Faceting for direction-dependent spectral deconvolution
C. Tasse, B. Hugo, M. Mirmont +7
The new generation of radio interferometers is characterized by high sensitivity, wide fields of view and large fractional bandwidth. To synthesize the deepest images enabled by th…
A radio spectral index map and catalogue at 147-1400 MHz covering 80 per cent of the sky
F. de Gasperin, H. T. Intema, D. A. Frail
The radio spectral index is a powerful probe for classifying cosmic radio sources and understanding the origin of the radio emission. Combining data at 147 MHz and 1.4 GHz from the…
Mining the Kilo-Degree Survey for solar system objects
M. Mahlke, H. Bouy, B. Altieri +7

A New Standard for Assessing the Performance of High Contrast Imaging Systems
Rebecca Jensen-Clem, Dimitri Mawet, Carlos A. Gomez Gonzalez +8
As planning for the next generation of high contrast imaging instruments (e.g. WFIRST, HabEx, and LUVOIR, TMT-PFI, EELT-EPICS) matures, and second-generation ground-based extreme a…
Patterned liquid-crystal optics for broadband coronagraphy and wavefront sensing
David S. Doelman, Frans Snik, Nathaniel Z. Warriner +1
The direct-write technology for liquid-crystal patterns allows for manufacturing of extreme geometric phase patterned coronagraphs that are inherently broadband, e.g. the vector Ap…
bRing: An observatory dedicated to monitoring the Pictoris b Hill sphere transit
R. Stuik, J. I. Bailey, P. Dorval +8
Aims. We describe the design and first light observations from the Pictoris b Ring ("bRing") project. The primary goal is to detect photometric variability from the young star…
The Carnegie Supernova Project I: Third Photometry Data Release of Low-Redshift Type Ia Supernovae and Other White Dwarf Explosions
Kevin Krisciunas, Carlos Contreras, Christopher R. Burns +27
We present final natural system optical (ugriBV) and near-infrared (YJH) photometry of 134 supernovae (SNe) with probable white dwarf progenitors that were observed in 2004-2009 as…
The ESO Spectroscopic facility
Luca Pasquini, B. Delabre, R. S. Ellis +3
We present the concept of a novel facility dedicated to massively-multiplexed spectroscopy. The telescope has a very wide field Cassegrain focus optimised for fibre feeding. With a…
Gaia Data Release 1: The archive visualisation service
A. Moitinho, A. Krone-Martins, H. Savietto +31
Context: The first Gaia data release (DR1) delivered a catalogue of astrometry and photometry for over a billion astronomical sources. Within the panoply of methods used for data e…
Automated novelty detection in the WISE survey with one-class support vector machines
A. Solarz, M. Bilicki, M. Gromadzki +3
Wide-angle photometric surveys of previously uncharted sky areas or wavelength regimes will always bring in unexpected sources whose existence and properties cannot be easily predi…
Phase correction for ALMA - Investigating water vapour radiometer scaling:The long-baseline science verification data case study
L. T. Maud, R. P. J. Tilanus, T. A. van Kempen +9
The Atacama Large millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) makes use of water vapour radiometers (WVR), which monitor the atmospheric water vapour line at 183 GHz along the line of si…
A high resolution foreground model for the MWA EoR1 field: model and implications for EoR power spectrum analysis
P. Procopio, R. B. Wayth, J. Line +23
The current generation of experiments aiming to detect the neutral hydrogen signal from the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) is likely to be limited by systematic effects associated wit…
SiMon: Simulation Monitor for Computational Astrophysics
Penny Xuran Qian, Maxwell Xu Cai, Simon Portegies Zwart +1
Scientific discovery via numerical simulations is important in modern astrophysics. This relatively new branch of astrophysics has become possible due to the development of reliabl…
Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: Survey requirements and mission design
J. Delabrouille, P. de Bernardis, F. R. Bouchet +200
Future observations of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarisation have the potential to answer some of the most fundamental questions of modern physics and cosmology. In this p…
Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: The Instrument
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. A. Baselmans +126
We describe a space-borne, multi-band, multi-beam polarimeter aiming at a precise and accurate measurement of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The instrument is…
First Light for GRAVITY: Phase Referencing Optical Interferometry for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, M. Accardo +130
GRAVITY is a new instrument to coherently combine the light of the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer to form a telescope with an equivalent 130 m di…
On-sky performance analysis of the vector Apodizing Phase Plate coronagraph on MagAO/Clio2
Gilles P. P. L. Otten, Frans Snik, Matthew A. Kenworthy +9
We report on the performance of a vector apodizing phase plate coronagraph that operates over a wavelength range of m and is installed in MagAO/Clio2 at the 6.5 m Magellan C…
