Quantum radio astronomy: Data encodings and quantum image processing

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Emma Elizabeth Tolley

We explore applications of quantum computing for radio interferometry and astronomy using recent developments in quantum image processing. We evaluate the suitability of different quantum image representations using a toy quantum computing image reconstruc ...

Iterative removal of sources to model the turbulent electromotive force

Salim Bennouna, Abhijit Bhausaheb Bendre

We describe a novel method to compute the components of dynamo tensors from direct magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. Our method relies upon an extension and generalization of the standard H & ouml;gbom CLEAN algorithm widely used in radio astronomy to ...

A model for the infrared-radio correlation of main sequence galaxies at gigahertz frequencies and its variation with redshift and stellar mass

Salim Bennouna, Mark Thomas Sargent

Context. The infrared-radio correlation (IRRC) of star-forming galaxies can be used to estimate their star formation rate (SFR) based on the radio continuum luminosity at MHz-GHz frequencies. For its practical application in future deep radio surveys, it i ...

Fast ion generation with ICRF waves and beams in the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator

Mike Machielsen

The largest operating stellarator, Wendelstein 7-X, is of the quasi-isodynamic type. For this design to scale up to a fusion reactor, several criteria must be met, one of them being good fast ion confinement. The latter still has to be tested experimentall ...

Hydrogen Intensity and Real-Time Analysis Experiment: 256-element array status and overview

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Emma Elizabeth Tolley, Carolyn Marie Crichton

The Hydrogen Intensity and Real-time Analysis Experiment (HIRAX) is a radio interferometer array currently in development, with an initial 256-element array to be deployed at the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory Square Kilometer Array site in Sout ...

Subthreshold VO2 vertical switches for large-bandwidth millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz detection

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Fatemeh Qaderi Rahaqi, Ali Gilani, Daesung Park

n-linear impedance characteristics of VO2 offer solutions to highly sensitive radio-frequency (RF), millimeterwave (mm-wave), and terahertz (THz) detectors. We demonstrate high-speed broadband sensibility of miniaturized VO2 switches by utilizing the nonli ...

Development and evaluation of galaxy shape measurement algorithms for radio interferometric data

Vasileios Angelopoulos

The purpose of this Thesis is to develop, test, and characterize different models attempting to tackle the problem of measurement of galaxy shapes applied in interferometric observations. Shape measurement is a tool for estimating the underlying shear due ...

The infrared-radio correlation of star-forming galaxies is strongly M-star-dependent but nearly redshift-invariant since z similar to 4

Salim Bennouna, Shan Jin, Mark Thomas Sargent

Over the past decade, several works have used the ratio between total (rest 8-1000 mu m) infrared and radio (rest 1.4 GHz) luminosity in star-forming galaxies (q(IR)), often referred to as the infrared-radio correlation (IRRC), to calibrate the radio emiss ...

Quantum coherent microwave-optical transduction using high-overtone bulk acoustic resonances

Tobias Kippenberg, Terence Albert Emile Blésin

A device capable of converting single quanta of the microwave field to the optical domain is an outstanding endeavor in the context of quantum interconnects between distant superconducting qubits, but likewise can have applications in other fields, such as ...

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 ...

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 ...

Frequency Division Using a Soliton-Injected Semiconductor Gain-Switched Frequency Comb

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng

By injecting a soliton microcomb into a semiconductor laser that is driven by a sinusoidal current at the subharmonic frequencies of the soliton rate, we demonstrate broadband gain-switched frequency comb generation and low-noise microwave synthesis. (C) 2 ...

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 ...

Quantifying the information impact of future searches for exoplanetary biosignatures

Claudio Grimaldi

One of the major goals for astronomy in the next decades is the remote search for biosignatures (i.e., the spectroscopic evidence of biological activity) in exoplanets. Here we adopt a Bayesian statistical framework to discuss the implications of such futu ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
