PAWS and POCO: NIR Astrophotonic Instruments for Astronomy
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023 Abstract For near‐infrared ground and space‐based astronomy, compact photonic devices can replace the large bulk optical components in spectrographs, frequency combs, beam combiners, and sky subtraction filters, thus saving cost, reducing volume, weight, and power requirements.

Revisiting the emission line source detection problem in integral field spectroscopic data
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 5, June 2023., 2023 Abstract We present a 3‐dimensional matched filtering approach for the blind search of faint emission‐line sources in integral‐field spectroscopic datasets. The filter is designed to account for the spectrally rapidly varying background noise due to the telluric air glow spectrum.

Effect of the metallicity of the intergalactic medium in the Lyman‐α forest correlation function
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 1-2, January-February 2023., 2023 Abstract The Lyman‐α (Lyα) forest allows to constraint cosmological parameters at redshifts above 1.8$$ 1.8 $$ using the technique of standard rulers determined by baryon acoustic oscillations. This makes it an important tracer for the study of the universe at high redshift.

The Cusp Plasma Imaging Detector (CuPID) CubeSat Observatory: Mission Overview
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 126, Issue 4, April 2021., 2021 Abstract The Cusp Plasma Imaging detector (CuPID) Cube Satellite Observatory is a six‐unit Cube Satellite developed to study macroscale properties of dayside magnetopause reconnection. Reconnection will be studied through imaging spatial and temporal ion dispersion signatures in the magnetospheric cusps.

The Lyman‐α Sky Background as Observed by New Horizons
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 45, Issue 16, Page 8022-8028, 28 August 2018., 2018 Abstract Recent observations of interplanetary medium atomic hydrogen Lyman‐α emission in the outer solar system, made with the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on New Horizons, are presented. The observations include regularly spaced great circle scans of the sky and pointed observations near the downstream and upstream flow directions of interstellar H

Heavy Sterile Neutrino in Dark Matter Searches
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Sterile neutrinos are possible dark matter candidates. We examine here possible detection mechanisms, assuming that the neutrino has a mass of about 50 keV and couples to the ordinary neutrino. Even though this neutrino is quite heavy, it is nonrelativistic with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.1 eV.

Imaging FTS: A Different Approach to Integral Field Spectroscopy
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Imaging Fourier transform spectroscopy (iFTS) is a promising, although technically very challenging, option for wide‐field hyperspectral imagery. We present in this paper an introduction to the iFTS concept and its advantages and drawbacks, as well as examples of data obtained with a prototype iFTS, SpIOMM, attached to the 1.6 m telescope of the ...

The Mitchell Spectrograph: Studying Nearby Galaxies with the VIRUS Prototype
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The Mitchell Spectrograph (a.k.a. VIRUS‐P) on the 2.7 m Harlan J. Smith telescope at McDonald Observatory is currently the largest field of view (FOV) integral field unit (IFU) spectrograph in the world (1.7′ × 1.7′). It was designed as a prototype for the highly replicable VIRUS spectrograph which consists of a mosaic of IFUs spread over a 16 ...

Statistical and Dynamical Decoupling of the IGM from Dark Matter
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 Although the gravitational field in the universe is dominated by dark matter, cosmological observations show that the statistical properties of cosmic baryonic matter are significantly and systematically decoupled from that of the underlying dark matter. The dynamical reason of the decoupling is the difference of the nonlinear evolution of baryon fluid

Primordial Non‐Gaussianity in the Large‐Scale Structure of the Universe
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 Primordial non‐Gaussianity is a potentially powerful discriminant of the physical mechanisms that generated the cosmological fluctuations observed today. Any detection of significant non‐Gaussianity would thus have profound implications for our understanding of cosmic structure formation. The large‐scale mass distribution in the Universe is a sensitive
