Experiments with Unit Disk Cover Algorithms for Covering Massive Pointsets
Rachel Friederich, Matthew Graham, Anirban Ghosh +2
Given a set of points in the plane, the Unit Disk Cover (UDC) problem asks to compute the minimum number of unit disks required to cover the points, along with a placement of t…
A Next Generation Low Band Observatory: A Community Study Exploring Low Frequency Options for ngVLA
Greg Taylor, Jayce Dowell, Joe Malins +9
We present a community study exploring the low frequency (5 - 800 MHz) options and opportunities for the ngVLA project and its infrastructure. We describe a Next Generation LOw Ban…
