Data Combination: Interferometry and Single-dish Imaging in Radio Astronomy [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2023
Modern interferometers routinely provide radio-astronomical images down to subarcsecond resolution. However, interferometers filter out spatial scales larger than those sampled by the shortest baselines, which affects the measurement of both spatial and ...

Redback: A Bayesian inference software package for electromagnetic transients [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023
Fulfilling the rich promise of rapid advances in time-domain astronomy is only possible through confronting our observations with physical models and extracting the parameters that best describe what we see.

HAFFET: Hybrid Analytic Flux FittEr for Transients

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The progenitors for many types of supernovae (SNe) are still unknown, and an approach to diagnose their physical origins is to investigate the light-curve brightness and shape of a large set of SNe.

Introducing SOST: An Ultra-Low-Cost Star Tracker Concept Based on a Raspberry Pi and Open-Source Astronomy Software

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Absolute attitude estimation sensors provide high accuracy pointing capabilities to spacecraft, but as developed thus far, they constitute a large fraction of CubeSat mission’s budget.

The Eighteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Targeting and First Spectra from SDSS-V

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The eighteenth data release (DR18) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is the first one for SDSS-V, the fifth generation of the survey. SDSS-V comprises three primary scientific programs or “Mappers”: the Milky Way Mapper (MWM), the Black Hole Mapper (

The Very-high-energy Open Data Format: towards a shared, open data format in very-high-energy astronomy [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Conference on Rebooting Computing, 2023
In very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy, the community is converging towards the use of a common open data format, called"Data formats for Gamma-ray Astronomy", for the high-level data products.

Korg: A Modern 1D LTE Spectral Synthesis Package

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present Korg , a new package for 1D LTE spectral synthesis of FGK stars, which computes theoretical spectra from the near-ultraviolet to the near-infrared, and implements both plane-parallel and spherical radiative transfer.

International standards for software structures in astronomy [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1982
AbstractThe increasing request for astronomical data processing facilities forces the definition of standards for astronomical application software. Separating the application module from the interfaces to the data processing system allows to identify the standard user interaction interface, the standard data storage interface, the standard dedicated ...
