Geant4-IcyMoons: Simulating Electron Interaction Physics in Irradiated Astrophysical Ices
Gideon Yoffe, Jacques Pienaar, Ioanna Kyriakou +4
Energetic particles continuously process water ice across astrophysical and planetary environments, from interstellar clouds and comets to icy planetary surfaces. Interpreting the…
Molecular diversity as a biosignature
Gideon Yoffe, Fabian Klenner, Barak Sober +2
The search for life in the Solar System hinges on data from planetary missions. Detecting biosignatures based on molecular identity, isotopic composition, or chiral excess requires…
An Information-Theoretic Approach to Identifying Formulaic Clusters in Textual Data
Gideon Yoffe, Yair Segev, Barak Sober
Texts, whether literary or historical, exhibit structural and stylistic patterns shaped by their purpose, authorship, and cultural context. Formulaic texts, which are characterized…
Fluorescent Biomolecules Detectable in Near-Surface Ice on Europa
Gideon Yoffe, Keren Duer, Tom Andre Nordheim +2
Europa, Jupiter's second Galilean moon, is believed to host a subsurface ocean in contact with a rocky mantle, where hydrothermal activity may drive the synthesis of organic molecu…
Estimating the Influence of Sequentially Correlated Literary Properties in Textual Classification: A Data-Centric Hypothesis-Testing Approach
Gideon Yoffe, Nachum Dershowitz, Ariel Vishne +1
We introduce a data-centric hypothesis-testing framework to quantify the influence of sequentially correlated literary properties--such as thematic continuity--on textual classific…
Planetary Mass Determinations from a Simplified Photodynamical Model -- Application To The Complete Kepler Dataset
Aviv Ofir, Gideon Yoffe, Oded Aharonson
We use PyDynamicaLC, a model using the least number of, and the least correlated, degrees of freedom needed to derive a photodynamical model, to describe some of the smallest -- an…
