Robust 1-norm periodograms for analysis of noisy non-Gaussian time series with irregular cadences: Application to VLBI astrometry of quasars
Valeri V. Makarov, Sébastien Lambert, Phil Cigan +2
Astronomical time series often have non-uniform sampling in time, or irregular cadences, with long gaps separating clusters of observations. Some of these data sets are also explic…

Synchronisation of a tidal binary by inward orbital migration. The case of Pluto and Charon
Michael Efroimsky, Michaela Walterova, Yeva Gevorgyan +3
It is usually taken for granted that mutual synchronisation of a tidal two-body system is attained through tidal recession, assuming the reduced Hill sphere is not reached. However…

Partial Alignment of Astrometric Position Excursions of International Celestial Reference Frame Quasars with Radio Jet Structures
Valeri V. Makarov, Phil Cigan, David Gordon +3
Published analyses of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) data for the sources included in the third International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF3) catalog have revealed obje…
