Mid-IR Water-Vapor Seeing: Implications for ELT/METIS High-Contrast Imaging from VLTI Data

Abhirami S Raghu, Prashant Pathak, Olivier Absil +7

Direct imaging and characterization of rocky exoplanets remains one of the central challenges in exoplanetary science. The mid-infrared (mid-IR) offers a favorable high-contrast im…

Barium and europium abundances from the Gaia-ESO Survey using The Cannon

Pradosh Barun Das, Francesca Primas, Gayandhi De Silva +3

Neutron-capture element abundances encode the time-dependent interplay between slow (s-) and rapid (r-) nucleosynthetic processes and provide critical constraints on Galactic chemi…

Star Cluster Populations in 38 Spiral Galaxies: Evidence for Near-Universal Mass and Age Distributions from PHANGS

Rupali Chandar, Matthew R. Floyd, David A. Thilker +23

We present the largest study to date of star cluster mass and age distributions in nearby galaxies. The analysis is based on a uniformly selected catalog of over 15,000 (36,000) hu…

The assembly history of NGC 1365 through chemical archaeology

Lisa J. Kewley, Kathryn Grasha, Alex Garcia +8

Galaxies build through infalling gas and galaxy mergers. Tracking the dynamical history of a galaxy from a single snapshot in time is notoriously difficult. We show that the dynami…

Detecting HI Self-Absorption using Neural Networks

Eric G. M. Muller, Naomi M. McClure-Griffiths, Hiep Nguyen +5

Cold atomic hydrogen plays a crucial role in the life cycle of interstellar gas. It serves as the intermediary phase in the condensation and cooling processes that bridge the warm…

Learning from synthetic photorealistic raindrop for single image raindrop removal

Zhixiang Hao, Shaodi You, Yu Li +2

Raindrops adhered to camera lens or windshield are inevitable in rainy scenes and can become an issue for many computer vision systems such as autonomous driving. Because raindrop…
