Ideas for Advancing Code Sharing (A Different Kind of Hack Day)
Peter Teuben, Alice Allen, Bruce Berriman +8
How do we as a community encourage the reuse of software for telescope operations, data processing, and calibration? How can we support making codes used in research available for…
The Astrophysics Source Code Library: Where do we go from here?
Alice Allen, Bruce Berriman, Kimberly DuPrie +8
The Astrophysics Source Code Library, started in 1999, has in the past three years grown from a repository for 40 codes to a registry of over 700 codes that are now indexed by ADS.…
Micro-Arcsecond Radio Astrometry
M. J. Reid, M. Honma
Astrometry provides the foundation for astrophysics. Accurate positions are required for the association of sources detected at different times or wavelengths, and distances are es…
All Weather Calibration of Wide Field Optical and NIR Surveys
David L. Burke, Abhijit Saha, Jenna Claver +7
The science goals for ground-based large-area surveys, such as the Dark Energy Survey, Pan-STARRS, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, require calibration of broadband photome…
A Full-sky, High-resolution Atlas of Galactic 12 micron Dust Emission with WISE
Aaron Meisner, Douglas Finkbeiner
We describe our custom processing of the entire Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) 12 micron imaging data set, and present a high-resolution, full-sky map of diffuse Galact…
Detecting cosmic rays with the LOFAR radio telescope
P. Schellart, A. Nelles, S. Buitink +102
The low frequency array (LOFAR), is the first radio telescope designed with the capability to measure radio emission from cosmic-ray induced air showers in parallel with interferom…
XMM-Newton Publication Statistics
J. -U. Ness, A. N. Parmar, L. A. Valencic +5
We assessed the scientific productivity and data usage statistics of XMM-Newton by examining 3272 refereed papers published until the end of 2012 that directly use XMM-Newton data.…
Automatic Classification of Variable Stars in Catalogs with missing data
Karim Pichara, Pavlos Protopapas
We present an automatic classification method for astronomical catalogs with missing data. We use Bayesian networks, a probabilistic graphical model, that allows us to perform infe…
Comprehensive rate coefficients for electron collision induced transitions in hydrogen
Daniel Vrinceanu, Roberto Onofrio, Hossein R. Sadeghpour
Energy-changing electron-hydrogen atom collisions are crucial to regulating the energy balance in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas and relevant to the formation of stellar atmo…
Fitting density models to observational data - The local Schmidt law in molecular clouds
Marco Lombardi, Charles J. Lada, João Alves
We consider the general problem of fitting a parametric density model to discrete observations, taken to follow a non-homogeneous Poisson point process. This class of models is ver…
A Comprehensive X-ray Absorption Model for Atomic Oxygen
T. W. Gorczyca, M. A. Bautista, M. F. Hasoglu +9
An analytical formula is developed to represent accurately the photoabsorption cross section of O I for all energies of interest in X-ray spectral modeling. In the vicinity of the…
Greenland Telescope (GLT) Project: "A Direct Confirmation of Black Hole with Submillimeter VLBI"
M. Nakamura, J. -C. Algaba, K. Asada +20
The GLT project is deploying a new submillimeter (submm) VLBI station in Greenland. Our primary scientific goal is to image a shadow of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) of six bi…
Tiled Array of Pixelated CZT Imaging Detectors for ProtoEXIST2 and MIRAX-HXI
Jaesub Hong, Branden Allen, Jonathan Grindlay +7
We have assembled a tiled array (220 cm2) of fine pixel (0.6 mm) imaging CZT detectors for a balloon borne wide-field hard X-ray telescope, ProtoEXIST2. ProtoEXIST2 is a prototype…
The REgolith X-Ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) for OSIRIS-REx: Identifying Regional Elemental Enrichment on Asteroids
Branden Allen, Jonathan Grindlay, Jaesub Hong +10
The OSIRIS-REx Mission was selected under the NASA New Frontiers program and is scheduled for launch in September of 2016 for a rendezvous with, and collection of a sample from the…
Analytical Alignment Tolerances for Off-Plane Reflection Grating Spectroscopy
Ryan Allured, Randall L. McEntaffer
Future NASA X-ray Observatories will shed light on a variety of high-energy astrophysical phenomena. Off-plane reflection gratings can be used to provide high throughput and spectr…
The High Resolution X-Ray Imaging Detector Planes for the MIRAX Mission
Barbara H. G. Rodrigues, Jonathan E. Grindlay, Branden Allen +5
The MIRAX X-ray observatory, the first Brazilian-led astrophysics space mission, is designed to perform an unprecedented wide-field, wide-band hard X-ray (5-200 keV) survey of Gala…
