Spatiotemporal dynamics of ultrarelativistic beam-plasma instabilities

P. San Miguel Claveria, X. Davoine, J. R. Peterson +28

An electron or electron-positron beam streaming through a plasma is notoriously prone to micro-instabilities. For a dilute ultrarelativistic infinite beam, the dominant instability…

Deblending and Classifying Astronomical Sources with Mask R-CNN Deep Learning

Colin J. Burke, Patrick D. Aleo, Yu-Ching Chen +4

We apply a new deep learning technique to detect, classify, and deblend sources in multi-band astronomical images. We train and evaluate the performance of an artificial neural net…

Unveiling the Rich and Diverse Universe of Subsecond Astrophysics through LSST Star Trails

David Thomas, Steven M. Kahn, Federica B. Bianco +9

We present a unique method that allows the LSST to scan the sky for stellar variability on short timescales. The operational component of the strategy requires LSST to take star tr…
