Measuring the Vertical Structure of Active Galactic Nuclei Disks with Transformer Models and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Amy Secunda, Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Helen Qu +1
Reverberation mapping is one of the main techniques used to study active galactic nuclei (AGN) accretion disks. Traditional continuum reverberation mapping uses short lags between…
Universal Spectral Tokenization via Self-Supervised Panchromatic Representation Learning
Jeff Shen, Francois Lanusse, Liam Holden Parker +24
Sequential scientific data span many resolutions and domains, and unifying them into a common representation is a key step toward developing foundation models for the sciences. Ast…
AION-1: Omnimodal Foundation Model for Astronomical Sciences
Liam Parker, Francois Lanusse, Jeff Shen +24
While foundation models have shown promise across a variety of fields, astronomy still lacks a unified framework for joint modeling across its highly diverse data modalities. In th…
A Data-Driven Prism: Multi-View Source Separation with Diffusion Model Priors
Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Aizhan Akhmetzhanova, Sydney Erickson
A common challenge in the natural sciences is to disentangle distinct, unknown sources from observations. Examples of this source separation task include deblending galaxies in a c…
"What's (the) Matter?", A Show on Elementary Particle Physics with 28 Demonstration Experiments
Herbi K. Dreiner, Max Becker, Mikolaj Borzyszkowski +26
We present the screenplay of a physics show on particle physics, by the Physikshow of Bonn University. The show is addressed at non-physicists aged 14+ and communicates basic conce…
