    The time-variable electromagnetic sky has been well-explored at a wide range of wavelengths. In contrast, the ultra-violet (UV) variable sky is relatively poorly explored, even though it offers exciting scientific prospects. ...
  • Residual foreground contamination in the WMAP data 
    Pravabati, C; Park, C (IOP Publishing, 2014)
