Applications of Signal Processing in Astrophysics and Cosmology

  1. This paper considers the detection of point sources in two-dimensional astronomical images. The detection scheme we propose is based on peak statistics. We discuss the example of the detection of far galaxies ...

  3. This paper presents a new data compression concept, "on-board processing," for infrared astronomy, where space observatories have limited processing resources. The proposed approach has been developed and test...

  7. Galaxies are arranged in interconnected walls and filaments forming a cosmic web encompassing huge, nearly empty, regions between the structures. Many statistical methods have been proposed in the past in orde...

  9. Currently, it appears that the best method for non-Gaussianity detection in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) consists in calculating the kurtosis of the wavelet coefficients. We know that wavelet-kurtosis...
