Bistable silicon photonic MEMS switches

We present the design of a non-volatile, bistable silicon photonic MEMS switch. The switch architecture builds on our previously demonstrated silicon photonic MEMS switch unit cell, using vertically movable adiabatic couplers. We here propose to exploit co ...

Low-dimensional data embedding for scalable astronomical imaging in the SKA telescope era

Vijay Kartik

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences known to humanity. We have been studying celestial objects for millennia, and continue to peer deeper into space in our thirst for knowledge about our origins and the universe that surrounds us. Radio astronomy -- ob ...

Towards More Accurate Radio Telescope Images

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Nezihe Merve Gürel

Radio interferometry usually compensates for high levels of noise in sensor/antenna electronics by throwing data and energy at the problem: observe longer, then store and process it all. We propose instead a method to remove the noise explicitly before ima ...

Robust sparse image reconstruction of radio interferometric observations with PURIFY

Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Jason Douglas McEwen

Next-generation radio interferometers, such as the Square Kilometre Array, will revolutionize our understanding of the Universe through their unprecedented sensitivity and resolution. However, to realize these goals significant challenges in image and data ...

Looking beyond Pixels

Hanjie Pan

Sparse recovery is a powerful tool that plays a central role in many applications, including source estimation in radio astronomy, direction of arrival estimation in acoustics or radar, super-resolution microscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Conventional a ...

One-step solution to local tie vector determination at co-located GNSS/VLBI sites

Jean-Philippe Lucien Montillet

The local tie vector, which connects the different space geodetic techniques at a co-located site, plays an important role in the realization of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). This paper presents a new method to determine the tie vec ...

LEAP: Looking beyond pixels with continuous-space EstimAtion of Point sources

Martin Vetterli, Paul Hurley, Thierry Blu, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Hanjie Pan

Context. Two main classes of imaging algorithms have emerged in radio interferometry: the CLEAN algorithm and its multiple variants, and compressed-sensing inspired methods. They are both discrete in nature, and estimate source locations and intensities on ...

Denoising radio interferometric images by subspace clustering

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Nezihe Merve Gürel

Radio interferometry usually compensates for high levels of noise in sensor/antenna electronics by throwing data and energy at the problem: observe longer, then store and process it all. Furthermore, only the end image is cleaned, reducing flexibility subs ...

On Denoising Crosstalk in Radio Interferometry

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Nezihe Merve Gürel

Noise reduction in radio interferometers is a formidable task due to the relatively weak signals under observation. The usual strategy is to compensate with a large number of antennas and extend the observation time. We showed recently that one could denoi ...

Towards Real-Time High-Resolution Interferometric Imaging with Bluebild

Sepand Kashani

Rooted in radio-astronomy, the Bluebild algorithm is a paradigm-changing imager to estimate the sky intensity function. However, current imaging pipelines in radio-astronomy are highly-tailored to the CLEAN-family of imagers, and hence lack the flexibility ...
