Finding a method to analyse qualitative data: using a study of conceptual learning
(American Association of Dental Schools, 2009)There is increasing awareness in the health sciences of the potential of qualitative research to address questions that quantitative research cannot satisfactorily answer. While a growing number of studies in health sciences ... -
The fore ground transfer function for H I intensity mapping signal reconstruction: MeerKLASS and precision cosmology applications
(Oxford University Press, 2023)Blind cleaning methods are currently the preferred strategy for handling foreground contamination in single-dish H I intensity mapping surv e ys. Despite the increasing sophistication of blind techniques, some signal loss ... -
A framework for assessing the performance of pulsar search pipelines
(Oxford Unviersity Press, 2016)In this paper, we present a framework for assessing the effect of non-stationary Gaussian noise and radio frequency interference (RFI) on the signal to noise ratio, the number of false positives detected per true positive ... -
Hydra I: An extensible multi-source-finder comparison and cataloguing tool
(Cambridge University Press, 2023)The latest generation of radio surveys are now producing sky survey images containing many millions of radio sources. In this context it is highly desirable to understand the performance of radio image source finder (SF) ... -
Hydra ii: Characterisation of Aegean, Caesar, profound, pybdsf, and selavy source finders
(Cambridge University Press, 2023)We present a comparison between the performance of a selection of source finders using a new software tool called Hydra. The companion paper, Paper I, introduced the Hydra tool and demonstrated its performance using ... -
Impact of Rubin observatory cadence choices on supernovae photometric classification
(American Astronomical Society, 2023)The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will discover an unprecedented number of supernovae (SNe), making spectroscopic classification for all the events infeasible. LSST will thus rely on ... -
Improving photometric redshift estimation using GPz: size information, post processing and improved photometry
(Oxford University Press, 2017)The next generation of large-scale imaging surveys (such as those conducted with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and Euclid) will require accurate photometric redshifts in order to optimally extract cosmological ... -
Planck 2018 results: II. low frequency Instrument data processing
(EDP Sciences, 2020)We present a final description of the data-processing pipeline for the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI), implemented for the 2018 data release. Several improvements have been made with respect to the previous release, ... -
Planck 2018 results: III. High frequency instrument data processing and frequency maps
(EDP Sciences, 2020)This paper presents the High Frequency Instrument (HFI) data processing procedures for the Planck 2018 release. Major improvements in mapmaking have been achieved since the previous Planck 2015 release, many of which were ... -
Statistical recovery of the BAO scale from multipoles of the beam-convolved 21 cm correlation function
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2021)Despite being designed as an interferometer, theMeerKAT radio array (a Square Kilometre Array pathfinder) can also be used in autocorrelation (‘single-dish’) mode, where each dish scans the sky independently. Operating ... -
Unveiling the universe with emerging cosmological probes
(Springer, 2022)The detection of the accelerated expansion of the Universe has been one of the major breakthroughs in modern cosmology. Several cosmological probes (Cosmic Microwave Background, Supernovae Type Ia, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations) ...
