Sky Subtraction for LAMOST [PDF]
Sky subtraction is the key technique in data reduction of multi-fiber spectra. Knowledge of the related instrument character is necessary to determine the method adopted in sky subtraction. In this study, we described the sky subtraction method designed for LAMOST(Large sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope) survey.

A novel ensemble estimation of distribution algorithm with distribution modification strategies
The canonical estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) easily falls into a local optimum with an ill-shaped population distribution, which leads to weak convergence performance and less stability when solving global optimization problems.

An Ultra-long Wavelength Sky Model with Absorption Effect [PDF]
The radio sky at frequencies below $\sim10$ MHz is still largely unknown, this remains the last unexplored part of the electromagnetic spectrum in astronomy. The upcoming space experiments aiming at such low frequencies (ultra-long wavelength or ultra-low frequency) would benefit from reasonable expectations of the sky brightness distribution at ...

Towards a Phenomenology of Shakespeare’s Sky
This paper begins with a phenomenological analysis of the sky as understood by early modern beholders via its synonyms: ‘sky’, ‘welkin’, ‘element’, ‘vault’, ‘heavens’, and ‘firmament’.

Measuring Night-Sky Brightness with a Wide-Field CCD Camera [PDF]
We describe a system for rapidly measuring the brightness of the night sky using a mosaic of CCD images obtained with a low-cost automated system. The portable system produces millions of independent photometric measurements covering the entire sky, enabling the detailed characterization of natural sky conditions and light domes produced by cities. The

Measurement of CT radiation beam width with a pencil ionization chamber and radiopaque mask
Abstract Purpose This study compares fan beam CT scanner radiation beam widths measured with a pencil ionization chamber‐radiopaque mask technique with commonly used film and computed radiography (CR) measurements. Methods For a given fan beam CT scanner x‐ray beam, the ionization chamber‐mask technique determines the radiation beam width by exposing a

Flat parameter-space metric for all-sky searches for gravitational-wave pulsars [PDF]
All-sky, broadband, coherent searches for gravitational-wave pulsars are computationally limited. It is therefore important to make efficient use of available computational resources, notably by minimizing the number of templates used to cover the signal parameter space of sky position and frequency evolution.
