we developed a dual-linear-polarization hemt (high electron mobility transistor) amplifier receiver system of the 45-ghz band (hereafter z45), and installed it in the nobeyama 45-m radio telescope. the receiver system is designed to conduct polarization observations by taking the cross-correlation of two linearly polar...
z45: a new 45-ghz band dual-polarization hemt receiver for the nro 45-m radio telescope
we study the long-term (≈ 30 years) radio variability of 43 radio-bright active galactic nuclei (agns) by exploiting the database of the university of michigan radio astronomy observatory monitoring program. we model the periodograms (temporal power spectra) of the observed light curves as simple power-law noise (red n...
the long-term centimeter variability of active galactic nuclei: a new relation between variability timescale and accretion rate
high-energy astrophysical neutrinos have been observed by several telescopes in the last decade, but their sources still remained unknown. we address the problem of locating astrophysical neutrinos' sources in a statistical manner. we show that blazars positionally associated with icecube neutrino detections have stron...
radio astronomy locates the neutrino origin in bright blazars
general relativity is one of the pillars of modern physics. for decades, the theory has been mainly tested in the weak-field regime with experiments in the solar system and radio observations of binary pulsars. until 2015, the strong-field regime was almost completely unexplored. thanks to new observational facilities,...
x-ray tests of general relativity with black holes
accurate antenna beam models are critical for radio observations aiming to isolate the redshifted 21 cm spectral line emission from the dark ages and the epoch of reionization (eor) and unlock the scientific potential of 21 cm cosmology. past work has focused on characterizing mean antenna beam models using either sate...
beam-forming errors in murchison widefield array phased array antennas and their effects on epoch of reionization science
modern scientific instruments produce vast amounts of data, which can overwhelm the processing ability of computer systems. lossy compression of data is an intriguing solution, but comes with its own drawbacks, such as potential signal loss, and the need for careful optimization of the compression ratio. in this work, ...
compressive sensing using iterative hard thresholding with low precision data representation: theory and applications
the reaction between the amidogen, nh, radical and the ethyl, c2h5, radical has been investigated by performing electronic structure calculations of the underlying doublet potential energy surface. rate coefficients and product branching ratios have also been estimated by combining capture and rrkm calculations. accord...
a theoretical investigation of the reaction between the amidogen, nh, and the ethyl, c2h5, radicals: a possible gas-phase formation route of interstellar and planetary ethanimine
machine learning techniques that perform morphological classification of astronomical sources often suffer from a scarcity of labelled training data. here, we focus on the case of supervised deep learning models for the morphological classification of radio galaxies, which is particularly topical for the forthcoming la...
morphological classification of radio galaxies with wasserstein generative adversarial network-supported augmentation
some short gamma-ray bursts (sgrbs) are thought to be caused by the mergers of binary neutron stars which may sometimes produce massive neutron star remnants capable of producing extragalactic fast radio bursts (frbs). we conducted a deep search for frbs from the sites of six low-redshift sgrbs. we collected high time-...
