  • WALOP-South: A wide-field one-shot linear optical polarimeter for PASIPHAE survey 
    Maharana, Siddharth; Kypriotakis, John A.; Ramprakash, A. N.; Khodade, Pravin; Rajarshi, Chaitanya; Joshi, Bhushan; Chordia, Pravin; Anche, Ranya M.; Mishra, Shrish; Blinov, Dmitry; Eriksen, Hans Kristian Kamfjord; Ghosh, Tuhin Subhra; Gjerløw, Eirik; Mandarakas, Nikolaos; Panopoulou, Georgia V.; Pavlidou, Vasiliki; Pearson, Timothy J.; Pelgrims, Vincent; Potter, Stephen B.; Readhead, Anthony C. S.; Skalidis, Raphail; Tassis, Konstantinos; Wehus, Ingunn Kathrine (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    WALOP (Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeter)-South, to be mounted on the 1m SAAO telescope in South Africa, is first of the two WALOP instruments currently under development for carrying out the PASIPHAE survey. Scheduled ...
  • A weak lensing analysis of the PLCK G100.2-30.4 cluster 
    Radovich, M.; Formicola, I.; Meneghetti, M.; Bartalucci, I.; Bourdin, H.; Mazzotta, P.; Moscardini, L.; Ettori, S.; Arnaud, M.; Pratt, G. W.; Aghanim, N.; Dahle, Håkon; Douspis, M.; Pointecouteau, E.; Grado, A. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)
    We present a mass estimate of the Planck-discovered cluster PLCK G100.2-30.4, derived from a weak lensing analysis of deep Subaru griz images. We perform a careful selection of the background galaxies using the multi-band ...
  • What Causes the High Apparent Speeds in Chromospheric and Transition Region Spicules on the Sun? 
    De Pontieu, Bart Walter; Martinez-Sykora, Juan; Chintzoglou, Georgios (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)
    Spicules are the most ubuiquitous type of jets in the solar atmosphere. The advent of high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and ground-based observatories has revealed ...
  • WHAT DO IRIS OBSERVATIONS of Mg II k TELL US ABOUT THE SOLAR PLAGE CHROMOSPHERE? 
    Carlsson, Mats; Leenaarts, Jorrit; De Pontieu, Bart Walter (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)
    We analyze observations from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph of the Mg ii k line, the Mg ii UV subordinate lines, and the O i 135.6 $\mathrm{nm}$ line to better understand the solar plage chromosphere. We also ...
  • Why is non-thermal line broadening of spectral lines in the lower transition region of the sun independent of spatial resolution? 
    De Pontieu, Bart Walter; McIntosh, Scott; Martinez-Sykora, Juan; Peter, Hardi; Mendes Domingos Pereira, Tiago (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)
    Spectral observations of the solar transition region (TR) and corona show broadening of spectral lines beyond what is expected from thermal and instrumental broadening. The remaining non-thermal broadening is significant ...
  • Why is the Sun's corona so hot? Why are prominences so cool? 
    Zirker, Jack B.; Engvold, Oddbjørn (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)

  • Wormholes supported by hybrid metric-Palatini gravity 
    Capozziello, S.; Harko, T.; Koivisto, Tomi Sebastian; Lobo, F. S. N.; Olmo, G. J. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2012)
    Recently, a modified theory of gravity was presented, which consists of the superposition of the metric Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian with an f(R) term constructed à la Palatini. The theory possesses extremely interesting ...
  • YZiCS: Unveiling the Quenching History of Cluster Galaxies Using Phase-space Analysis 
    Rhee, Jinsu; Smith, Rory; Choi, Hoseung; Contini, Emanuele; Jung, S. Lyla; Han, San; Yi, Sukyoung K. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    We used the time since infall (TSI) of galaxies, obtained from the Yonsei Zoom-in Cluster Simulation, and the star formation rate (SFR) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10 to study how quickly the star formation ...
