22:22 <galois> [arXiv] “TOPCAT/STILTS Integration” Mark Taylor — «TOPCAT and STILTS are related packages for desktop analysis of tabular data, presenting GUI and command-line interfaces respectively to much of the same functionality. This paper presents features in TOPCAT that facilitate use of STILTS.»

22:24 <galois> [arXiv] “Using the STIX background detector as a proxy for GOES” Muriel Zoë Stiefel, Matej Kuhar, Olivier Limousin et al. — «Context. The Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-Rays (STIX) onboard Solar Orbiter was designed to observe solar flares in the X-ray range of 4-150 keV, providing spectral, temporal and spatial information. Besides 30 imaging detectors, STIX has two additional detectors, the coarse flare locator (CFL) and…»

22:25 <galois> [arXiv] “Demonstration of Ultra-Sensitive KIDs for Future THz Space Borne Polarimeters” Stephen J. C. Yates, Alejandro Pascual Laguna, Willem Jellema et al. — «We present measurements and simulations of the polarization purity of leaky lens-antenna coupled microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) at 1.5 THz. We find the integrated cross-polarization level to be at -21.5 dB for 1 f\#$\lambda$ spatial sampling. The…»

Lam et al. — «Gravitational microlensing provides a unique opportunity to probe the mass distribution of stars, black holes, and other objects in the Milky Way. Population simulations are necessary to interpret results from microlensing surveys. The contribution from binary…»

The Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST) will be capable of detecting a large number of low-mass free-floating planet events (FFPs) from a bulge microlensing…»
