Geometrical on-the-fly shock detection in SPH

Alexander M. Beck, K. Dolag, Julius M. F. Donnert

We present an on-the-fly geometrical approach for shock detection and Mach number calculation in simulations employing smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). We utilize pressure gr…

Bayesian Redshift Classification of Emission-line Galaxies with Photometric Equivalent Widths

Andrew S. Leung, Viviana Acquaviva, Eric Gawiser +13

We present a Bayesian approach to the redshift classification of emission-line galaxies when only a single emission line is detected spectroscopically. We consider the case of surv…

Calibrating the absolute amplitude scale for air showers measured at LOFAR

A. Nelles, J. R. Hörandel, T. Karskens +74

Air showers induced by cosmic rays create nanosecond pulses detectable at radio frequencies. These pulses have been measured successfully in the past few years at the LOw Frequency…

The impact of beam deconvolution on noise properties in CMB measurements: Application to Planck LFI

E. Keihänen, K. Kiiveri, V. Lindholm +2

We present an analysis of the effects of beam deconvolution on noise properties in CMB measurements. The analysis is built around the artDeco beam deconvolver code. We derive a low…
