PlotXY: a high quality plotting system for the Herschel Interactive Processing Environment (HIPE),...
By Samuel George 3149 days agoarxiv.org - The Herschel Interactive Processing Environment (HIPE) was developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) in collaboration with NASA and the Herschel Instrument Control Centres to provide the astronomical community a complete environment to process...Low frequency radio-FIR correlation in normal galaxies at ~1 kpc scales
By Samuel George 3155 days agoarxiv.org - We study the radio--FIR correlation between the nonthermal (synchrotron) radio continuum emission at \lambda 90 cm (333 MHz) and the far infrared emission due to cool (~20 K) dust at \lambda 70\mu m in spatially resolved normal galaxies at scales of...Resolving the Radio Source Background: Deeper Understanding Through Confusion
By Samuel George 3156 days agoarxiv.org - We used the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) to image one primary beam area at 3 GHz with 8 arcsec FWHM resolution and 1.0 microJy/beam rms noise near the pointing center. The P(D) distribution from the central 10 arcmin of this...Polarisation properties of Milky-Way-like galaxies
By Samuel George 3157 days agowww.aanda.org - Aims. We study the polarisation properties, magnetic field strength, and synchrotron emission scale-height of Milky-Way-like galaxies in comparison with other spiral galaxies. Methods. We used our 3D-emission model of the Milky Way Galaxy for...GASKAP -- The Galactic ASKAP Survey
By Samuel George 3161 days agoarxiv.org - A survey of the Milky Way disk and the Magellanic System at the wavelengths of the 21-cm atomic hydrogen (HI) line and three 18-cm lines of the OH molecule will be carried out with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope. The...The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey: The Galaxy Population Detected by ALFALFA
By Samuel George 3163 days agoarxiv.org - Making use of HI 21 cm line measurements from the ALFALFA survey (alpha.40) and photometry from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and GALEX, we investigate the global scaling relations and fundamental planes linking stars and gas for a sample of...Observations of transients and pulsars with LOFAR international stations
By Samuel George 3164 days agoarxiv.org - The LOw FRequency ARray - LOFAR is a new radio telescope that is moving the science of radio pulsars and transients into a new phase. Its design places emphasis on digital hardware and flexible software instead of mechanical solutions. LOFAR...The Murchison Widefield Array: the Square Kilometre Array Precursor at low radio frequencies
By Samuel George 3165 days agoarxiv.org - The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is one of three Square Kilometre Array Precursor telescopes and is located at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in the Murchison Shire of the mid-west of Western Australia, a location chosen for its...The Australia Telescope Large Area Survey: 2.3 GHz observations of ELAIS-S1 and CDF-S
By Samuel George 3168 days agoarxiv.org - Context. The Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) aims to image a 7 deg2 region centred on the European Large Area ISO Survey - South 1 (ELAIS-S1) field and the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) at 1.4 GHz with high sensitivity (up to ~10...Managing Distributed Software Development in the Virtual Astronomical Observatory
By Samuel George 3169 days agoarxiv.org - The U.S. Virtual Astronomical Observatory (VAO) is a product-driven organization that provides new scientific research capabilities to the astronomical community. Software development for the VAO follows a lightweight framework that guides...
