French SKA White Book - The French Community towards the Square Kilometre Array
read the original abstract
The "Square Kilometre Array" (SKA) is a large international radio telescope project characterised, as suggested by its name, by a total collecting area of approximately one square kilometre, and consisting of several interferometric arrays to observe at metric and centimetric wavelengths. The deployment of the SKA will take place in two sites, in South Africa and Australia, and in two successive phases. From its Phase 1, the SKA will be one of the most formidable scientific machines ever deployed by mankind, and by far the most impressive in terms of data throughput and required computing power. With the participation of almost 200 authors from forty research institutes and six private companies, the publication of this French SKA white paper illustrates the strong involvement in the SKA project of the French astronomical community and of a rapidly growing number of major scientific and technological players in the fields of Big Data, high performance computing, energy production and storage, as well as system integration.

The slope of the power spectrum of the density field in isothermal supersonic compressible turbulence
A model based on Chandrasekhar's time-invariant quantity quantitatively explains the slope of the density power spectrum as a function of Mach number in supersonic turbulence and reproduces simulation and ISM data.

The slope of the power spectrum of the density field in isothermal supersonic compressible turbulence
A model based on Chandrasekhar's 1951 time-invariant quantity quantitatively explains the Mach-number dependence of the density power spectrum slope in isothermal supersonic turbulence and demonstrates that the slope ...
