low-frequency observations of giant pulses from ordinary pulsars
recent spectroscopic observations by sensitive radio telescopes require accurate molecular spectral line frequencies to identify molecular species in a forest of lines detected. to measure rest frequencies of molecular spectral lines in the laboratory, an emission-type millimeter and submillimeter-wave spectrometer uti...

we report the detection of co emission in the recently discovered multiphase isolated gas cloud in the nearby galaxy cluster abell 1367. the cloud is located about 800 kpc in projection from the center of the cluster and at a projected distance of > 80 kpc from any galaxy. it is the first and the only known isolated...
non-star-forming molecular gas in the abell 1367 intra-cluster multiphase orphan cloud
the square kilometre array (ska) will be the largest radio astronomy observatory ever built, providing unprecedented sensitivity over a very broad frequency band from 50 mhz to 15.3 ghz. the ska's low frequency component (ska-low), which will observe in the 50-350 mhz band, will be built at the murchison radio-astronom...
what is the ska-low sensitivity for your favourite radio source?
in their searches for astrophysical point sources of high energy neutrinos, both the super-kamiokande and macro neutrino detectors saw the largest angular excess from the same source, viz. psr b1509-58. we estimate the probability for the observed number of events by both super-kamiokande and macro to be a chance coinc...
combined significance of spatial coincidence of high energy neutrinos from psr b1509-58 by super-kamiokande and macro
the radio jets of an active galactic nucleus (agn) can heat up the gas around a host galaxy and quench star formation activity. the presence of a radio jet could be related to the evolutionary path of the host galaxy and may be imprinted in the morphology and kinematics of the galaxy. in this work, we use data from the...
manga integral-field stellar kinematics of lotss radio galaxies: luminous radio galaxies tend to be slow rotators
active galactic nuclei (agns) can often be identified in radio images as two lobes, sometimes connected to a core by a radio jet. this multicomponent morphology unfortunately creates difficulties for source finders, leading to components that are (a) separate parts of a wider whole, and (b) offset from the multiwavelen...
a quick look at the 3 ghz radio sky. ii. hunting for dragns in the vla sky survey
the common astronomy software applications (casa), is the primary data processing software for the atacama large millimeter/submillimeter array (alma) and the karl g. jansky very large array (vla), and is often used also for other radio telescopes. casa has always been distributed as a single, integrated application, i...
