Automated morphological decomposition of galaxies in large imaging surveys
Creators: name: Casura, Sarah
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Many studies of the properties and evolution of galaxies need reliable structural parameters of their components. There is no "universal solution" to this problem yet due to the diversity of the galaxy population along with the evolving quality of images (in terms of depth, resolution, wavelength coverage and data volume). We present our efforts to decompose ~13000 galaxies from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey in 9 optical and near-infrared images (each) into their bulges and disks. The model fitting uses a fully automated MCMC analysis with the 2-dimensional Bayesian profile fitting code ProFit (Robotham et al. 2017). The preparatory work includes image segmentation/source identification, background subtraction and point-spread-function estimation and is also carried out in an automated fashion using the sister package ProFound (Robotham et al. 2018; an astronomical image analysis package rooted in medical imaging software). After fitting the galaxies, we perform outlier rejection, model selection and quality control in various semi-automated steps, including a detailed study of systematic uncertainties. We find that our fit results are robust across a variety of galaxy types and image qualities with minimal biases, while MCMC uncertainties typically underestimate the true errors by factors 2-3.

description: The adaptive moment estimation algorithm Adam (Kingma and Ba) is a popular optimizer in the training of deep neural networks. However, Reddi et al. have recently shown that the convergence proof of Adam is problematic and proposed a variant of Adam called AMSGrad as a fix. In this paper, we show that the convergence proof of AMSGrad is also problematic. Concretely, the problem in the convergence proof of AMSGrad is in handling the hyper-parameters, treating them as equal while they are not. This is also the neglected issue in the convergence proof of Adam. We provide an explicit counter-example of a simple convex optimization setting to show this neglected issue. Depending on manipulating the hyper-parameters, we present various fixes for this issue. We provide a new convergence proof for AMSGrad as the first fix. We also propose a new version of AMSGrad called AdamX as another fix. Our experiments on the benchmark dataset also support our theoretical results.

description: We extend the Itô-Wentzell formula for the evolution of a time-dependent stochastic field along a semimartingale to $k$-form-valued stochastic processes. The result is the Kunita-Itô-Wentzell (KIW) formula for $k$-forms. We also establish a correspondence between the KIW formula for $k$-forms derived here and a certain class of stochastic fluid dynamics models which preserve the geometric structure of deterministic ideal fluid dynamics. This geometric structure includes Eulerian and Lagrangian variational principles, Lie--Poisson Hamiltonian formulations and natural analogues of the Kelvin circulation theorem, all derived in the stochastic setting.

description: Invisible neutrino decay modes are difficult to target at laboratory experiments, and current bounds on such decays from solar neutrino and neutrino oscillation experiments are somewhat weak. It has been known for some time that Cosmology can serve as a powerful probe of invisible neutrino decays. In this work, we show that in order for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis to be successful, the invisible neutrino decay lifetime is bounded to be $τ_ν> 10^{-3}\,\text{s}$ at 95\% CL. We revisit Cosmic Microwave Background constraints on invisible neutrino decays, and by using Planck2018 observations we find the following bound on the neutrino lifetime: $τ_ν> (1.3-0.3)\times 10^{9}\,\text{s} \, \left({m_ν}/{ 0.05\,\text{eV} }\right)^3$ at $95\%$ CL. We show that this bound is robust to modifications of the cosmological model, in particular that it is independent of the presence of dark radiation. We find that lifetimes relevant for Supernova observations ($τ_ν\sim 10^{5}\,\text{s}\, \left({m_ν}/{ 0.05\,\text{eV} }\right)^3$) are disfavoured at more than $5\,σ$ with respect to $Λ$CDM given the latest Planck CMB observations. Finally, we show that when including high-$\ell$ Planck polarization data, neutrino lifetimes $τ_ν= (2-16)\times 10^{9}\,\text{s} \, \left({m_ν}/{ 0.05\,\text{eV} }\right)^3$ are mildly preferred -- with a 1-2 $σ$ significance -- over neutrinos being stable.

