The aim of this work is to quantify the amount of Earth stray light that reaches the CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite) detector. It will carry out follow-up measurements on transiting planets. This requires exquisite data that…
This paper presents a novel saturation aware space variant blind image deblurring framework designed to address challenges posed by saturated pixels in deblurring under high dynamic range and low light conditions. The proposed approach…
X-ray polarimetry-timing is the characterization of rapid variability in the X-ray polarization degree and angle. As for the case of spectral-timing, it provides causal information valuable for reconstructing indirect maps of the vicinity…
Serial crystallography experiments routinely produce thousands of diffraction patterns from crystals in random orientations. To turn this stream of images into a usable dataset, each pattern must be indexed before integration and merging…
Delayed target response in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging can be obscured by the range-delay ambiguity and speckle. To analyze the range-delay ambiguity, one extends the standard SAR formulation and allows both the target…
The direct detection and characterization of exoplanets will be a major scientific driver over the next decade, involving the development of very large telescopes and requires high-contrast imaging close to the optical axis. Some complex…
When a macroscopic-sized non-crystalline sample is illuminated using coherent x-ray radiation, a bifurcation of photon energy flow may occur. The coarse-grained complex refractive index of the sample may be considered to attenuate and…
Photometric stereo (PS) techniques nowadays remain constrained to an ideal laboratory setup where modeling and calibration of lighting is amenable. To eliminate such restrictions, we propose an efficient principled variational approach to…
We present a perturbative technique for modeling the scattering of light by a nonlinear material. This approach eliminates the need for an iterative algorithm to solve the fully coupled nonlinear problem. We demonstrate its effectiveness in…
The current modelling of single microlensing light curves neglects the possibility that only a fraction of the light is due to the lensed star, the remaining being due to a close, unresolved blend, which may be related or unrelated to the…
The surface figure of x-ray mirrors can be improved by differential deposition of thin films. To achieve the required corrections, WSi2 layers of variable thickness were deposited through beam-defining apertures of different openings. The…
The deflection of light in the strong field limit is an important test for alternative theories of gravity. However, solutions for the metric that allow for analytic computations are not always available. We implement a hybrid…
Multiple reflection of X-rays may be important when an accretion disc and its hot corona have a complicated geometry, or if returning radiation due to gravitational light bending is important, or in emission from a funnel such as proposed…
The advent of neural and Gaussian-based radiance field methods have achieved great success in the field of novel view synthesis. However, specular reflection remains non-trivial, as the high frequency radiance field is notoriously difficult…
Fresnel theory is used to derive the complex electric-fields above and below an X-ray reflecting interface that separates two materials with differing indices of refraction. The interference between the incident and reflected waves produces…
Reflective appearance, especially strong and typically near-field specular reflections, poses a fundamental challenge for accurate surface reconstruction and novel view synthesis. Existing Gaussian splatting methods either fail to model…
The X-ray spectra of accreting stellar-mass black hole systems exhibit spectral features due to reflection, especially broad iron K alpha emission lines. We investigate the reflection by the accretion disc that can be expected in the…
Saliency modulation has significant potential for various applications. In our pursuit of implementing saliency modulation for optical see-through near-eye displays, we decided to introduce a blur effect to reduce the sharpness of specific…
The imaging problem of a specular reflector is revisited. Retaining terms through second order in the reflector surface expansion, we derive the form of the aberration-limiting aperture for arbitrary magnification assuming no bandwidth…
Dark-field X-ray imaging is a novel modality which visualises scattering from unresolved microstructure. Most dark-field imaging techniques rely on crystals or structured illumination, but recent work has shown that dark-field effects are…
