The Next Generation Very Large Array: A Technical Overview
Robert J. Selina, Eric J. Murphy, Mark McKinnon +14
The next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) is an astronomical observatory planned to operate at centimeter wavelengths (25 to 0.26 centimeters, corresponding to a frequency range…
The appeal of the gamma family distribution to protect the confidentiality of contingency tables
James Jackson, Robin Mitra, Brian Francis +1
Administrative databases, such as the English School Census (ESC), are rich sources of information that are potentially useful for researchers. For such data sources to be made ava…
The Survey of Water and Ammonia in the Galactic Center (SWAG): Molecular Cloud Evolution in the Central Molecular Zone
Nico Krieger, Jürgen Ott, Henrik Beuther +21
The Survey of Water and Ammonia in the Galactic Center (SWAG) covers the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way at frequencies between 21.2 and 25.4 GHz obtained at the Aust…
Characterizing the properties of cluster precursors in the MALT90 survey
Yanett Contreras, Jill M. Rathborne, Andres Guzman +4
In the Milky Way there are thousands of stellar clusters each harboring from a hundred to a million stars. Although clusters are common, the initial conditions of cluster formation…
Obtaining -differential privacy guarantees when using a Poisson mechanism to synthesize contingency tables
James Jackson, Robin Mitra, Brian Francis +1
We show that differential privacy type guarantees can be obtained when using a Poisson synthesis mechanism to protect counts in contingency tables. Specifically, we show how to obt…
The Bones of the Milky Way
Alyssa A. Goodman, Joao Alves, Christopher N. Beaumont +8
The very long and thin infrared dark cloud "Nessie" is even longer than had been previously claimed, and an analysis of its Galactic location suggests that it lies directly in the…
