ASTROCO: Self-Supervised Conformer-Style Transformers for Light-Curve Embeddings

Antony Tan, Pavlos Protopapas, Martina Cádiz-Leyton +3

We present AstroCo, a Conformer-style encoder for irregular stellar light curves. By combining attention with depthwise convolutions and gating, AstroCo captures both global depend…

Leveraging pre-trained vision Transformers for multi-band photometric light curve classification

Daniel Moreno-Cartagena, Pavlos Protopapas, Guillermo Cabrera-Vives +3

This study investigates the potential of a pre-trained vision Transformer (VT) model, specifically the Swin Transformer V2 (SwinV2), to classify photometric light curves without th…

Astrometric and photometric characterization of Tel B combining two decades of observations

P. H. Nogueira, C. Lazzoni, A. Zurlo +11

Tel is an 18 Myr system with a 2.09 M A-type star and an M7-M8 brown dwarf companion, Tel B, separated by 4.2'' (208 au). High-contrast imaging campaigns over 20…
