The column density towards LMC X-1

open access: yes, 2009
We measure the neutral absorption towards the black hole X-ray binary system LMC X-1 from six archival soft X-ray spectra obtained with the gratings and/or CCD detectors on Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swift.

Planck pre-launch status: calibration of the Low Frequency Instrument flight model radiometers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) on-board the ESA Planck satellite carries eleven radiometer subsystems, called Radiometer Chain Assemblies (RCAs), each composed of a pair of pseudo-correlation receivers.

Inferring Exoplanet Parameters from Transit Timing Variations Using LSTM Networks

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Transit timing variation (TTV) analysis provides a valuable complement to traditional transit and radial-velocity techniques, particularly in compact, near-resonant planetary systems where dynamical interactions amplify timing signals and refine mass and

Determining the Rotation Periods of an Inactive LEO Satellite and the First Korean Space Debris on GEO, KOREASAT 1 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2016
Inactive space objects are usually rotating and tumbling as a result of internal or external forces. KOREASAT 1 has been inactive since 2005, and its drift trajectory has been monitored with the optical wide-field patrol network (OWL-Net).

High Angular Resolution Stellar Imaging with Occultations from the Cassini Spacecraft I: Observational Technique

open access: yes, 2013
We present novel observations utilising the Cassini spacecraft to conduct an observing campaign for stellar astronomy from a vantage point in the outer solar system. By exploiting occultation events in which Mira passed behind the Saturnian ring plane as

Spectral Formation in Accreting X-Ray Pulsars: Bimodal Variation of the Cyclotron Energy with Luminosity

open access: yes, 2012
Accretion-powered X-ray pulsars exhibit significant variability of the Cyclotron Resonance Scattering Feature (CRSF) centroid energy on pulse-to-pulse timescales, and also on much longer timescales. Two types of spectral variability are observed.

Scales of the magnetic fields in the quiet Sun [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Context: The presence of a turbulent magnetic field in the quiet Sun has been unveiled observationally using different techniques. The magnetic field is quasi-isotropic and has field strengths weaker than 100G. It is pervasive and may host a local dynamo.
