Mid-IR cosmological spectrophotometric surveys from space: Measuring AGN and star formation at the Cosmic Noon with a SPICA-like mission
Luigi Spinoglio, Sabrina Mordini, Juan Antonio Fernandez-Ontiveros +31
We use the SPace Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) project as a template to demonstrate how deep spectrophotometric surveys covering large cosmological volu…
The Submillimetre Universe
Douglas Scott, Pauline Barmby, Pierre Bastien +19
Submillimetre continuum radiation allows us to probe cold objects, particularly the earliest, dusty phases of star formation, high-redshift galaxies and circumstellar disks. The su…
An update on the SCUBA-2 project
Michael Audley, Wayne Holland, Trevor Hodson +16
SCUBA-2, which replaces SCUBA (the Submillimeter Common User Bolometer Array) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in 2006, is a large-format bolometer array for submillimet…
Herschel SPIRE FTS Relative Spectral Response Calibration
Trevor Fulton, Rosalind Hopwood, Jean-Paul Baluteau +9
Herschel/SPIRE Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) observations contain emission from both the Herschel Telescope and the SPIRE Instrument itself, both of which are typically orde…
Relative pointing offset analysis of calibration targets with repeated observations with Herschel-SPIRE Fourier-Transform Spectrometer
Ivan Valtchanov, Rosalind Hopwood, Edward Polehampton +9
We present a method to derive the relative pointing offsets for SPIRE Fourier-Transform Spectrometer (FTS) solar system object (SSO) calibration targets, which were observed regula…
EYEORG: A Platform For Crowdsourcing Web Quality Of Experience Measurements
Matteo Varvello, Jeremy Blackburn, David Naylor +1
Tremendous effort has gone into the ongoing battle to make webpages load faster. This effort has culminated in new protocols (QUIC, SPDY, and HTTP/2) as well as novel content deliv…
To HTTP/2, or Not To HTTP/2, That Is The Question
Matteo Varvello, Kyle Schomp, David Naylor +3
As of February, 2015, HTTP/2, the update to the 16-year-old HTTP 1.1, is officially complete. HTTP/2 aims to improve the Web experience by solving well-known problems (e.g., head o…
Herschel SPIRE FTS Spectral Mapping Calibration
Dominique Benielli, Edward Polehampton, Rosalind Hopwood +12
The Herschel SPIRE Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) performs spectral imaging in the 447-1546 GHz band. It can observe in three spatial sampling modes: sparse mode, with a sing…
