Pixellated Posterior Sampling of Point Spread Functions in Astronomical Images
Connor Stone, Ronan Legin, Alexandre Adam +4
We introduce a novel framework for upsampled Point Spread Function (PSF) modeling using pixel-level Bayesian inference. Accurate PSF characterization is critical for precision meas…
Blind Strong Gravitational Lensing Inversion: Joint Inference of Source and Lens Mass with Score-Based Models
Gabriel Missael Barco, Ronan Legin, Connor Stone +2
Score-based models can serve as expressive, data-driven priors for scientific inverse problems. In strong gravitational lensing, they enable posterior inference of a background gal…
Gravitational-Wave Parameter Estimation in non-Gaussian noise using Score-Based Likelihood Characterization
Ronan Legin, Maximiliano Isi, Kaze W. K. Wong +2
Gravitational-wave (GW) parameter estimation typically assumes that instrumental noise is Gaussian and stationary. Obvious departures from this idealization are typically handled o…
Caustics: A Python Package for Accelerated Strong Gravitational Lensing Simulations
Connor Stone, Alexandre Adam, Adam Coogan +9
Gravitational lensing is the deflection of light rays due to the gravity of intervening masses. This phenomenon is observed in a variety of scales and configurations, involving any…
Echoes in the Noise: Posterior Samples of Faint Galaxy Surface Brightness Profiles with Score-Based Likelihoods and Priors
Alexandre Adam, Connor Stone, Connor Bottrell +3
Examining the detailed structure of galaxy populations provides valuable insights into their formation and evolution mechanisms. Significant barriers to such analysis are the non-t…
Beyond Gaussian Noise: A Generalized Approach to Likelihood Analysis with non-Gaussian Noise
Ronan Legin, Alexandre Adam, Yashar Hezaveh +1
Likelihood analysis is typically limited to normally distributed noise due to the difficulty of determining the probability density function of complex, high-dimensional, non-Gauss…
A Framework for Obtaining Accurate Posteriors of Strong Gravitational Lensing Parameters with Flexible Priors and Implicit Likelihoods using Density Estimation
Ronan Legin, Yashar Hezaveh, Laurence Perreault-Levasseur +1
We report the application of implicit likelihood inference to the prediction of the macro-parameters of strong lensing systems with neural networks. This allows us to perform deep…
Posterior samples of source galaxies in strong gravitational lenses with score-based priors
Alexandre Adam, Adam Coogan, Nikolay Malkin +4
Inferring accurate posteriors for high-dimensional representations of the brightness of gravitationally-lensed sources is a major challenge, in part due to the difficulties of accu…
Population-Level Inference of Strong Gravitational Lenses with Neural Network-Based Selection Correction
Ronan Legin, Connor Stone, Yashar Hezaveh +1
A new generation of sky surveys is poised to provide unprecedented volumes of data containing hundreds of thousands of new strong lensing systems in the coming years. Convolutional…
