Motion Planning for the Robotic Fiber Positioners of the Large Sky Area Multiobject Fiber Spectrocopy Telescope

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopy Telescope (LAMOST) is one of the most effective multiobject spectroscopic instruments. Its survey efficiency is guaranteed by simultaneously positioning multiple fibers via 4000 robotic fiber positioners

Imaging and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets with the Next Generation of Space Telescopes

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
The study and characterization of the exoplanets’ atmospheres and composition is in its infancy. The large facilities that will make feasible to image an exo-Earth are currently under study.

An Optical Distortion Solution for the Keck I OSIRIS Imager

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The astrometric precision and accuracy of an imaging camera is often limited by geometric optical distortions. These must be calibrated and removed to measure precise proper motions, orbits, and gravitationally lensed positions of interesting ...

Telescope Bibliographies: an Essential Component of Archival Data Management and Operations

open access: yes, 2012
Assessing the impact of astronomical facilities rests upon an evaluation of the scientific discoveries which their data have enabled. Telescope bibliographies, which link data products with the literature, provide a way to use bibliometrics as an impact ...

Controlling 3D Contractility via Engineered Fibrous Hydrogel Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A tunable composite contractile assembly (CCA) is developed that can permit or resist contraction without changing cell‐adhesion and density, unlike collagen whose inherent coupling of these ECM cues limits its use as a platform in contractility studies.

The Calibration of theta-phi Fiber Positioners Based on the Differential Evolution Algorithm

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Robotic fiber positioner (RFP) arrays are commonly adopted in multiobject spectroscopic instruments. The positioning accuracy is a common but vital issue for RFP as inaccurate fiber placement may heavily affect the observation performance.

Mapping Nanoscale Buckling in Atomically Thin Cr2Ge2Te6

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Atomic‐resolution STEM is used to resolve nanoscale buckling in monolayer Cr2Ge2Te₆. A noise‐robust image analysis reconstructs three‐dimensional lattice distortions from single plan‐view images, revealing pronounced defect‐driven nm‐scale out‐of‐plane buckling.

Uncovering the Origin of Efficiency Roll‐Off in TADF OLEDs

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
OLEDs based on thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) materials often suffer from a severe drop in efficiency at high brightness levels. This work presents a technique to uncover the source of this efficiency drop, and quantifies the exciton‐exciton and exciton‐polaron annihilation processes responsible for efficiency losses in our TADF OLEDs ...

MOMOS: The Multi-Object MKID Optical Spectrometer Simulator and Data Reduction Package

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The Multi-Object MKID Optical Spectrometer (MOMOS) is a proposed visible wavelength spectrograph that uses microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) targeting an initial resolving power of 3500 for up to five fiber inputs.

Astronomical photonics in the context of infrared interferometry and high-resolution spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2016
We review the potential of Astrophotonics, a relatively young field at the interface between photonics and astronomical instrumentation, for spectro-interferometry.
