  • Results of drift scanning to optimize the SNR in the mid-infrared
    Chopping and nodding is made to reduce the effects of the time variable components of (a) sky variation and (b) array background in the mid-infrared waveband when observing from the ground. This process, however, has many issues including reduced on-object photon collection time, demands on the secondary mirror, and nodding the telescope to remove

  • Properties of the Hyades, the eclipsing binary HD 27130, and the oscillating red giant ∊ Tauri
    Context. The derivation of accurate and precise masses and radii is possible for eclipsing binary stars, allowing for insights into their evolution. When residing in star clusters, they provide measurements of even greater precision, along with additional information on their properties. Asteroseismic investigations of solar-like oscillations

  • Properties of Iron Primary Cosmic Rays: Results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer
    We report the observation of new properties of primary iron (Fe) cosmic rays in the rigidity range 2.65 GV to 3.0 TV with 0.62 ×10 6 iron nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment on the International Space Station. Above 80.5 GV the rigidity dependence of the cosmic ray Fe flux is identical to the rigidity dependence of the

  • Processing GOTO data with the Rubin Observatory LSST Science Pipelines I: Production of coadded frames
    The past few decades have seen the burgeoning of wide-field, high-cadence surveys, the most formidable of which will be the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to be conducted by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. So new is the field of systematic time-domain survey astronomy; however, that major scientific insights will continue to be obtained

  • Outlier detection of galaxy classification with machine learning
    When studying the classification of galaxies with unsupervised machine learning using the physical information available in data such as the SDSS MaNGA integral field spectroscopic survey, outliers appear in the results. These may result from non-physical issues or confusions in the software, but may also constitute a potent tool to find 'strange'

  • Optimising and comparing source-extraction tools using objective segmentation quality criteria
    Context. With the growth of the scale, depth, and resolution of astronomical imaging surveys, there is increased need for highly accurate automated detection and extraction of astronomical sources from images. This also means there is a need for objective quality criteria, and automated methods to optimise parameter settings for these software
