We introduce \emph{Astronomy and Computing}, a new journal for the growing population of people working in the domain where astronomy overlaps with computer science and information…
The Parkes Pulsar Timing Array Project
R. N. Manchester, G. Hobbs, M. Bailes +28
A "pulsar timing array" (PTA), in which observations of a large sample of pulsars spread across the celestial sphere are combined, allows investigation of "global" phenomena such a…
SPTpol: an instrument for CMB polarization measurements with the South Pole Telescope
J. E. Austermann, K. A. Aird, J. A. Beall +58
SPTpol is a dual-frequency polarization-sensitive camera that was deployed on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol will measure the polarization anisotropy of…
The ASTRO-H X-ray Observatory
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +220
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions initiated by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). ASTRO-H will…
The LOFAR radio environment
A. R. Offringa, A. G. de Bruyn, S. Zaroubi +93
Aims: This paper discusses the spectral occupancy for performing radio astronomy with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), with a focus on imaging observations. Methods: We have analys…
Improved Asteroid Astrometry and Photometry with Trail Fitting
Peter Vereš, Robert Jedicke, Larry Denneau +3
Asteroid detections in astronomical images may appear as trails due to a combination of their apparent rate of motion and exposure duration. Nearby asteroids in particular typicall…
A measure of total research impact independent of time and discipline
Alberto Pepe, Michael J. Kurtz
Authorship and citation practices evolve with time and differ by academic discipline. As such, indicators of research productivity based on citation records are naturally subject t…
Fast Holographic Deconvolution: a new technique for precision radio interferometry
Ian Sullivan, Miguel Morales, Bryna Hazelton +48
We introduce the Fast Holographic Deconvolution method for analyzing interferometric radio data. Our new method is an extension of A-projection/software-holography/forward modeling…
Electromagnetic transients as triggers in searches for gravitational waves from compact binary mergers
Luke Zoltan Kelley, Ilya Mandel, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
The detection of an electromagnetic transient which may originate from a binary neutron star merger can increase the probability that a given segment of data from the LIGO-Virgo gr…
