Detecting stellar clusters have always been an important research problem in Astronomy. Although images do not convey very detailed information in detecting stellar density enhancements, we attempt to understand if new machine learning techniques can reveal patterns that would assist in drawing better inferences from t…

Study of 13,456 hot stellar systems reveals multi-layered grouping.

Debate over the existence of branches in the stellar activity-rotation diagrams continues. Application of modern time series analysis tools to study the mean cycle periods in chromospheric activity index is lacking. We develop such models, based on Gaussian processes, for one-dimensional time series and apply it to the…

The paper models star dynamics using Ricci flow and Perelman entropy, revealing chaotic behavior.

Here are versions of the proofs of two classic theorems of combinatorial topology. The first is the result that piecewise linearly homeomorphic simplicial complexes are related by stellar moves. This is used in the proof, modelled on that of Pachner, of the second theorem. This states that moves from only a finite coll…

Multivariate clustering in astrophysics is a recent development justified by the bigger and bigger surveys of the sky. The phylogenetic approach is probably the most unexpected technique that has appeared for the unsupervised classification of galaxies, stellar populations or globular clusters. On one side, this is a s…

Detects anomalies in astronomical time series data.

LatentNN corrects neural network attenuation bias in astronomical data.

We construct a one-dimensional deformation retract of the unordered k-point configuration space of a star S. This retract suggests an explicit set of free generators Beta_k for the corresponding braid group of the star B_k and shows that the natural map from B_k-1 to B_k sends Beta_k-1 to Beta_k injectively.

Method identifies galaxies with recent star formation variations.

Predicts the age of astronomical transients from real-time data.

Considering a Hamiltonian Dynamical System describing the motion of charged particle in a Tokamak or a Stellarator, we build a change of coordinates to reduce its dimension. This change of coordinates is in fact an intricate succession of mappings that are built using Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations, Differen…

I introduce an algorithm for estimating parameters from multidimensional data based on forward modelling. In contrast to many machine learning approaches it avoids fitting an inverse model and the problems associated with this. The algorithm makes explicit use of the sensitivities of the data to the parameters, with th…

Designing a photometric system to best fulfil a set of scientific goals is a complex task, demanding a compromise between conflicting requirements and subject to various constraints. A specific example is the determination of stellar astrophysical parameters (APs) - effective temperature, metallicity etc. - across a wi…

Quantified limits of nuclear stability beyond drip lines.

It is expected that matter composed of a perfect fluid cannot be at rest outside of a black hole if the spacetime is asymptotically flat and static (non-rotating). However, there has not been a rigorous proof for this expectation without assuming spheical symmetry. In this paper, we provide a proof of non-existence of …

In this letter, we propose a method for period estimation in light curves from periodic variable stars using correntropy. Light curves are astronomical time series of stellar brightness over time, and are characterized as being noisy and unevenly sampled. We propose to use slotted time lags in order to estimate corrent…

Deep neural networks achieve stellar generalisation on a variety of problems, despite often being large enough to easily fit all their training data. Here we study the generalisation dynamics of two-layer neural networks in a teacher-student setup, where one network, the student, is trained using stochastic gradient de…

In many scientific disciplines structures in high-dimensional data have to be found, e.g., in stellar spectra, in genome data, or in face recognition tasks. In this work we present a novel approach to non-linear dimensionality reduction. It is based on fitting K-nearest neighbor regression to the unsupervised regressio…

In recent years, multi-armed bandit (MAB) framework has attracted a lot of attention in various applications, from recommender systems and information retrieval to healthcare and finance, due to its stellar performance combined with certain attractive properties, such as learning from less feedback. The multi-armed ban…

The spectral energy distribution (SED) is a relatively easy way for astronomers to distinguish between different astronomical objects such as galaxies, black holes, and stellar objects. By comparing the observations from a source at different frequencies with template models, astronomers are able to infer the type of t…

Let $t_1,\ldots,t_n$ be $\ell$-group terms in the variables $X_1,\ldots,X_m$. Let $\hat t_1,\ldots,\hat t_n$ be their associated piecewise homogeneous linear functions. Let $G$ be the $\ell$-group generated by $\hat t_1, \ldots,\hat t_n$ in the free $m$-generator $\ell$-group $\mathcal A_m.$ We prove: (i) the problem …

Over the past decade, the stellar growth of Indian economy has been challenged by persistently high levels of inflation, particularly in food prices. The primary reason behind this stubborn food inflation is mismatch in supply-demand, as domestic agricultural production has failed to keep up with rising demand owing to…

Deep neural networks achieve stellar generalisation even when they have enough parameters to easily fit all their training data. We study this phenomenon by analysing the dynamics and the performance of over-parameterised two-layer neural networks in the teacher-student setup, where one network, the student, is trained…

In recent years, music is conspicuous to technology which can generate a suite of music automatically without any human intervention. To accomplish this task, we need to overcome some technical challenges which are discussed descriptivel…

Period estimation is one of the central topics in astronomical time series analysis, where data is often unevenly sampled. Especially challenging are studies of stellar magnetic cycles, as there the periods looked for are of the order of the same length than the datasets themselves. The datasets often contain trends, t…
