18:22 <galois> [arXiv] “Calculating Bayesian evidence for inflationary models using CONNECT” Camilla T. G. Sørensen, Steen Hannestad, Andreas Nygaard et al. — «Bayesian evidence is a standard method used for comparing the ability of different models to fit available data and is used extensively in cosmology. However, since the evidence calculation involves performing an integral of the likelihood function over the entire space of model…»

Jadhav, Annapurni Subramaniam, Ram Sagar — «Evolutionary pathways of binary systems are vastly different from single stellar evolution, and thus, there is a need to quantify their frequency and diversity. Open clusters are the best test-bed to unveil the secrets of binary populations due to their coeval nature. And the…»

18:24 <galois> [arXiv] “Disk Evolution Study Through Imaging of Nearby Young Stars (DESTINYS): PDS 111, an old T Tauri star with a young-looking disk” Annelotte Derkink, Christian Ginski, Paola Pinilla et al. — «The interplay between T Tauri stars and their circumstellar disks, and how this impacts the onset of planet formation has yet to be established. We studied a seemingly old T Tauri star, PDS 111, and its disk. We analyzed optical,…»

18:27 <galois> [arXiv] “Spherinator and HiPSter: Representation Learning for Unbiased Knowledge Discovery from Simulations” Kai L. Polsterer, Bernd Doser, Andreas Fehlner et al. — «Simulations are the best approximation to experimental laboratories in astrophysics and cosmology. However, the complexity, richness, and large size of their outputs severely limit the interpretability of their predictions. We describe a new, unbiased, and machine…»

With UltraPINK, researchers can train, inspect, and explore self-organizing maps, whereby the toolbox of interaction possibilities grows continually. Key feature of UltraPINK is the…»
