Wide-field radio-interferometer surveys at high resolution, relatively low frequency and with very high dynamic range requirement play a prominent role in current and forthcoming radio astronomy progr...
A major uncertainty in the determination of the mass profile of the Milky Way using stellar kinematics is the poorly determined anisotropy parameter, beta = 1 - ( ( (sigma_theta)**2 + (sigma_phi)**2 )...
The theory of General Relativity has successfully passed a large number of observational tests. The theory has been extensively tested in the weak-field regime with experiments in the Solar System and...
Much of the lensing effects in astrophysics can be adequately described using geometric optics, where light from a point source can be split into multiple magnified images. In coherent sources, such ...
Astrometry opened the era of modern astronomy/physics and plays a crucial role in contemporary astronomy, including the measurement of the three-dimensional structure of the Milky Way, black hole dete...
