On the efficiency of techniques for the reduction of impulsive noise in astronomical images [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
The impulsive noise in astronomical images originates from various sources. It develops as a result of thermal generation in pixels, collision of cosmic rays with image sensor or may be induced by high readout voltage in Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD).

Chiral Phonon–Driven Ultrafast Spin Currents in a Non‐Magnetic Ferroelectric

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Broadband terahertz emission spectroscopy shows signatures of ultrafast spin‐current generation in non‐magnetic ferroelectric β$\beta$’‐In2Se3${\rm In}_2{\rm Se}_3$. Reversal of the emitted field upon sample inversion and substitution of Pt with W indicates spin‐Hall‐mediated charge conversion, while polarization‐resolved measurements reveal ...

Observations of the Hydroxyl Radical in C/2013 US10 (Catalina) at 18 cm Wavelength

, 2017
The hydroxyl (OH) radical produced by photodissociation of water molecule is one of the most important indicators for cometary outgassing activity. The absorption lines of the OH radical at 1665 and 1667 MHz in the coma of comet C/2013 US10 Catalina were

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Effect of Nitrogen Doping on the Proton‐Irradiation Stability of Carbon Nanowalls

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Proton irradiation effects in carbon nanowalls are systematically compared with nitrogen‐doped counterparts over a wide fluence range. While both systems maintain structural integrity, nitrogen incorporation alters the functional response under irradiation.

RVSNUpy: A Python Package for Spectroscopic Redshift Measurement Based on Cross Correlation

The Astronomical Journal
We introduce RVSNUpy , a new Python package designed to measure spectroscopic redshifts. Based on inverse-variance-weighted cross correlation, RVSNUpy determines redshifts by comparing observed spectra with various rest-frame template spectra.

Digital Archive of the Astrograph Plates Stored at the Inasan Zvenigorod Observatory

Open Astronomy, 2012
The plate collection of the Zvenigorod 40-cm Carl Zeiss astrograph, obtained in 1972-2003, contains direct photographs of star fields, comets, asteroids, Pluto, and Mars. The electronic library of images from photographic plates was created from scanning

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.
