Gaia Focused Product Release: Spatial distribution of two diffuse interstellar bands

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are absorption features seen in optical and infrared spectra of stars and extragalactic objects that are probably caused by large and complex molecules in the galactic interstellar medium (ISM). Here we investigate the Gal ...

Gaia Focused Product Release: Sources from Service Interface Function image analysis Half a million new sources in omega Centauri

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context.Gaia's readout window strategy is challenged by very dense fields in the sky. Therefore, in addition to standard Gaia observations, full Sky Mapper (SM) images were recorded for nine selected regions in the sky. A new software pipeline exploits the ...

Civil war hinders crop production and threatens food security in Syria

Li Mi, Xi Li

Assessing the impact of violent conflict on Syrian agriculture is challenging given data limitations and attributability issues. Using satellite data at 30 m spatial resolution, we found that the extent of productive cropland showed greater interannual var ...

Removing imaging systematics from galaxy clustering measurements with Obiwan: application to the SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey emission-line galaxy sample

Cheng Zhao, Johan Comparat, Anand Stéphane Raichoor

This work presents the application of a new tool, Obiwan, which uses image simulations to determine the selection function of a galaxy redshift survey and calculate three-dimensional (3D) clustering statistics. Obiwan relies on a forward model of the proce ...

A Light Pollution Simulator

Denis Gillet, Juan Carlos Farah

In the framework of the Dark Skies Rangers project, we have developed a light pollution simulator aimed at demonstrating the impact of artificial light on the observation of the night sky. The simulator illustrates a nocturnal countryside scenery, with a h ...

LSST: From Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

Darong Huang, Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Anja Annemone Becker, Shikhar Tuli, Michelle Miller, Guillaume Blanc, Abhijit Saha, Wei Cui, Christopher Montgomery, Darko Jevremovic

We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). The LSST design is driven by four main science themes: probing dark energy and dark matter, taking an inventory of the solar system, ex ...

The Time-Domain Spectroscopic Survey: Understanding The Optically Variable Sky With Sequels In Sdss-Iii

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Yue Shen

The Time-Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS) is an SDSS-IV eBOSS subproject primarily aimed at obtaining identification spectra of similar to 220,000 optically variable objects systematically selected from SDSS/Pan-STARRS1 multi-epoch imaging. We present a ...

Air mediated dynamics of droplet impact on a smooth, solid surface

John Martin Kolinski

Before a falling drop can contact a solid surface, it must displace the air beneath it. Recent calculations and experiments show that as the drop approaches the surface, the air fails to drain, and instead compresses. As the air compresses, the pressure in ...

Planck 2013 results. XXI. Power spectrum and high-order statistics of the Planck all-sky Compton parameter map

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

We have constructed the first all-sky map of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect by applying specifically tailored component separation algorithms to the 100 to 857 GHz frequency channel maps from the Planck survey. This map shows an obvious galaxy ...

Modelling 'non-visual' effects of daylighting in a residential environment

Marilyne Andersen, Sharon Jane Gochenour, Steven W. Lockley

The importance of light not only as a therapeutic tool but as an essential element of healthy living has been highlighted by the recent discovery of a specialized photoreceptor in the eye responsible for synchronizing our internal circadian pacemaker. This ...
