Science with the Murchison Widefield Array

Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline Barton| First 5 Authors: Judd D. Bowman, Judd D. Bowman, , , | Summary:Significant new opportunities for astrophysics and cosmology have been identified at low radio frequencies. The Murchison Widefield Array is the first telescope in the Southern Hemisphere designed specifically to explore the low-frequency astronomical sky between 80 and 300 MHz […]

Comparison of electromagnetic and gravitational radiation; what we can learn about each from the other

Kavli Affiliate: John Belcher | Summary:We compare the nature of electromagnetic fields and of gravitational fields in linearized general relativity. We carry out this comparison both mathematically and visually. In particular the "lines of force" visualizations of electromagnetism are contrasted with the recently introduced tendex/vortex eigenline technique for visualizing gravitational fields. Specific solutions, visualizations, and […]

Single-Pass GPU-Raycasting for Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement Data

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Kaehler | Summary:Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement (SAMR) is a popular numerical technique to study processes with high spatial and temporal dynamic range. It reduces computational requirements by adapting the lattice on which the underlying differential equations are solved to most efficiently represent the solution. Particularly in astrophysics and cosmology such simulations now […]
