A 100-Gb/s noncoherent silicon receiver for PDM-DBPSK/DQPSK signals
(Optica, 2014)An integrated noncoherent silicon receiver for demodulation of 100-Gb/s polarization-division multiplexed differential quadrature phaseshift keying and polarization-division multiplexed differential binary phaseshift ... -
150 years of the geography of innovation
(Elsevier, 2021-01-25)Innovation has long been seen as central to long-term regional growth. Due to the absence of comprehensive data on the geography of innovation covering long time periods, quantifying long-term innovation-development linkages ... -
A 1D fluid model of the Centaurus A jet
(2018-09-27)We implement a steady, one-dimensional flow model for the X-ray jet of Centaurus A in which entrainment of stellar mass loss is the primary cause of dissipation. Using over 260 ks of new and archival Chandra/ACIS data, we ... -
2 mm GISMO Observations of the Galactic Center. I. Dust Emission
(The American Astronomical Society, 2019-11-01)The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), covering the inner ∼ 1 ◦ of the Galactic plane has been mapped at 2 mm using the GISMO bolometric camera on the 30 m IRAM telescope. The 2100 resolution maps show abundant emission from ... -
2 mm GISMO Observations of the Galactic Center. II. A Nonthermal Filament in the Radio Arc and Compact Sources
(The American Astronomical Society, 2019-11-01)We have used the Goddard IRAM 2-Millimeter Observer (GISMO) with the 30 m IRAM telescope to carry out a 2 mm survey of the Galaxy’s central molecular zone (CMZ). These observations detect thermal emission from cold ISM ... -
The 2001 Superoutburst of WZ Sagittae
(IOP, 2002-06-10)We report the results of a worldwide campaign to observe WZ Sagittae during its 2001 superoutburst. After a 23 yr slumber at V = 15.5, the star rose within 2 days to a peak brightness of 8.2, and showed a main eruption ... -
2012 Laird Fellow
(University of Delaware, 2012-06-01)The prestigious fellowship honors the memory of George W. Laird, a UD mechanical engineering graduate who died in an accident at the age of 35. Given since 1997, it is bestowed upon candidates who exhibit character, ... -
The 2019 outburst of the 2005 classical nova V1047 Cen: a record breaking dwarf nova outburst or a new phenomenon?
(2021-08-17)We present a detailed study of the 2019 outburst of the cataclysmic variable V1047 Cen, which hosted a classical nova eruption in 2005. The peculiar outburst occurred 14 years after the classical nova event, lasted for ... -
2021 Effective Area calibration of the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope ARray (NuSTAR)
(SPIE, 2021-10-21)We present here the updated calibration of The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope ARray NuSTAR, which was performed using data on the Crab accumulated over the last 9 years in orbit. The basis for this new calibration contains ... -
2021 Roadmap on Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering
(IOP Publishing, 2021-05-12)Modern computation based on the von Neumann architecture is today a mature cutting-edge science. In this architecture, processing and memory units are implemented as separate blocks interchanging data intensively and ... -
The 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn: metallicity dependence of high mass X-ray binaries
(2022-03-21)X-rays from High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) are likely the main source of heating of the intergalactic medium (IGM) during Cosmic Dawn (CD), before the completion of reionization. This Epoch of Heating (EoH; z∼10−15) ... -
2FHL: THE SECOND CATALOG OF HARD FERMI-LAT SOURCES
(IOP, 2016-01-14)We present a catalog of sources detected above 50 GeV by the Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) in 80 months of data. The newly delivered Pass 8 event-level analysis allows the detection and characterization of sources in ... -
2MASS J10274572+0629104: the very short period young M6 dwarf binary system identified in K2 data
(Oxford University Press, 2019-04-13)We report the identification of a very low mass new binary system 2MASS J10274572+0629104, based on Kepler K2 photometry and Gaia DR2 astrometry. The K2 light curve is consistent with a beat pattern of two periodic ... -
