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 (SKA), will revolutionise our understanding of the universe through their unprecedented sensitivity and resolution. However, to realise these goals significant challenges in image an ...

Scalable splitting algorithms for big-data interferometric imaging in the SKA era

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Jason Douglas McEwen

In the context of next generation radio telescopes, like the Square Kilometre Array, the efficient processing of large-scale datasets is extremely important. Convex optimisation tasks under the compressive sensing framework have recently emerged and provid ...

A randomised primal-dual algorithm for distributed radio-interferometric imaging

Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Jason Douglas McEwen

Next generation radio telescopes, like the Square Kilometre Array, will acquire an unprecedented amount of data for radio astronomy. The development of fast, parallelisable or distributed algorithms for handling such large-scale data sets is of prime impor ...

Why CLEAN when you can PURIFY? A new approach for next-generation radio-interferometric imaging

Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Jason Douglas McEwen

In recent works, sparse models and convex optimization techniques have been applied to radio-interferometric (RI) imaging showing the potential to outperform state-of-the-art imaging algorithms in the field. In this talk, I will review our latest contribut ...

Planck 2013 results. XXVI. Background geometry and topology of the Universe

Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen, Fabio Finelli

The new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps from Planck provide the highest-quality full-sky view of the surface of last scattering available to date. This allows us to detect possible departures from the standard model of a globally homogen ...

Planck 2013 results. I. Overview of products and scientific results

Julien Lesgourgues, Xin Chen, Jason Douglas McEwen, Slobodan Ilic, Ji Hyun Kim, Fabio Finelli, Jan Hamann

The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, dedicated to studying the early Universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched 14 May 2009 and has been scanning the microwave and submillimetre sky continuously since 12 August 2009. In March 2013, ESA an ...

Planck 2013 results. XXV. Searches for cosmic strings and other topological defects

Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen, Fabio Finelli

Planck data have been used to provide stringent new constraints on cosmic strings and other defects. We describe forecasts of the CMB power spectrum induced by cosmic strings, calculating these from network models and simulations using line-of-sight Boltzm ...

Planck 2013 results. XXIII. Isotropy and statistics of the CMB

Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen, Ji Hyun Kim, Fabio Finelli

The two fundamental assumptions of the standard cosmological model - that the initial fluctuations are statistically isotropic and Gaussian - are rigorously tested using maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy from the Planck satellite. Th ...

PURIFY: A new algorithmic framework for next-generation radio-interferometric imaging

Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Jason Douglas McEwen

In recent works, compressed sensing (CS) and convex opti- mization techniques have been applied to radio-interferometric imaging showing the potential to outperform state-of-the-art imaging algorithms in the field. We review our latest contributions [1, 2, ...
