The asteroids provide excellent opportunities to study the formation and early evolution of the Solar System. This is because they are small and can not retain heat efficiently, and thus cooled early ...
Nonconvex optimization is a central research topic in machine learning, mainly because the loss functions in many machine learning models (including neural networks) are typically nonconvex. However, ...
<p>Structures such as gaps and rings in ALMA observations of protoplanetary disks have long been hailed as signposts of planet formation. However, a direct link between exoplanets and protoplanetary disk...</p>
In this talk, the speaker will show the fast radio burst (FRB) searching efforts with Chinese radio telescopes, including Xinjiang 26m, Yunnan 40m, Luonan 40m, and FAST 500m telescopes. they will disc...
Time-domain astrophysics is being revolutionised by the advent of the multi-wavelength and multi-messenger era. The Einstein Probe (EP) is a space mission designed to discover and characterise high-en...
We evaluate the ability of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to predict galaxy cluster masses in the BAHAMAS hydrodynamical simulations. We train four separate single-channel networks using: stella...
<p>All measurements of cosmic star formation must assume the stellar initial mass function (IMF) to extrapolate from the star-formation rate (SFR) measured for massive stars to the total SFR. Traditional...</p>
Since the launch of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) three years ago, the exoplanet field had a new boom of discoveries. In this talk, the speaker will review the main exoplanet result...
Observations show that exoplanets are ubiquitous. For the first time, we have the technological capability to discover planets with similar bulk properties to Earth by monitoring the radial-velocity o...
During the Great Plague of London in 1965, Isaac Newton went for a 2 year quarantene in his home in Woolsthorpe, where he layed down the faundation of his later theories on calculus, optics and the la...
