We use the cyclic figure of merit to determine the likelihood of achieving cyclic deconvolution for 312 pulsars with sub-40 ms spin periods across 15 different telescope-observing frequency combinations. We find that the optimal frequency…

Noise subtraction is a crucial process in gravitational wave (GW) data analysis to improve the sensitivity of interferometric detectors. While linear noise coupling has been extensively studied and successfully mitigated using methods such…

A new method SREAG (spherical rectangular equal-area grid) is proposed to divide a spherical surface into equal-area cells. The method is based on dividing a sphere into latitudinal rings of near-constant width with further splitting each…

The Allan variance (AVAR) was introduced 50 years ago as a statistical tool for assessing of the frequency standards deviations. For the past decades, AVAR has increasingly being used in geodesy and astrometry to assess the noise…

Smokescreen is an open-source Python library for data-vector concealment (blinding) in cosmological analyses. Data-vector blinding works by applying cosmology-dependent shifts to the observed data vector, moving it away from the true…

Space-borne gravitational-wave telescopes are key to extend the observation band below $10\,\mathrm{Hz}$. The use of inter-satellite optical cavities linked by heterodyne interferometry is a promising approach to reach the sensitivity level…

A primary goal of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is to detect and measure the abundance of biosignature molecules, such as water (H2O) and oxygen (O2), in the atmosphere of Earth analogs. This is expected to require deep…

Calibrating large volumes of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data traditionally requires significant human intervention at every stage. While the Common Astronomy Software Applications (CASA) package is the standard data reduction…

In astronomical imaging, the low photon count of exposures necessitates extensive post-processing steps, including contamination removal and denoising. This paper evaluates deep-learning denoising methods that can be trained without clean…

Accurate sky localization is essential for gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy, particularly for multimessenger follow-up and host galaxy identification. For strongly lensed GW events, achieving localization at the level of $\sim…

RS Oph is a recurrent nova, a kind of cataclismic variable that shows bursts in a period approximately shorter than a century. Persistent homology, a technique from topological data analysis, studies the evolution of topological features of…

Atmospheric tomography, the problem of reconstructing atmospheric turbulence profiles from wavefront sensor measurements, is an integral part of many adaptive optics systems. It is used to enhance the image quality of ground-based…

One of the most promising targets for Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) is identifying an individual supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) out of the population of binaries theorized to produce a gravitational wave background (GWB). In this…

Following the recent evidence for a gravitational wave (GW) background found by pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments, the next major science milestone is resolving individual supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs). The detection of…

This paper summarizes theoretical definitions of the relativistic coordinate time scales introduced by the IAU 2000 framework as well as practical aspects of their use. It is argued that the IAU framework already defines relativistic local…

In astronomy, image slicer integral field units (IFUs) are often used in integral field spectrographs to simultaneously record spatial and spectral information. The majority of astronomical instruments, including integral field…

The Taiji mission, a pioneering Chinese space-borne gravitational wave observatory, requires ultra-precise calibration of its gravitational reference sensors (GRSs) to achieve its targeted sensitivity of $3\times10^{-15} \mathrm{\ m\…

The rapid proliferation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations has introduced a new class of radio frequency interference (RFI) that poses a fundamental challenge to modern radio astronomy. In particular, unintended…

The NOTT visitor instrument at the VLTI will characterize hot exozodiacal dust and young Jupiter-like planets at the water snowline via L' band nulling interferometry. The beam combination will be achieved by a four-telescope integrated…

The Simons Observatory (SO) is a new suite of cosmic microwave background telescopes in the Chilean Atacama Desert with an extensive science program spanning cosmology, Galactic and extragalactic astrophysics, and particle physics. SO will…
