Stellar metallicities beyond the Local Group: the potential of J-band spectroscopy with extremely large telescopes

C. J. Evans, B. Davies, R. -P. Kudritzki +7

We present simulated J-band spectroscopy of red giants and supergiants with a 42m European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), using tools developed toward the EAGLE Phase A instrum…

Progress with the LOFAR Imaging Pipeline

George Heald, John McKean, Roberto Pizzo +14

One of the science drivers of the new Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) is large-area surveys of the low-frequency radio sky. Realizing this goal requires automated processing of the int…

Imprints of magnetic power and helicity spectra on radio polarimetry statistics

H. Junklewitz, T. A. Enßlin

Statistical properties of turbulent magnetic fields in radio-synchrotron sources should imprint on the statistics of polarimetric observables. In search of these imprints, we calcu…
