The Wide Integral Field Infrared Spectrograph: Commissioning Results and On-sky Performance

Suresh Sivanandam, Dae-Sik Moon, R. Elliot Meyer +11

We have recently commissioned a novel infrared ( m) integral field spectrograph (IFS) called the Wide Integral Field Infrared Spectrograph (WIFIS). WIFIS is a unique in…

The first power spectrum limit on the 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen during the Cosmic Dawn at z=20-25 from LOFAR

B. K. Gehlot, F. G. Mertens, L. V. E. Koopmans +19

Observations of the redshifted 21-cm hyperfine line of neutral hydrogen from early phases of the Universe such as Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization promise to open a new wi…

Parallelized Solution Method of the Three-dimensional Gravitational Potential on the Yin-Yang Grid

Marius Almanstoetter, Tobias Melson, H. -Thomas Janka +1

We present a new method for solving the three-dimensional gravitational potential of a density field on the Yin-Yang grid. Our algorithm is based on a multipole decomposition and c…

A case study of hurdle and generalized additive models in astronomy: the escape of ionizing radiation

M. W. Hattab, R. S. de Souza, B. Ciardi +3

The dark ages of the Universe end with the formation of the first generation of stars residing in primeval galaxies. These objects were the first to produce ultraviolet ionizing ph…

AREPO-RT: Radiation hydrodynamics on a moving mesh

Rahul Kannan, Mark Vogelsberger, Federico Marinacci +3

We introduce AREPO-RT, a novel radiation hydrodynamic (RHD) solver for the unstructured moving-mesh code AREPO. Our method solves the moment-based radiative transfer equations usin…

Radio Imaging With Information Field Theory

Philipp Arras, Jakob Knollmüller, Henrik Junklewitz +1

Data from radio interferometers provide a substantial challenge for statisticians. It is incomplete, noise-dominated and originates from a non-trivial measurement process. The sign…

Denoising, deconvolving and decomposing multi-domain photon observations- The D4PO algorithm

Daniel Pumpe, Martin Reinecke, Torsten A. Enßlin

Astronomical imaging based on photon count data is a non-trivial task. In this context we show how to denoise, deconvolve, and decompose multi-domain photon observations. The prima…

Consistency and convergence of simulation schemes in Information field dynamics

Martin Dupont, Torsten Enßlin

We explore a new simulation scheme for partial differential equations (PDE's) called Information Field Dynamics (IFD). Information field dynamics attempts to improve on existing si…

The LiteBIRD Satellite Mission - Sub-Kelvin Instrument

A. Suzuki, P. A. R. Ade, Y. Akiba +149

Inflation is the leading theory of the first instant of the universe. Inflation, which postulates that the universe underwent a period of rapid expansion an instant after its birth…
