Stray radiation is a considerable challenge for radio telescopes, requiring careful assessment due to its effects. This is crucial when the strong background flux from side lobes significantly affects the total flux, especially for extended…

Stellar spectra encode key information on the physical properties and chemical compositions of stars. Accurate stellar parameter determination is essential for addressing major questions such as galaxy and stellar evolution. Large-scale…

The direct imaging of potentially habitable exoplanets is one prime science case for high-contrast imaging instruments on extremely large telescopes. Most such exoplanets orbit close to their host stars, where their observation is limited…

Accurate determination of fireball direction is essential for retrieving trajectories and velocities. Errors in these measurements have significant implications, affecting the calculated pre-impact orbit, influencing mass estimates, and…

LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, due to launch mid-2035, is a large class space mission by the European Space Agency (ESA). In partnership with NASA and ESA-member states, ESA is on track to launch what is expected to be the…

Building on the success of the French-Chinese SVOM mission, our consortium proposes CATCH (Chasing All Transients Constellation of Hunters), targeting Gamma-Ray Bursts and X-ray transients. Its first step, CATCH-PM (Precursor Mission),…

Accurate simulation of astronomical observations is a critical element for any modern analyses, be it to measure event rates, analyses population properties, validate or train pipelines, account for selection effects, or correct biases. We…

Orbital inclination is crucial in determining the mass of the binary. The astrometric excess noise contain the orbital motion information, which can be used to constrain the inclination. We aim to constrain the orbital inclination of a…

Hubble's long, stable astrometric baseline creates a rare opportunity for discovery in the Local Group and beyond. Many nearby galaxies, streams, and star clusters already have archival first-epoch imaging in hand, so future HST…

We present an unsupervised, data-driven framework for rapid characterisation of astronomical photometric time series using a Multi-Time Attention Network. The model learns time-aware latent representations directly from irregular, partial…

This white paper presents an analysis of Astro2020 science priorities and NASA's future astrophysics mission architecture, advocating for a coordinated fleet of \$1--2B missions, smaller than typical Flagship observatories, but…

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…

Detecting oscillations in solar and stellar time series is complicated by non-stationary red noise and evolving background emission. Methods based on detrending and AR(1)-based wavelet analysis can introduce spurious periodicities and do…

We present here the design and development of the CAMPAS, the Cassegrain Module for the PARAS-2 spectrograph. PARAS-2 is a high-resolution fiber-fed echelle spectrograph developed for the PRL 2.5m Telescope. The CAMPAS acts as a coupler…

We present an extinction-calibrated, Gaia-source-level QSO candidate catalog for selected fields, designed as a high-purity input catalog for fiber-spectroscopic follow-up rather than as an all-sky QSO census. The deployed selector uses…

Polarimetric observations at sub-GHz frequencies offer unique access to the magnetized universe through Faraday rotation and depolarization studies, but achieving reliable polarization calibration at these frequencies remains challenging.…

KAGRA is a kilometer-scale cryogenic gravitational-wave (GW) detector in Japan. It joined the 4th joint observing run (O4) in May 2023 in collaboration with the Laser Interferometer GW Observatory (LIGO) in the USA, and Virgo in Italy.…

The ExtragaLactic alErt Pipeline for Hostless AstroNomical Transients (ELEPHANT), has been developed as a framework for filtering hostless candidates, in real time alert systems, and implemented as a filter in the Fink broker. ELEPHANT…

Detecting the redshifted global 21-cm signal from the cosmic dawn (CD) remains a major challenge due to strong terrestrial Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), particularly dominated by Frequency Modulation (FM) transmissions in the 88-110…

Gravitational-wave detectors operate in inherently non-stationary environments, requiring robust detector characterization (DetChar) to distinguish instrumental transients from astrophysical signals. Traditional DetChar frameworks typically…
