Multipolar Magnetic-Field Inference for PSR J0740+6620 with Neural-Network-Accelerated NICER Pulse-Profile Modeling

Farhana Taiyebah, Constantinos Kalapotharakos, Greg Olmschenk +6

We investigate the multipolar surface magnetic-field structure of the high-mass millisecond pulsar PSR J0740+6620 using the 32-bin bolometric NICER pulse profile of Dittmann et al.…

Accelerating Posterior Inference from Pulsar Light Curves via Learned Latent Representations and Local Simulator-Guided Optimization

Farhana Taiyebah, Abu Bucker Siddik, Indronil Bhattacharjee +4

Posterior inference from pulsar observations in the form of light curves is commonly performed using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, which are accurate but computationally expens…

SPUS: A Lightweight and Parameter-Efficient Foundation Model for PDEs

Abu Bucker Siddik, Diane Oyen, Alexander Most +2

We introduce Small PDE U-Net Solver (SPUS), a compact and efficient foundation model (FM) designed as a unified neural operator for solving a wide range of partial differential equ…

Estimation of non-uniform motion blur using a patch-based regression convolutional neural network (CNN)

Luis G. Varela, Laura E. Boucheron, Steven Sandoval +2

The non-uniform blur of atmospheric turbulence can be modeled as a superposition of linear motion blur kernels at a patch level. We propose a regression convolutional neural networ…
