The proliferation of terrestrial and space-based communication systems introduces significant radio frequency interference (RFI), which severely compromises data acquisition for radio telescopes, necessitating robust and dynamic scheduling solutions....
The determination of stellar ages remains one of the greatest challenges in astrophysics, as age cannot be directly measured. Advances over the last decade highlight a great potential of chemical clocks, particularly abundance ratios involving s-proc...
This study presents multi-band photometric observations and detailed period analysis of a totally eclipsing binary system exhibiting low photometric amplitude. The system exhibits characteristic W Ursae Majoris (EW)-type light curves with complete ec...
This paper proposes a non-smooth controller optimization method and shows the results of ongoing research on the implementation of this method for gravitational-wave applications. Typical performance requirements concerning these type of suspensions...
We continue scientific scrutiny of the DESI dynamical dark energy (DE) claim by explicitly demonstrating that the result depends on the analysis pipeline. Concretely, we define a likelihood that converts the
Grand-design spiral structures typically emerge in N-body simulations of disk galaxies as barred-spiral configurations forming during the early evolutionary stages of the system. In this study, we explore the dynamical conditions that allow for the f...
A radio source with a period of 75.88 s, suspected of being an ultra-long period pulsar, was discovered in 2020 with the MeerKAT radio telescope. Here, we report the detection of radio pulses from this object in multi-epoch ASKAP image data at freque...
We develop predictive models for OH maser occurrence in Galactic star-forming regions by integrating dense-clump physical properties from the APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy (ATLASGAL) and Herschel Infrared Galactic Plane Survey (Hi-GA...
Type Ia supernovae are used as fundamental probes of the cosmological parameters, based on a tight empirical relation between their peak luminosity and the width of their light curve. However, it has been recognized that SNe Ia are not “standar...
STRange and Odd Morphology Extragalactic Radio Sources (STROMERSs) is a new category of radio galaxies that shows extremely peculiar anatomy. A purely manual visual search is carried out for the identification of such interesting sources. We reported...
Recent centimeter-to-millimeter monitoring of nearby gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has revealed late-time (
The Irbene single-baseline radio interferometer (ISBI), operated by the Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre (VIRAC), offers a rare and versatile configuration in modern radio astronomy. Combining the 32-m and 16-m fully steerable parabolic...
We propose a simple method for estimating the fill-out factor of overcontact binary systems using the derivatives of light curves. We synthesized 74,431 sample light curves, covering the typical parameter space of overcontact binaries. On the basis o...
Radio astronomy requires precise target localization and tracking to ensure accurate observations. Conventional regulation methodologies, encompassing PID controllers, frequently encounter difficulties due to orientation inaccuracies precipitated by...
The Deep Space Network (DSN) is the spacecraft tracking and communication infrastructure for NASA’s deep space missions. At three sites, approximately equally separated in (terrestrial) longitude, there are multiple radio antennas outfitted wit...
HD 50138 is a 6.6 mag emission-line B–type star, whose nature is still controversial. It has been thought to be a pre-main-sequence Herbig Be star and an evolved object with the B[e] phenomenon, possibly a mass-transferring binary system. Howev...
We model the short-period cataclysmic variable EZ Lyn with MESA binary evolution and infer its present-day parameters through a staged statistical search. First, we compute a coarse grid of tracks in
We review the past 20 yr evolution of VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) in both science and techinology. VERA is a VLBI array in Japan which consists of four 20 m-diameter telescopes, originally dedicated to phase-referencing VLBI astrometr...
In this investigation, we explore previously unknown relations between natural constants by taking the following steps: (1) We discard Dirac’s constant ℏ from the universal man-made constants of physics, which we redefine in terms of Plan...
Temperatures reported for astronomical objects are commonly extreme, and all are ascertained indirectly, using spectroscopy. However, narrow spectral peaks record microscopic behavior (transitions), whereas temperature is a macroscopic (bulk) feature...
