Optimization of MKID Noise Performance Via Readout Technique for Astronomical Applications [PDF]
Detectors employing superconducting microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) can be read out by measuring changes in either the resonator frequency or dissipation. We will discuss the pros and cons of both methods, in particular, the readout method

Characterization of mid-infrared intersubband detectors for astronomical heterodyne interferometry
One of the major challenges of mid-infrared astronomical heterodyne interferometry is its sensitivity limitations. Detectors capable of handling several 10 GHz bandwidths have been identified as key building blocks of future instruments. Intersubband detectors based on heterostructures have recently demonstrated their ability to provide such ...

Scalable background-limited polarization-sensitive detectors for mm-wave applications
We report on the status and development of polarization-sensitive detectors for millimeter-wave applications. The detectors are fabricated on single-crystal silicon, which functions as a low-loss dielectric substrate for the microwave circuitry as well ...

Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) Scientific Data Analysis System [PDF]
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Scientific Data Analysis System will process Infrared Astronomical Satellite data and produce a catalog of perhaps a million infrared sources in the sky, as well as other vital information for astronomical ...

Lebed has given an argument that when a hydrogen atom is transported slowly to a different gravitational potential, it has a certain probability of emitting a photon. He proposes a space-based experiment to detect this effect.

Intensity interferometry with more than two detectors? [PDF]
The original intensity interferometers were instruments built in the 1950s and 60s by Hanbury Brown and collaborators, achieving milli-arcsec resolutions in visible light without optical-quality mirrors.

Detectors for the astronomical applications
Astronomical observations are dependent on focal-plane instruments, and detectors continue to play a key role. The detector technology is evolving rather fast with the large-format CMOS and CCD array mosaics, electron-multiplying CCDs, electron-avalanche photodiode arrays, quantum-well IR photon detectors etc. However, the requirements of artifact-free
