Extremely accurate shape measurements of galaxy images are needed to probe dark energy properties with weak gravitational lensing surveys. To increase survey area with a fixed obse…
Feature Selection Strategies for Classifying High Dimensional Astronomical Data Sets
Ciro Donalek, Arun Kumar A., S. G. Djorgovski +7
The amount of collected data in many scientific fields is increasing, all of them requiring a common task: extract knowledge from massive, multi parametric data sets, as rapidly an…
Bayesian inference for pulsar timing models
Sarah J. Vigeland, Michele Vallisneri
The extremely regular, periodic radio emission from millisecond pulsars makes them useful tools for studying neutron star astrophysics, general relativity, and low-frequency gravit…
Electric Field Conjugation with the Project 1640 coronagraph
Eric Cady, Christoph Baranec, Charles Beichman +25
The Project 1640 instrument on the 200-inch Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory is a coronagraphic instrument with an integral field spectrograph at the back end, designed to fin…
The Debris Disk Explorer: a balloon-borne coronagraph for observing debris disks
Lewis C. Roberts, Geoffrey Bryden, Wesley Traub +9
The Debris Disk Explorer (DDX) is a proposed balloon-borne investigation of debris disks around nearby stars. Debris disks are analogs of the Asteroid Belt (mainly rocky) and Kuipe…
First experimental results of very high accuracy centroiding measurements for the neat astrometric mission
A. Crouzier, F. Malbet, O. Preis +19
NEAT is an astrometric mission proposed to ESA with the objectives of detecting Earth-like exoplanets in the habitable zone of nearby solar-type stars. NEAT requires the capability…
PULSE: Palomar Ultraviolet Laser for the Study of Exoplanets
Christoph Baranec, Richard Dekany, Marcos van Dam +1
PULSE is a new concept to augment the currently operating 5.1-m Hale PALM-3000 exoplanet adaptive optics system with an ultraviolet Rayleigh laser and associated wavefront sensor.…
Design and Testing of Kinetic Inductance Detectors Made of Titanium Nitride
P. Diener, H. G. Leduc, S. J. C. Yates +2
To use highly resistive material for Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID), new designs have to be done, in part due to the impedance match needed between the KID chip and the whole 5…
Initial results from a laboratory emulation of weak gravitational lensing measurements
Suresh Seshadri, Charles Shapiro, Timothy Goodsall +5
Weak gravitational lensing observations are a key science driver for the NASA Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST). To validate the performance of the WFIRST infrared dete…
