Data reduction methods for single-mode optical interferometry - Application to the VLTI two-telescopes beam combiner VINCI [PDF]
The interferometric data processing methods that we describe in this paper use a number of innovative techniques. In particular, the implementation of the wavelet transform allows us to obtain a good immunity of the fringe processing to false detections ...

Reliable random error estimation in the measurement of line-strength indices [PDF]
We present a new set of accurate formulae for the computation of random errors in the measurement of atomic and molecular indices. The new expressions are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.
