The Ingestion Tax: Adopting File-Backed Weights in Tensor Frameworks
Yuan Si, Yufeng Lin, Daming Li +1
Open-weight models can occupy a middle capacity regime: active weights fit in DRAM as cached file pages, but a second framework-owned representation does not fit or must be refille…
A Multimodal Approach to Star--Galaxy Separation using SPHEREx Spectrophotometry and DESI Legacy Survey Imaging
Kendrick Nguyen, Richard M. Feder, Sean Bruton +1
Stellar contamination is a critical systematic for increasingly precise large-scale structure analyses from ongoing and next-generation surveys. Experiments targeting constraints o…
Comparing the Near-infrared Spectral Energy Distributions from Different Stellar Population Synthesis Models with SPHEREx Observations
Jeong Hwan Lee, Minjin Kim, Woong-Seob Jeong +16
While stellar population synthesis (SPS) models have been widely used for spectral analysis in optical wavelengths, their characteristics remain uncertain in the near-infrared (NIR…
A UV-to-Near-infrared QSO Composite Spectrum from the SPHEREx All-Sky Survey
Minjin Kim, Yongjung Kim, Woong-Seob Jeong +19
We present a composite spectrum of type 1 SDSS QSOs (median ), constructed using SPHEREx spectrophotometric data and covering a rest-frame wavelength…
The SPHEREx Image and Spectrophotometry Processing Pipeline
Rachel Akeson, Gregory P. Dubois-Felsmann, Brendan P. Crill +41
In this paper, we describe the SPHEREx image and spectrophotometry data processing pipeline, an infrastructure and software system designed to produce calibrated spectral images an…
The SPHEREx Instrument: Calibration, testing and performance measurements of the NIR 2 spectroscopic surveyor from the laboratory to in-orbit commissioning
Phil M. Korngut, James J. Bock, Samuel Condon +90
The SPHEREx near-infrared space telescope is an all-sky spectroscopic survey mission launched on March 12th, 2025 UTC. In addition to providing the community with a spectral databa…
