Sparsely Sampling the Sky: A Bayesian Experimental Design Approach

open access: yes, 2012
The next generation of galaxy surveys will observe millions of galaxies over large volumes of the universe. These surveys are expensive both in time and cost, raising questions regarding the optimal investment of this time and money.

Gamma Ray Sky Surveys [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997
Prior to the current Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (Compton) mission, no comprehensive all-sky gamma-ray surveys had been performed. There were, however, some surveys performed over limited energy bands and/or over portions of the sky. These include the HEAO-A4 hard X-ray survey and the COS-B and SAS-2 high-energy gamma-ray surveys.

Cool Kitchen: Processing Starch and Eggshell Powder into Sustainable Coatings for Passive Daytime Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A food‐grade cooling composite made from starch and recycled eggshell powder offers a scalable, ultra‐low‐cost solution for passive daytime radiative cooling. Easily prepared using basic kitchen tools, this material empowers communities, even in areas with limited infrastructure, to stay cooler during worsening summer heat waves.

Technosignature Searches with Real-time Alert Brokers

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present an exploration of technosignature research that is possible using real-time alert brokers from surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST).

The SPHEREx Target List of Ice Sources (SPLICES)

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
One of the primary objectives of the SPHEREx mission is to understand the origin of molecules such as H _2 O, CO _2 , and other volatile compounds at the early stages of planetary system formation.

Summary Talk : Multi-Wavelength Sky Surveys [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997
An astronomer's career can be viewed in a 3-dimensional space where the (nearly orthogonal) axes are : – the objects of interest (from planets to the Universe),– techniques (from instrument design to analytic calculations),– the wavelength (from the radio to gamma rays).

Infrared Nanocrystals for Space Application: Hardness to Irradiations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This article investigates infrared HgTe nanocrystals under X‐ray and ion irradiation, revealing remarkable radiation hardness. It uncovers distinct degradation mechanisms and shows that the nanomaterial outperforms integrated electronics. The results position colloidal nanocrystals as promising candidates for resilient space and harsh‐environment ...

Broadband Spectral Modeling of Prompt Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Optical observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) contemporaneous with their prompt high-energy emission are rare, but they can provide insights into the physical processes underlying these explosive events.

Time Domain Explorations With Digital Sky Surveys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
One of the new frontiers of astronomical research is the exploration of time variability on the sky at different wavelengths and flux levels. We have carried out a pilot project using DPOSS data to study strong variables and transients, and are now ...

UV sky surveys

open access: yes, 1998
I review the development of UV and EUV astronomy, covering the spectral range from 5 to 300 nm, with emphasis on sky surveys for discrete sources. I discuss studies which resulted in lists of sources observed by imaging and deliberately omit most spectroscopic studies.
