Estimation of distribution functions, their jumps and interval probabilities under measurement error
Kairat Mynbaev, Carlos Martins-Filho, Chad Brown
We consider the classical additive measurement-error model , where the latent random variable has unknown distribution and the error has a known distribution.…
Visplot: A visibility plot and observation scheduling tool for astronomical observatories
Emanuel Gafton, Illa R. Losada
We present Visplot, a free, open-source, web-based tool for hardware-aware visibility analysis and heuristic scheduling of both sidereal and non-sidereal astronomical observations.…
The WEAVE acquisition and guiding software: pattern recognition-based acquisition and multi-fibre guiding
Emanuel Gafton, Gavin B. Dalton, Don Carlos Abrams +19
We present the architecture, implementation, and on-sky validation of the fully automated acquisition and guiding system (AG) developed for the WEAVE instrument on the William Hers…
WEAVE imaging spectroscopy of NGC 6720: an iron bar in the Ring
R. Wesson, J. E. Drew, M. J. Barlow +23
We present spatially resolved spectroscopic observations of the planetary nebula NGC 6720, the Ring Nebula, taken during the science verification phase of WEAVE, a new instrument m…
The WEAVE-TwiLight-Survey: Expanding WEAVE's Reach to Bright and Low-Surface-Density Targets with a Novel Observing Mode
Thomas Hajnik, Nicholas A. Walton, Giuseppe D'Ago +28
Current-day multi-object spectroscopic surveys are often limited in their ability to observe bright stars due to their low surface densities, resulting in increased observational o…
From simulations to observations. Methodology and data release of mock TNG50 galaxies at 0.3 < z < 0.7 for WEAVE-StePS
A. Ikhsanova, L. Costantin, A. Pizzella +17
The new generation of optical spectrographs (i.e., WEAVE, 4MOST, DESI, and WST) offer unprecedented opportunities for statistically studying the star formation histories of galaxie…
