Speckle statistics in adaptive optics images at visible wavelengths

, 2017
Residual speckles in adaptive optics (AO) images represent a well-known limitation on the achievement of the contrast needed for faint source detection. Speckles in AO imagery can be the result of either residual atmospheric aberrations, not corrected by

The HOSTS Survey—Exozodiacal Dust Measurements for 30 Stars [PDF]

, 2018
The Hunt for Observable Signatures of Terrestrial Systems survey searches for dust near the habitable zones (HZs) around nearby, bright main-sequence stars. We use nulling interferometry in the N band to suppress the bright stellar light and to probe for

Shocks, Winds, and a Torus: the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) Resolves the Active Nucleus of NGC 4151

The Astrophysical Journal
We present mid-infrared (MIR) observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151 using the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI). We took open-loop Fizeau images with 66–104 mas (5.8–9.1 pc) resolution in the N -band (at 8.7 and 10.5  μ m), using ...

Dill Extract Induces Elastic Fiber Neosynthesis and Functional Improvement in the Ascending Aorta of Aged Mice with Reversal of Age-Dependent Cardiac Hypertrophy and Involvement of Lysyl Oxidase-Like-1

Biomolecules, 2020
Elastic fibers (90% elastin, 10% fibrillin-rich microfibrils) are synthesized only in early life and adolescence mainly by the vascular smooth muscle cells through the cross-linking of its soluble precursor, tropoelastin.

Thermal Infrared Imaging of Protoplanetary Disks and Substellar Companions with LBTI

, 2020
The ESO/Breakthrough-sponsored New Earths in the Alpha Centauri Region (NEAR) program recently completed the first ultra-deep stare on Alpha Centauri with the upgraded VISIR-NEAR instrument. In this talk, I will describe the data reduction and scientific results of the NEAR campaign, with a focus on challenges within the existing data and how ...

Protocol for a cluster randomised control trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of treatment for latent tuberculosis infection in recent migrants within primary care: the CATAPuLT trial

BMC Public Health, 2019
Background The identification and treatment of LTBI is a key component of the WHO’s strategy to eliminate TB. Recent migrants from high TB-incidence countries are recognised to be at risk TB reactivation, and many high-income countries have focused on ...

The HOSTS survey for exo-zodiacal dust: preliminary results and future prospects [PDF]

, 2018
The presence of large amounts of dust in the habitable zones of nearby stars is a significant obstacle for future exo-Earth imaging missions. We executed the HOSTS (Hunt for Observable Signatures of Terrestrial Systems) survey to determine the typical ...
