The Energy Spectrum of Telescope Array's Middle Drum Detector and the Direct Comparison to the High Resolution Fly's Eye Experiment
UHECR cosmic ray Telescope Array energy spectrum High Resolution Fly’s Eye monocular hybrid HiRes
2012/2/24
The Telescope Array's Middle Drum fluorescence detector was instrumented with telescopes refurbished from the High Resolution Fly's Eye's HiRes-1 site. The data observed by Middle Drum in monocular mo...
Quasometry is precision measurement of celestial positions and apparent motion of very distant extragalactic objects, such as quasars, galactic nuclei, and QSOs. We use this term to identify a specifi...

Expanding upon Pimbblet's informative 2011 analysis of career h-indices for members of the Astronomical Society of Australia, we provide additional citation metrics which are geared to a) quantifying ...
Space Astronomy for the mid-21st Century: Robotically Maintained Space Telescopes
Space Astronomy the mid-21st Century Robotically Maintained Space Telescopes
2012/2/24
The historical development of ground based astronomical telescopes leads us to expect that space-based astronomical telescopes will need to be operational for many decades. The exchange of scientific ...
First Science Observations with SOFIA/FORCAST: The FORCAST Mid-infrared Camera
First Science Observations SOFIA/FORCAST FORCAST Mid-infrared Camera
2012/2/24
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) completed its first light flight in May of 2010 using the facility mid-infrared instrument FORCAST. Since then, FORCAST has successfully co...
Publication Trends in Astronomy: The Lone Author
Publication Trends Astronomy Lone Author SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System
2012/2/24
In this short communication I highlight how the number of collaborators on papers in the main astronomy journals has evolved over time. We see a trend of moving away from single-author papers. This co...
Compact continuum source-finding for next generation radio surveys
image processing catalogues surveys continuum
2012/2/24
We present a detailed analysis of four of the most widely used radio source finding packages in radio astronomy, and a program being developed for the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASK...
Distinguishing between a true period and its alias, and other tasks of model discrimination
Distinguishing alias model discrimination data analysis statistical surveys
2012/2/24
We consider the task of distinguishing between two different alternative models that can roughly equally explain observed time series data, mainly focusing on the period ambiguity case (aliasing). We ...
Modelling supermassive black hole growth: towards an improved sub-grid prescription
Modelling supermassive black hole growth sub-grid prescription
2012/2/24
Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxy formation simulations is frequently modelled by the Bondi-Hoyle formalism. Here we examine the validity of this approach analytically and nume...
Southern Africa CTA Site Proposal
Southern Africa CTA Site Proposal air Cherenkov telescopes
2012/2/24
Southern Africa has some of the world's best sites for air Cherenkov telescopes. South Africa has only one viable site, which is south of Sutherland and also close to the Southern African Large Telesc...
The Electron Capture Decay of 163-Ho to Measure the Electron Neutrino Mass with sub-eV Accuracy and Beyond
electron neutrino mass electron capture decay 163Ho
2012/2/24
We have investigated the possibility of measuring the electron neutrino mass with sub-eV sensitivity by studying the electron capture decay of 163-Ho with cryogenic microcalorimeters. In this paper we...
2011 was a successful year for the GREGOR project. The telescope was finally completed in May with the installation of the 1.5-meter primary mirror. The installation of the first-light focal plane ins...
