This paper presents the CosmicWeb-21cm array, a novel radio interferometer designed to overcome the key challenges in 21 cm cosmology. Its core innovations include: (1) a multi-scale nested geometry combining a hexagonal core with…
In scientific and engineering domains, modeling high-dimensional complex systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) remains challenging in terms of physical consistency and numerical stability. However, existing approaches,…
With the rapid advancements in observational technologies and the widespread implementation of large-scale sky surveys, diverse electromagnetic wave data (e.g., optical and infrared) and non-electromagnetic wave data (e.g., gravitational…
Upcoming next-generation sky surveys will detect large number of faint objects with magnitudes larger than 25. When objects are crowded within a limited a field of view, blending becomes unavoidable. Blending leads to the omission of many…
We report the design and functionality of the Murchison Widefield Array Particle Detector Array (MWA PDA), an array of eight particle scintillation detectors deployed to Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory…
Extending the sensitivity of terrestrial gravitational-wave detectors below 20 Hz is a long-standing challenge, limited by ground motion and inertial sensing noise. In this letter, we demonstrate ultra-high-vacuum compatible inertial…
A common task in astronomical research is to estimate the physical parameters (temperature, mass, density etc.) of a gas by using observed line emission. This often requires a calculation of how the radiation propagates via emission and…
We present a library of the major spiral arm models (and maps) of the Galaxy. The package is written in Python, and allows the user to both extract the 2D trace and overplot the spiral arms in Cartesian/Polar coordinates in both…
EllipSect is a user-friendly analysis and measurement tool, implemented in Python, that operates on the imaging data together with the output of the widely used 2D surface-brightness fitting code GALFIT 3. It produces publication-quality…
We examined the long-term behavior of the superbias calibration frames for the Advanced Camera for Surveys Wide Field Channel (ACS/WFC) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Superbias frames are used to remove detector-level bias…
This work investigates symbolic regression (SR) as an interpretable alternative to black-box machine learning for the classification of stars, galaxies, and quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 17 (SDSS DR17). We conduct a…
The early evolution of unstable hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic equilibria is often governed by a few dominant linear eigenmodes. We investigate whether initialising a simulation with a superposition of linear eigenmodes that contains…
The Solar Blind Channel (SBC) typically exhibits elevated dark rate levels at temperatures exceeding 25.5{\deg}C. However, instances of rapid dark rate increases have been observed before the detector reaches this threshold. To more closely…
In our study spanning 2015-2021, we examined sink pixels (SPs) in the Advanced Camera for Surveys Wide Field Channel (ACS/WFC) using dark and SP reference files. SPs are pixels with values $\le$ $-10$ electrons below the local background of…
Gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy has advanced our understanding of compact mergers through instruments like the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). However, the extreme sensitivity required for these detections…
The CCAT Observatory's primary science instrument, Prime-Cam, is nearing readiness for deployment to the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. When fully deployed, Prime-Cam will field…
As the data volume of astronomical imaging surveys rapidly increases, traditional methods for image anomaly detection, such as visual inspection by human experts, are becoming impractical. We introduce a machine-learning-based approach to…
A superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), functioning as a nonlinear response device, typically requires the incorporation of a flux-locked loop (FLL) circuit to facilitate linear amplification of the current signal transmitted…
Using advanced machine learning techniques, we developed a method for reconstructing precisely the arrival direction and energy of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays from the voltage traces they induced on ground-based radio detector arrays. In…
The era of large astronomical surveys generates massive image catalogs requiring efficient and secure access, particularly during pre-publication periods where data confidentiality and integrity are paramount. While Findable, Accessible,…
