bayesian Global Sky Model (B-GSM), a new absolutely calibrated model of the diffuse Galactic foreground at frequencies below 408 MHz. We assemble a dataset of publicly available diffuse emission maps at frequencies between 45…
Comparing the number of clear nights (cloud free) available for astronomical observations is a critical task because it should be based on homogeneous methodologies. Current data are mainly based on different judgements based on observer…
Rain attenuates Ku-band satellite signals by up to 20~dB, encoding precipitation information along the Earth-space slant path. This paper derives the Bayesian Cram\'{e}r-Rao bound (BCRB) for rain rate estimation from LEO broadband OFDM…
