Age-dating luminous red galaxies observed with the Southern African Large Telescope [PDF]
We measure a value for the cosmic expansion of $H(z) = 89 \pm 23$(stat) $\pm$ 44(syst) km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ at a redshift of $z \simeq 0.47$ based on the differential age technique.

In-Situ Metrology of Large Segmented Detector Based on Modified Optical Truss
To precisely map cosmic structures and capture time-domain events, future large survey telescopes will be equipped with segmented detectors that greatly expand their field of view. Segment flatness and assembly accuracy will be essential for them to make

The Prospects of Observing Tidal Disruption Events with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope [PDF]
The upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will observe 18,000 deg2 of the southern sky and is expected to discover thousands of transients every night due to its large coverage area and its observing strategy.

Miniature Patch and Slot Microstrip Arrays for IoT and ISM Band Applications
In this paper we present the design and fabrication of a two-antenna array to resonate at 5.8 GHz, a frequency that satisfies a host of applications, especially those associated with the ISM band, but including IoT applications.

Large Binocular Telescope observations of PSR J2043+2740 [PDF]
We present the results of deep optical imaging of the radio/$\gamma$-ray pulsar PSR J2043+2740, obtained with the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). With a characteristic age of 1.2 Myr, PSR J2043+2740 is one of the oldest (non recycled) pulsars detected ...
