Towards ALMA2040: An update from the European community and invitation to contribute
Stefano Facchini, Jacqueline Hodge, Jes Jørgensen +27
Over the last 15 years, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has revolutionized astrophysics by providing unprecedented resolution and sensitivity in observing t…
Euclid Structural-Thermal-Optical Performance
Euclid Collaboration, A. Anselmi, R. Laureijs +290
The Euclid system performance is defined in terms of image quality metrics tuned to the weak gravitational lensing (WL) cosmological probe. WL induces stringent requirements on the…
A socio-demographic study of the exoplanet direct imaging community II
Lucie Leboulleux, Niyati Desai, Daniel Echeverri +9
Recognizing and addressing under-representation, exclusion, and problematic behavior within astronomy and astrophysics is crucial. In 2019, a survey was conducted at the Spirit of…
Why every solar eclipse viewing event needs a disco ball
Valerie A. Rapson, Alex Pietrow, Robert J. Cumming +12
Solar eclipses offer unparalleled opportunities for public engagement in astronomy. Large groups of people often gather to view eclipses, and these events require affordable and ea…
SETI Post-Detection Protocols: Progress Towards a New Version
Michael A. Garrett, Kathryn Denning, Leslie I. Tennen +1
The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) SETI Committee has long provided guiding principles for responding to a potential detection of a SETI signal. The foundational Decla…
Ukrainian Wartime Astronomy and its Prospects
Danilo Albergaria, Kateryna Frantseva, Pedro Russo +20
The Russian invasion of Ukraine damaged or compromised astronomical facilities and has prompted the displacement of researchers. A plan to restore Ukrainian astronomy, rooted in a…
Blink and you'll miss it -- How Technological Acceleration Shrinks SETI's Narrow Detection Window
Michael Garrett
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has historically focused on detecting electromagnetic technosignatures, implicitly assuming that alien civilisations are biologi…
Communicating astrobiology and the search for life elsewhere: speculations and promises of a developing scientific field in newspapers, press releases and papers
Danilo Albergaria, Pedro Russo, Ionica Smeets +2
This study examines the communication of astrobiology and the Search for Life Elsewhere (SLE) in academic papers, press releases, and news articles over three decades. Through a qu…
Adding colour to the Zernike wavefront sensor: Advantages of including multi-wavelength measurements for wavefront reconstruction
M. Darcis, S. Y. Haffert, V. Chambouleyron +3
To directly image Earth-like planets, contrast levels of 10^-8 - 10^-10 are required. The next generation of instruments will need wavefront control below the nanometer level to ac…
SOAP: A Python Package for Calculating the Properties of Galaxies and Halos Formed in Cosmological Simulations
Robert McGibbon, John C. Helly, Joop Schaye +2
Modern large scale cosmological hydrodynamic simulations require robust tools capable of analysing their data outputs in a parallel and efficient manner. We introduce SOAP (Spheric…
