Gaia Data Release 1 Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context. At about 1000 days after the launch of Gaia we present the first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1, consisting of astrometry and photometry for over 1 billion sources brighter than magnitude 20.7. Aims. A summary of Gaia DR1 is presented along with illu ...

All-particle cosmic ray energy spectrum measured with 26 IceTop stations

Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen

We report on a measurement of the cosmic ray energy spectrum with the IceTop air shower array, the surface component of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. The data used in this analysis were taken between June and October, 2007, with 26 su ...

IceTop: The surface component of IceCube

Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen

IceTop, the surface component of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, is an air shower array with an area of 1 km(2). The detector allows a detailed exploration of the mass composition of primary cosmic rays in the energy range from about 10 ...

Interpolating point spread function anisotropy

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Marc Gentile

Planned wide-field weak lensing surveys are expected to reduce the statistical errors on the shear field to unprecedented levels. In contrast, systematic errors like those induced by the convolution with the point spread function (PSF) will not benefit fro ...

Design and performance of the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup

Mathieu Ribordy

The South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS) was built to evaluate the acoustic characteristics of the South Pole ice in the 10-100 kHz frequency range, for the purpose of assessing the feasibility of an acoustic neutrino detection array at the South Pole. T ...

The IceCube data acquisition system: Signal capture, digitization, and timestamping

Xiaoxia Bai

IceCube is a km-scale neutrino observatory under construction at the South Pole with sensors both in the deep ice (InIce) and on the surface (IceTop). The sensors, called Digital Optical Modules (DOMs). detect, digitize and timestamp the signals from optic ...
