A high-isolation wideband channelizer for MKID readouts: a custom HLS implementation on RFSoC
Alberto Hernandez Fernandez, David Diaz Martin, Jose Javier Diaz Garcia +4
We present a high-performance channelizer for Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs), designed to mitigate spectral leakage and scalloping loss through a 50% overlapping po…
Photonic integrated circuits for astronomy: A formal description of an integrated photonics-based wavefront sensor (IP-WFS)
Diego Portero-Rodríguez, Hugo García-Vázquez, José Javier Díaz García +3
Context. Solar wavefront sensing has been a challenge for astrophysical instrumentalists, due to the low contrast between the Sun and the sky background compared to night-time obse…
Assessment of PLATO Science Performance
Juan Cabrera, Heike Rauer, Reza Samadi +121
The PLATO mission is scheduled for launch early 2027. In this paper we present an overview of the performance drivers for the mission at the time where all flight models of the cam…
Clifford and quadratic composite operators with applications to non-Hermitian physics
Jose J. Garcia
A variety of physical phenomena, such as amplification, absorption, and radiation, can be effectively described using non-Hermitian operators. However, the introduction of non-unif…
