Astronomia ex machina: a history, primer and outlook on neural networks in astronomy

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
In this review, we explore the historical development and future prospects of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning in astronomy. We trace the evolution of connectionism in astronomy through its three waves, from the early use of multilayer ...

Nonlinear Analysis of Irregular Variables

open access: yes, 2000
The Fourier spectral techniques that are common in Astronomy for analyzing periodic or multi-periodic light-curves lose their usefulness when they are applied to unsteady light-curves.

Digitization of sunspot drawings by Sp\"orer made in 1861-1894 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Most of our knowledge about the Sun's activity cycle arises from sunspot observations over the last centuries since telescopes have been used for astronomy. The German astronomer Gustav Sp\"orer observed almost daily the Sun from 1861 until the beginning

Elucidating the Role of Surface Ligands on the Oxidative Etching of Au Bipyramids During Photothermia Using Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gold bipyramids can act as efficient plasmonic nanoheaters, but they often reshape during laser heating. This study shows that oxygen nanobubbles drive oxidative etching and that surface ligands control stability. CTAB‐ and citrate‐coated particles blunt and lose optical performance, whereas polystyrene sulfonate preserves shape and heating by ...

Some Astronomical Applications of Cross-Correlation Techniques. [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1965
Cross-correlation techniques have been used for many years to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of a wide variety of analogue and digital data. A large literature describing these methods exists, and many clever applications have been developed (see Fellgett 1953, and esp. Woodward 1955, for a basic mathematical development and applications).

When Poor Exciton Dissociation Limits Photocurrents in Organic Solar Cells: Why Low Offset Non‐Fullerene Acceptor Blends Can't Be Efficient

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The energetic offset between the donor and the acceptor components in organic photoactive layers is central to the tradeoff between photovoltage and photocurrent losses. This Perspective covers the most important issues surrounding this topic in non‐fullerene acceptor blends, from the difficulty of accurately determining state energies and driving ...

Optimizing Structural Parameters and Layout of Fiber Positioners with the Whale Optimization Algorithm for LAMOST

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Robotic fiber positioner (RFP) arrays are essential for multiobject spectroscopic telescopes. To improve the survey efficiency, they are densely arranged on the focal planes with overlapped patrol areas, guaranteeing full coverage and increasing the ...
