Testing High-Energy Emission Models for Blazars with X-ray Polarimetry

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Abel L. Peirson, Ioannis Liodakis, Roger W. Romani, , | Summary: Both leptonic and hadronic emission processes may contribute to blazar jet emission; which dominates in blazars’s high energy emission component remains an open question. Some intermediate synchrotron peaked blazars transition from their low to high […]

Bayesian Data Analysis for Sky-averaged 21-cm Experiments in the Presence of Ionospheric Effects

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Emma Shen, Dominic Anstey, Eloy de Lera Acedo, Anastasia Fialkov, | Summary: The ionosphere introduces chromatic distortions on low frequency radio waves, and thus poses a hurdle for 21-cm cosmology. In this paper we introduce time-varying chromatic ionospheric effects on simulated antenna temperature data of a global […]

Parametric Level-sets Enhanced To Improve Reconstruction (PaLEnTIR)

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Ege Ozsar, Misha Kilmer, Eric Miller, Eric de Sturler, Arvind Saibaba | Summary: In this paper, we consider the restoration and reconstruction of piecewise constant objects in two and three dimensions using PaLEnTIR, a significantly enhanced Parametric level set (PaLS) model relative to the current state-of-the-art. The […]
