LenghuSky-8: An 8-Year All-Sky Cloud Dataset with Star-Aware Masks and Alt-Az Calibration for Segmentation and Nowcasting
Yicheng Rui, Xiao-Wei Duan, Licai Deng +9
Ground-based time-domain observatories require minute-by-minute, site-scale awareness of cloud cover, yet existing all-sky datasets are short, daylight-biased, or lack astrometric…
A universal brown dwarf desert formed between planets and stars
Kaiming Cui, Guang-Yao Xiao, Fabo Feng +10
Giant planets and brown dwarfs play a crucial role in star and planet formation, as they are situated at the boundary between planets and stars with uncertain formation mechanisms.…
Detection of dark companions via the combination of eclipse timing variation, Hipparcos and/or Gaia astrometry: the cases of V Puppis and CY Ari
Guang-Yao Xiao, Fabo Feng, Song Wang +3
The third body is expected to shape the formation and evolution of close binary systems. In this work, we develop a method to detect and characterize the tertiary companion around…
Segmented-Polynomial-fitting Least Squares (SPLS): An optimized algorithm to find Earth twins
Shuyue Zheng, Fabo Feng, Yicheng Rui
Detecting Earth twins remains challenging because their shallow, long-period transits are difficult to distinguish from background noise. Motivated by the challenge, we developed S…
DeepAP: Deep Learning-based Aperture Photometry Feasibility Assessment and Aperture Size Prediction
Zheng-Jun Du, Qing-Quan Li, Yi-Cheng Rui +6
Aperture photometry is a fundamental technique widely used to obtain high-precision light curves in optical survey projects like Tianyu. However, its effectiveness is limited in cr…
Architecture of Tianyu Software: Relative Photometry as a Case Study
Yicheng Rui, Yifan Xuan, Shuyue Zheng +8
Tianyu telescope, an one-meter robotic optical survey instrument to be constructed in Lenghu, Qinghai, China, is designed for detecting transiting exoplanets, variable stars and tr…
