Potential of Radio Telescopes as High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Detectors

Valerie Fiona Domcke

In the presence of magnetic fields, gravitational waves are converted into photons and vice versa. We demonstrate that this conversion leads to a distortion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which can serve as a detector for MHz to GHz gravitationa ...

The e-MERGE Survey (e-MERLIN Galaxy Evolution Survey): overview and survey description

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mark Thomas Sargent

We present an overview and description of the e-MERGE Survey (e-MERLIN Galaxy Evolution Survey) Data Release 1 (DR1), a large program of high-resolution 1.5-GHz radio observations of the GOODS-N field comprising similar to 140 h of observations with enhanc ...

Precision Positioning of Microrobots for Multi-Object Spectrographs

Luzius Gregor Kronig

How does one study the evolution of the Milky Way, or the expansion of the Universe, or explore the mysteries of Dark energy? To investigate these complex topics, astronomers require data, and a great deal of it, in the form of the spectra of stars, galaxi ...

Multiwavelength cross-correlation analysis of the simulated cosmic web

Claudio Gheller

We used magnetohydrodynamical cosmological simulations to investigate the cross-correlation between different observables (i.e. X-ray emission, Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal at 21 cm, HI temperature decrement, diffuse synchrotron emission, and Faraday Rota ...

Ultralow-noise photonic microwave synthesis using a soliton microcomb-based transfer oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Romain Dany Bruno Bouchand

The synthesis of ultralow-noise microwaves is of both scientific and technological relevance for timing, metrology, communications and radio-astronomy. Today, the lowest reported phase noise signals are obtained via optical frequency-division using mode-lo ...

A radio ridge connecting two galaxy clusters in a filament of the cosmic web

Claudio Gheller

Galaxy clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound structures in the Universe. They grow by accreting smaller structures in a merging process that produces shocks and turbulence in the intracluster gas. We observed a ridge of radio emission connect ...

Bistable silicon photonic MEMS switches

We present the design of a non-volatile, bistable silicon photonic MEMS switch. The switch architecture builds on our previously demonstrated silicon photonic MEMS switch unit cell, using vertically movable adiabatic couplers. We here propose to exploit co ...

Sparse Spline Approximation on the Hypersphere by Generalised Total Variation Basis Pursuit

Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Many scientific inquiries in natural sciences involve approximating a spherical field –namely a scalar quantity defined over a continuum of directions– from generalised samples of the latter. Typically, a convex optimisation problem is formulated in terms ...

Molecular gas in radio galaxies in dense megaparsec-scale environments at z=0.4-2.6

Gianluca Castignani

Context. Low luminosity radio galaxies (LLRGs) typically reside in dense megaparsec-scale environments and are often associated with brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). They are an excellent tool to study the evolution of molecular gas reservoirs in giant e ...

Low-dimensional data embedding for scalable astronomical imaging in the SKA telescope era

Vijay Kartik

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences known to humanity. We have been studying celestial objects for millennia, and continue to peer deeper into space in our thirst for knowledge about our origins and the universe that surrounds us. Radio astronomy -- ob ...

Towards More Accurate Radio Telescope Images

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Radio interferometry usually compensates for high levels of noise in sensor/antenna electronics by throwing data and energy at the problem: observe longer, then store and process it all. We propose instead a method to remove the noise explicitly before ima ...
