Consequences of Non-Gaussian Instrumental Noise in Perturbed Nulling Interferometers
Since its conception by R. N. Bracewell (1978), the exoplanet community has made great progress in demonstrating space-based mid-infrared nulling interferometry as a viable technique to detect and characterize Earth-like exoplanets (P. R. Lawson…

A Nest of Diffuse Interstellar Bands—Likely of Common Origin
Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have been proposed to cluster into distinct “families” each potentially linked to a single carrier molecule. In our study, we focus on identifying such a family within the spectral range of approximately…
