Scientific verification of Faraday Rotation Modulators: Detection of diffuse polarized Galactic emission

S. Moyerman, E. Bierman, P. A. R. Ade +28

The design and performance of a wide bandwidth linear polarization modulator based on the Faraday effect is described. Faraday Rotation Modulators (FRMs) are solid-state polarizati…

SOPHIE+: First results of an octagonal-section fiber for high-precision radial velocity measurements

F. Bouchy, R. F. Diaz, G. Hébrard +5

High-precision spectrographs play a key role in exoplanet searches and Doppler asteroseismology using the radial velocity technique. The 1 m/s level of precision requires very high…

Accelerating convolutions on the sphere with hybrid GPU/CPU kernel splitting

P. M. Sutter, Benjamin D. Wandelt, Franz Elsner

We present a general method for accelerating by more than an order of magnitude the convolution of pixelated function on the sphere with a radially-symmetric kernel. Our method spl…

Probabilistic positional association of catalogs of astrophysical sources: the Aspects code

Michel Fioc

We describe a probabilistic method of cross-identifying astrophysical sources in two catalogs from their positions and positional uncertainties. The probability that an object is a…
