Progress towards gravitational-wave astronomy
I will review the most recent and interesting results from gravitational wave detection experiments, concentrating on recent results from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC). I will outline the methodologies utilized in the searches, explain what can be said in the case of a null result, what quantities may be constrained. I will compare these results with prior expectations and discuss the...
متن کاملScientific Visualization in Astronomy: Towards the Petascale Astronomy Era
Astronomy is entering a new era of discovery, coincident with the establishment of new facilities for observation and simulation that will routinely generate petabytes of data. While an increasing reliance on automated data analysis is anticipated, a critical role will remain for visualization-based knowledge discovery. We have investigated scientific visualization applications in astronomy thr...
متن کاملTowards a Resource-Centric Data Network for Astronomy
Over the past decade, astronomers have been using an increasingly larger number of web-based applications and archives to conduct their research. However, despite the early success in creating links across projects and data centers, the promise of a single integrated digital library environment supporting e-science in astronomy has proven elusive. While some of the issues hampering progress in ...
متن کاملDSP-Enabled Radio Astronomy: Towards IIIZW35 Reconquest
In radio astronomy, the radio spectrum is used to detect weak emission from celestial sources. By spectral averaging, observation noise is reduced and weak sources can be detected. However, more and more observations are polluted by man-made radio frequency interferences (RFI). The impact of these RFIs on power spectral measurement ranges from total saturation to subtle distortions of the data....
متن کاملThe Development of Photography in Astronomy
At the beginning of the work of this Association, the great discovery of making pictures by the natural light of the Sun had just been made, and while it aroused a wide-spread interest all over the world at that time, there were few who dreamed of the great future value of photography in the arts and sciences. . . . It is especially gratifying to Americans that the first efforts to utilize the ...
