Integrated Laboratory Demonstrations of Multi-Object Adaptive Optics on a Simulated 10-Meter Telescope at Visible Wavelengths [PDF]
One important frontier for astronomical adaptive optics (AO) involves methods such as Multi-Object AO and Multi-Conjugate AO that have the potential to give a significantly larger field of view than conventional AO techniques.

Mueller Matrix Parameters for Radio Telescopes and their Observational Determination [PDF]
Modern digital crosscorrelators permit the simultaneous measurement of all four Stokes parameters. However, the results must be calibrated to correct for the polarization transfer function of the receiving system. The transfer function for any device can

On the noise-resolution duality, Heisenberg uncertainty and Shannon's information [PDF]
Several variations of the Heisenberg uncertainty inequality are derived on the basis of "noise-resolution duality" recently proposed by the authors. The same approach leads to a related inequality that provides an upper limit for the information capacity

Galactic rotation curves in modified gravity with non-minimal coupling between matter and geometry [PDF]
We investigate the possibility that the behavior of the rotational velocities of test particles gravitating around galaxies can be explained in the framework of modified gravity models with non-minimal matter-geometry coupling. Generally, the dynamics of

Long-term analysis of clear nights using satellite data considering astronomical sites in western China [PDF]
Abstract A large ground-based optical/infrared telescope is being planned for a world-class astronomical site in China. The cloud-free night percentage is the primary meteorological consideration for evaluating candidate sites. The data from GMS and NOAA satellites and the MODIS instrument were utilized in this research, covering the ...

Mortality during Transport of Pigs Subjected to Long Journeys: A Study in a Large European Abattoir
To date, especially in Europe, few studies have analysed the implications of long journeys on pig welfare and economic losses, expressed in terms of transport mortality.

Astronomical observation tasks short-term scheduling using PDDS algorithm [PDF]
A concept of the ground-based optical astronomical observations efficiency is considered in this paper. We believe that a telescope efficiency can be increased by properly allocating observation tasks with respect to the current environment state and probability to obtain the data with required properties under the current conditions.

Automatic Classification of Spectra with IEF-SCNN
Telescopes such as the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey have produced an extensive collection of spectra, challenging the feasibility of manual classification in terms of accuracy and efficiency.
