Noise reduction for weak lensing mass mapping: An application of generative adversarial networks to Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam first-year data

Masato Shirasaki, Kana Moriwaki, Taira Oogi +3

We propose a deep-learning approach based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) to reduce noise in weak lensing mass maps under realistic conditions. We apply image-to-image tr…

An optical search for transients lasting a few seconds

Michael W. Richmond, Masaomi Tanaka, Tomoki Morokuma +37

Using a prototype of the Tomo-e Gozen wide-field CMOS mosaic camera, we acquire wide-field optical images at a cadence of 2 Hz and search them for transient sources of duration 1.5…

New constraint on the atmosphere of (50000) Quaoar from a stellar occultation

Ko Arimatsu, Ryou Ohsawa, George L. Hashimoto +35

We report observations of a stellar occultation by the classical Kuiper belt object (50000) Quaoar occurred on 28 June 2019. A single-chord high-cadence (2 Hz) photometry dataset w…

A concept for the X-ray telescope system with an angular-resolution booster

Yoshitomo Maeda, Ryo Iizuka, Takayuki Hayashi +7

We present a concept of the X-ray imaging system with high angular-resolution and moderate sensitivity. In this concept, a two-dimensional detector, i.e., imager, is put at a sligh…

First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI. The Shadow and Mass of the Central Black Hole

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

We present measurements of the properties of the central radio source in M87 using Event Horizon Telescope data obtained during the 2017 campaign. We develop and fit geometric cres…

First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. V. Physical Origin of the Asymmetric Ring

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has mapped the central compact radio source of the elliptical galaxy M87 at 1.3 mm with unprecedented angular resolution. Here we consider the phy…
