Spatially-Resolved Spectra of Diffuse Galactic Light using 10.8 M DESI Sky Fibers

Andrew K. Saydjari, Bruce T. Draine, Timothy D. Brandt +49

Using 10.8 million ``blank'' sky spectra from the DESI Year 3 dataset, we measure the diffuse galactic light (DGL) spectrum in the optical at spectral resolution by c…

The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper

SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273

This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy…

Payne4GAIN: NLTE Corrections for Red Giants in Milky Way Mapper using H-Band Neural Network Emulators

Pierre Thibodeaux, Alexander P. Ji, Nicholas Storm +12

The majority of spectroscopic surveys assume local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) during the modeling of stellar spectra. This assumption begins to break down for luminous stars,…

Deep Learning for Astrophysics: An Open Textbook from the NASA Cosmic Origins AI/ML Science and Technology Interest Group

Yuan-Sen Ting, Digvijay Wadekar, Phill Cargile +21

Recent community assessments identify education as a principal barrier to adopting modern machine learning in astronomy. We present Deep Learning for Astrophysics, a freely availab…

Interleaved Noise Injection Improves Clean, Corrupted, and OOD Performance

Matt L. Wiemann, Peter Melchior, Andrew K. Saydjari

Noise injection is a well-known technique in stochastic optimization. We report its surprising effectiveness with an interleaved (on-off-on-off...) rather than the usual monotonic…

The 3D Structure and Kinematics of the Local Disk-Halo Interface: Intermediate-velocity Clouds are the Minority of High-altitude Clouds in the Solar Neighborhood

Theo J. O'Neill, Andrew K. Saydjari, Catherine Zucker +4

Studies of the Milky Way's disk-halo interface have historically identified inflowing and outflowing gas incompatible with disk rotation on the basis of radial velocity, leading to…

Summary of Discussion Sessions from "The Dusty Universe 2025: The Fifth Pandust Conference"

Marjorie Decleir, Karl D. Gordon, Annalisa De Cia +16

"The Dusty Universe: The Fifth Pandust Conference" took place in Tucson (AZ, USA) from November 10 until 14, 2025. The goal of this meeting was to get the dust community together t…

The radial component of the local Galactic magnetic field in 3D

Lewis McCallum, Philipp Frank, Sebastian Hutschenreuter +9

We present a distance-resolved reconstruction of the local line-of-sight Galactic magnetic field, , by combining a 3D electron density () map derived from dust map-i…

A Path to an All-Sky Survey with Roman

Jiwon Jesse Han, Anirudh Chiti, Kai-Feng Chen +93

A deep, space-based, all-sky near-infrared survey carried out with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would constitute a foundational astronomical infrastructure for decades to…

A constrained linear model for continuum normalization of stellar spectra

Andrew R. Casey, Adam Wheeler, Megan Bedell +3

Inferring stellar parameters and chemical abundances by forward modeling stellar spectra usually requires a spectral synthesis code, or an emulator constructed from a curated train…

Optimal and Unbiased Fluxes from Up-the-Ramp Detectors under Variable Illumination

Bowen Li, Kevin A. McKinnon, Andrew K. Saydjari +6

Near-infrared (NIR) detectors -- which use non-destructive readouts to measure time-series counts-per-pixel -- play a crucial role in modern astrophysics. Standard NIR flux extract…
