Simultaneous PSF Matching via Dual Kernel Optimization

Carter Lee Rhea, Pieter Van Dokkum, Roberto Abraham +6

Standard point spread function (PSF) matching algorithms consider one image as the reference and aim to find a convolution kernel such that, when applied to the reference image, th…

Numerous bow shocks in the outer Helix Nebula

Pieter van Dokkum, Roberto Abraham, William P. Bowman +5

Near the end of their lives, low- and intermediate-mass stars expel metal-enriched material in winds and outflows, ultimately producing planetary nebulae (PNe). The ejected materia…

Predicting the Kinematics of the Cold Circumgalactic Medium from its Morphology using Convolutional Neural Networks

Connor Jennings, Earl P. Bellinger, Imad Pasha +2

We present a novel approach to predicting plane-of-sky velocities of cold gas clouds in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies. The method uses a convolutional neural network…

Hyrax: An Extensible Framework for Rapid ML Experimentation and Unsupervised Discovery in the Era of Rubin, Roman, and Euclid

Aritra Ghosh, Drew Oldag, Michael Tauraso +29

The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, Roman Space Telescope, Euclid, and other next-generation surveys will deliver imaging, spectroscopic, and time-domain data at scales that inc…

A Third Galaxy Missing Dark Matter along a Trail of Galaxies in the NGC 1052 Field

Michael A. Keim, Pieter van Dokkum, Zili Shen +2

While most dwarf galaxies are strongly dark matter dominated, two remarkable objects in the NGC 1052 field, DF2 and DF4, appear to lack dark matter. DF2 and DF4 were recently found…

dfcosmic: A Python package for cosmic ray removal

Carter Lee Rhea, Pieter van Dokkum, Steven R. Janssens +5

Astronomical images often show sharp features that are caused by cosmic ray (CR) hits, hot pixels, or non-Gaussian noise. L.A.Cosmic (van Dokkum 2001) is a widely used edge detecti…

JWST Confirmation of a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole via its Supersonic Bow Shock

Pieter van Dokkum, Connor Jennings, Imad Pasha +6

We present JWST/NIRSpec IFU observations of a candidate runaway supermassive black hole at the tip of a 62 kpc-long linear feature at z=0.96. The JWST data show a sharp kinematic d…
