A Nonrepeating Fast Radio Burst in a Dwarf Host Galaxy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the discovery of an as yet nonrepeating fast radio burst (FRB), FRB 20210117A, with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), as a part of the Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transients Survey.

Photonic lanterns

open access: yesNanophotonics, 2013
Multimode optical fibers have been primarily (and almost solely) used as “light pipes” in short distance telecommunications and in remote and astronomical spectroscopy.

The Gravitational-wave Background Null Hypothesis: Characterizing Noise in Millisecond Pulsar Arrival Times with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The noise in millisecond pulsar (MSP) timing data can include contributions from observing instruments, the interstellar medium, the solar wind, solar system ephemeris errors, and the pulsars themselves.

Evidence for the Disruption of a Planetary System During the Formation of the Helix Nebula

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2022
The persistence of planetary systems after their host stars evolve into their post-main-sequence phase is poorly constrained by observations. Many young white dwarf systems exhibit infrared excess emission and/or spectral absorption lines associated with

Resurrection of Type IIL Supernova 2018ivc: Implications for a Binary Evolution Sequence Connecting Hydrogen-rich and Hydrogen-poor Progenitors

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Long-term observations of synchrotron emission from supernovae (SNe), covering more than a year after the explosion, provide a unique opportunity to study the poorly understood evolution of massive stars in the final millennium of their lives via changes

Search for an Isotropic Gravitational-wave Background with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Pulsar timing arrays aim to detect nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). A background of GWs modulates pulsar arrival times and manifests as a stochastic process, common to all pulsars, with a signature spatial correlation.

Fabricating waveguide Bragg gratings (WBGs) in bulk materials using ultrashort laser pulses

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page 743-763, March 2017., 2017
Abstract Optical waveguide Bragg gratings (WBGs) can be created in transparent materials using femtosecond laser pulses. The technique is conducted without the need for lithography, ion‐beam fabrication methods, or clean room facilities. This paper reviews the field of ultrafast laser‐inscribed WBGs since its inception, with a particular focus on ...
