How to Craft the Right Language AI Policy For Your Research Group (Some Assembly Required)
Michelle Ntampaka, S. Burke-Spolaor, Ioana Ciucă +14
Language AI is rapidly becoming part of the astronomy research ecosystem, prompting research teams to develop policies governing its use. But resources and advice for AI adoption a…
Do Lexical and Contextual Coreference Resolution Systems Degrade Differently under Mention Noise? An Empirical Study on Scientific Software Mentions
Atilla Kaan Alkan, Felix Grezes, Jennifer Lynn Bartlett +3
We present our participation in the SOMD 2026 shared task on cross-document software mention coreference resolution, where our systems ranked second across all three subtasks. We c…
AstroConcepts: A Large-Scale Multi-Label Classification Corpus for Astrophysics
Atilla Kaan Alkan, Felix Grezes, Sergi Blanco-Cuaresma +5
Scientific multi-label text classification suffers from extreme class imbalance, where specialized terminology exhibits severe power-law distributions that challenge standard class…
INDUS: Effective and Efficient Language Models for Scientific Applications
Bishwaranjan Bhattacharjee, Aashka Trivedi, Masayasu Muraoka +33
Large language models (LLMs) trained on general domain corpora showed remarkable results on natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, previous research demonstrated LLMs tr…
Experimenting with Large Language Models and vector embeddings in NASA SciX
Sergi Blanco-Cuaresma, Ioana Ciucă, Alberto Accomazzi +19
Open-source Large Language Models enable projects such as NASA SciX (i.e., NASA ADS) to think out of the box and try alternative approaches for information retrieval and data augme…
Improving astroBERT using Semantic Textual Similarity
Felix Grezes, Thomas Allen, Sergi Blanco-Cuaresma +13
The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is an essential tool for researchers that allows them to explore the astronomy and astrophysics scientific literature, but it has yet to exp…
Web accessibility trends and implementation in dynamic web applications
Timothy W. Hostetler, Shinyi Chen, Sergi Blanco-Cuaresma +12
The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), a critical research service for the astrophysics community, strives to provide the most accessible and inclusive environment for the discov…
Cross-modal Knowledge Distillation for Vision-to-Sensor Action Recognition
Jianyuan Ni, Raunak Sarbajna, Yang Liu +2
Human activity recognition (HAR) based on multi-modal approach has been recently shown to improve the accuracy performance of HAR. However, restricted computational resources assoc…
Agile methodologies in teams with highly creative and autonomous members
Sergi Blanco-Cuaresma, Alberto Accomazzi, Michael J. Kurtz +10
The Agile manifesto encourages us to value individuals and interactions over processes and tools, while Scrum, the most adopted Agile development methodology, is essentially based…
SPISEA: A Python-Based Simple Stellar Population Synthesis Code for Star Clusters
M. W. Hosek, J. R. Lu, C. Y. Lam +4
We present SPISEA (Stellar Population Interface for Stellar Evolution and Atmospheres), an open-source Python package that simulates simple stellar populations. The strength of SPI…
Referencing Sources of Molecular Spectroscopic Data in the Era of Data Science: Application to the HITRAN and AMBDAS Databases
Frances M. Skinner, Iouli E. Gordon, Christian Hill +3
The application described has been designed to create bibliographic entries in large databases with diverse sources automatically, which reduces both the frequency of mistakes and…
Fundamentals of effective cloud management for the new NASA Astrophysics Data System
Sergi Blanco-Cuaresma, Alberto Accomazzi, Michael J. Kurtz +11
The new NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is designed with a serviceoriented architecture (SOA) that consists of multiple customized Apache Solr search engine instances plus a co…
astroquery: An Astronomical Web-Querying Package in Python
Adam Ginsburg, Brigitta M. Sipőcz, C. E. Brasseur +21
astroquery is a collection of tools for requesting data from databases hosted on remote servers with interfaces exposed on the internet, including those with web pages but without…
Characterizing and Improving the Data Reduction Pipeline for the Keck OSIRIS Integral Field Spectrograph
Kelly E. Lockhart, Tuan Do, James E. Larkin +15
OSIRIS is a near-infrared (1.0--2.4 m) integral field spectrograph operating behind the adaptive optics system at Keck Observatory, and is one of the first lenslet-based integra…
HST/WFC3 Observations of an Off-Nuclear Superbubble in Arp 220
Kelly E. Lockhart, Lisa J. Kewley, Jessica R. Lu +9
We present a high spatial resolution optical and infrared study of the circumnuclear region in Arp 220, a late-stage galaxy merger. Narrowband imaging using HST/WFC3 has resolved t…
A comparison of the morphological properties between local and z~1 infrared luminous galaxies. Are local and high-z (U)LIRGs different?
Chao-Ling Hung, D. B. Sanders, Caitlin M. Casey +9
Ultraluminous and luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs and LIRGs) are the most extreme star-forming galaxies in the universe, and dominate the total star formation rate density at z>…
Testing Disk-Locking in NGC 2264
P. Wilson Cauley, Christopher M. Johns-Krull, Catrina M. Hamilton +1
We test analytic predictions from different models of magnetospheric accretion, which invoke disk-locking, using stellar and accretion parameters derived from models of low resolut…
