Intensity-sensitive Quality Assessment of Extended Sources in Astronomical Images

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Radio astronomy studies the Universe by observing the radio emissions of celestial bodies. Different methods can be used to recover the sky brightness distribution (SBD), which describes the distribution of celestial sources from recorded data, with the ...

SkuareView: Client-Server Framework for Accessing Extremely Large Radio Astronomy Image Data

open access: yes, 2012
The new wide-field radio telescopes, such as: ASKAP, MWA, and SKA; will produce spectral-imaging data-cubes (SIDC) of unprecedented volume. This requires new approaches to managing and servicing the data to the end-user.

Automated Detection of Galactic Rings from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Images

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Morphological features in galaxies—like spiral arms, bars, rings, and tidal tails, etc.—carry information about their structure, origin, and evolution.

Data Compression in the Petascale Astronomy Era: a GERLUMPH case study

open access: yes, 2015
As the volume of data grows, astronomers are increasingly faced with choices on what data to keep -- and what to throw away. Recent work evaluating the JPEG2000 (ISO/IEC 15444) standards as a future data format standard in astronomy has shown promising ...

The Dark Energy Survey Data Management System

open access: yes, 2008
The Dark Energy Survey collaboration will study cosmic acceleration with a 5000 deg2 griZY survey in the southern sky over 525 nights from 2011-2016. The DES data management (DESDM) system will be used to process and archive these data and the resulting ...

Visualization and Processing of Anisotropy in Imaging, Geometry, and Astronomy (Dagstuhl Seminar 18442)

open access: yesDagstuhl Reports, 2019
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 18442, "Visualization and Processing of Anisotropy in Imaging, Geometry, and Astronomy", which was attended by 30 international researchers, both junior and senior. Directional preferences or anisotropies are encountered across many different disciplines and spatial scales.

Astronomical Image Acquisition Using an Improved Track and Accumulate Method

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2017
“Track and Accumulate” (T&A) is an alternative astronomical image capture method where exposures are combined during imaging by aligning on a reference star.

Grids and the Virtual Observatory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We consider several projects from astronomy that benefit from the Grid paradigm and associated technology, many of which involve either massive datasets or the federation of multiple datasets.

Shape: A 3D Modeling Tool for Astrophysics

open access: yes, 2010
We present a flexible interactive 3D morpho-kinematical modeling application for astrophysics. Compared to other systems, our application reduces the restrictions on the physical assumptions, data type and amount that is required for a reconstruction of ...

A Centroiding Algorithm for Point-source Trails

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Astrometric measurements are significantly challenged by the relative motion between the point source and the telescope, primarily due to the difficulty in accurately determining the position of the point source at the mid-exposure moment.
