Astrometry of directly imaged exoplanets with optical interferometry
Optical interferometry has always been seen as a promising but difficult technique for astronomy. Until the year 2018, it was excrucially limited in sensitivity to magnitudes below 10.

An efficient photoelectric X-ray Polarimeter for the study of Black Holes and Neutron Stars [PDF]
In astronomy there are basically four kinds of observations to extract the information carried by electromagnetic radiation: photometry, imaging, spectroscopy and polarimetry.

Incorporating interactive 3-dimensional graphics in astronomy research papers [PDF]
Most research data collections created or used by astronomers are intrinsically multi-dimensional. In contrast, all visual representations of data presented within research papers are exclusively 2-dimensional.

The MEGA Advanced Compton Telescope Project [PDF]
The goal of the Medium Energy Gamma-ray Astronomy (MEGA) telescope is to improve sensitivity at medium gamma-ray energies (0.4-50 MeV) by at least an order of magnitude over that of COMPTEL. This will be achieved with a new compact design that allows for

A Homogenous Set of Globular Cluster Relative Distances and Reddenings [PDF]
We present distance modulus and reddening determinations for 72 Galactic globular clusters from the homogeneous photometric database of Piotto et al. (2002), calibrated to the HST flight F439W and F555W bands.

To detect faint target stars of 22nd magnitude and above, an astronomical exploration project requires its space camera’s readout noise to be less than 5e− with long-time working stability. Due to the limitation of satellite, the traditional CCD detector-

Domesticating Light: Standards and Artisanal Knowledge in Early Astrophysics
Astrophysics was born in the nineteenth century as a “New Astronomy” (in the words of Samuel Langley, 1884), a knowledge built primarily by amateurs who explored deep space by studying the Sun, stars and nebulae.

Coordinated thermal and optical observations of Trans-Neptunian object (20000) Varuna from Sierra Nevada [PDF]
We report on coordinated thermal and optical measurements of trans-Neptunian object (20000) Varuna obtained in January-February 2002, respectively from the IRAM 30-m and IAA 1.5 m telescopes.

The Full Spectrum Galactic Terrarium: MHz to TeV Observations of Various Critters [PDF]
Multi-wavelength studies at radio, infrared, optical, X-ray, and TeV wavelengths have discovered probable counterparts to many Galactic sources of GeV emission detected by EGRET.
