How far can we use multi-wavelength cross-identifications to deconvolve far-infrared images? In this short research note I explore a test case of CLEAN deconvolutions of simulated confused 850 micron SCUBA-2 data, and explore the possible scientific applications of combining this data with ostensibly deeper TolTEC Large Scale Structure (LSS) survey 1.1mm-2mm data. I show that the SCUBA-2 can be reconstructed to the 1.1mm LMT resolution and achieve an 850 micron deconvolved sensitivity of 0.7 mJy RMS, an improvement of at least ~1:5x over naive point source filtered images. The TolTEC/SCUBA-2 combination can constrain cold (<10K) observed-frame colour temperatures, where TolTEC alone cannot.

Possible inaccuracies in the determination of periods from short-term time series caused by disregard of the real course of light curves and instrumental trends are documented on the example of the period analysis of simulated TESS-like light curve by notorious Lomb-Scargle method.

High order and fractional PDEs have become prominent in theory and in modeling many phenomena. Here, we focus on the regularizing effect of a large class of memoryful high-order or time-fractional PDEs---through their fundamental solutions---on stoch astic integral equations (SIEs) driven by space-time white noise. Surprisingly, we show that maximum spatial regularity is achieved in the fourth-order-bi-Laplacian case; and any further increase of the spatial-Laplacian order is entirely translated into additional temporal regularization of the SIE. We started this program in (Allouba 2013, Allouba 2006), where we introduced two different stochast
The seesaw mechanism for the small neutrino mass has been a popular paradigm, yet it has been believed that there is no way to test it experimentally. We present a conceivable outcome from future experiments that would convince us of the seesaw mecha nism. It would involve a variety of data from LHC, ILC, cosmology, underground, and low-energy flavor violation experiments to establish the case.
Most protostars have luminosities that are fainter than expected from steady accretion over the protostellar lifetime. The solution to this problem may lie in episodic mass accretion -- prolonged periods of very low accretion punctuated by short burs ts of rapid accretion. However, the timescale and amplitude for variability at the protostellar phase is almost entirely unconstrained. In A JCMT/SCUBA-2 Transient Survey of Protostars in Nearby Star Forming Regions, we are monitoring monthly with SCUBA-2 the sub-mm emission in eight fields within nearby (<500 pc) star forming regions to measure the accretion variability of protostars. The total survey area of ~1.6 sq.deg. includes ~105 peaks with peaks brighter than 0.5 Jy/beam (43 associated with embedded protostars or disks) and 237 peaks of 0.125-0.5 Jy/beam (50 with embedded protostars or disks). Each field has enough bright peaks for flux calibration relative to other peaks in the same field, which improves upon the nominal flux calibration uncertainties of sub-mm observations to reach a precision of ~2-3% rms, and also provides quantified confidence in any measured variability. The timescales and amplitudes of any sub-mm variation will then be converted into variations in accretion rate and subsequently used to infer the physical causes of the variability. This survey is the first dedicated survey for sub-mm variability and complements other transient surveys at optical and near-IR wavelengths, which are not sensitive to accretion variability of deeply embedded protostars.
We address the problem that dynamical masses of high-redshift massive galaxies, derived using virial scaling, often come out lower than stellar masses inferred from population fitting to multi-band photometry. We compare dynamical and stellar masses for various samples spanning ranges of mass, compactness and redshift, including the SDSS. The discrepancy between dynamical and stellar masses occurs both at low and high redshifts, and systematically increases with galaxy compactness. Because it is unlikely that stellar masses show systematic errors with galaxy compactness, the correlation of mass discrepancy with compactness points to errors in the dynamical mass estimates which assume homology with massive, nearby ellipticals. We quantify the deviations from homology and propose specific non-virial scaling of dynamical mass with effective radius and velocity dispersion.