description: One of the unique features of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians is the non-Hermitian skin effect, namely that the eigenstates are exponentially localized at the boundary of the system. For open quantum systems, a short-time evolution can often be well described by the effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, while long-time dynamics calls for the Lindblad master equations, in which the Liouvillian superoperators generate time evolution. In this Letter, we find that Liouvillian superoperators can exhibit the non-Hermitian skin effect, and uncover its unexpected physical consequences. It is shown that the non-Hermitian skin effect dramatically shapes the long-time dynamics, such that the damping in a class of open quantum systems is algebraic under periodic boundary condition but exponential under open boundary condition. Moreover, the non-Hermitian skin effect and non-Bloch bands cause a chiral damping with a sharp wavefront. These phenomena are beyond the effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonians; instead, they belong to the non-Hermitian physics of full-fledged open quantum dynamics.

description: The regression depth of a hyperplane with respect to a set of n points in R^d is the minimum number of points the hyperplane must pass through in a rotation to vertical. We generalize hyperplane regression depth to k-flats for any k between 0 and d-1. The k=0 case gives the classical notion of center points. We prove that for any k and d, deep k-flats exist, that is, for any set of n points there always exists a k-flat with depth at least a constant fraction of n. As a consequence, we derive a linear-time (1+epsilon)-approximation algorithm for the deepest flat.

Nekhoroshev Estimates for the Survival Time of Tightly Packed Planetary Systems
Creators: name: Yalinewich, Almog

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: $N$-body simulations of non-resonant tightly-packed planetary systems have found that their survival time (i.e. time to first close encounter) grows exponentially with their interplanetary spacing and planetary masses. Although this result has important consequences for the assembly of planetary systems by giants collisions and their long-term evolution, this underlying exponential dependence is not understood from first principles, and previous attempts based on orbital diffusion have only yielded power-law scalings. We propose a different picture, where large deviations of the system from its initial conditions is due to few slowly developing high-order resonances. Thus, we show that the survival time of the system $T$ can be estimated using a heuristic motivated by Nekhoroshev's theorem, and obtain a formula for systems away from overlapping two-body mean-motion resonances as: $T/P=c_1 \frac{a}{Δa} \exp \left(c_2 \frac{Δa}{a} /μ^{1/4}\right)$, where $P$ is the average Keplerian period, $a$ is the average semi major axis, $Δa\ll a$ is the difference between the semi major axes of neighbouring planets, $μ$ is the planet to star mass ratio, and $c_1$ and $c_2$ are dimensionless constants. We show that this formula is in good agreement with numerical N-body experiments for $c_1=5 \cdot 10^{-4}$ and $c_2=8$.

neuromuscular junction (NMJ)

description: Translation is a process that involves the protein production through ribosomal interaction with the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). This process has been shown to be affected in multiple neurodegenerative diseases both in vitro and on whole tissue level. One of the motor neuron diseases in which translation is affected, is spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). SMA is a childhood motor neuron disease caused by the degeneration of the motor neuron and the corresponding neuromuscular junction (NMJ). This leads to muscle weakness, characterised by endplate denervation. It remains unclear how translation is affected in the cell type that is most affected in SMA, the motor neuron. Using a mouse model expressing a tagged ribosomal protein in the presence of Cre and crossing this with a mouse model expressing Cre in motor neurons, we can identify the translatome in vivo, in the motor neuron specifically. Crossing these mouse models with the severe Taiwanese SMA mouse model, the translatome of the motor neuron in vivo in SMA was identified. Multiple pathways have shown to be disrupted in the translation specifically in the motor neuron at the end-stage of the disease. Multiple targets can be identified and used in further research in the mechanism of translation and protein expression. Besides the mechanism in disease, this model can be used to understand the developmental changes in the translation during synapse elimination, a process that takes place in the first two weeks in mice. This process is involved in the maturation of the NMJ. The exact molecular processes within the motor neuron that influences the NMJ synapse elimination and therefore maturation, is unknown. Understanding and altering synapse elimination is important for potential drug treatments in preventing endplate denervation through the promotion of synapse maturation and maintenance. Using the tagged ribosomal protein, multiple clusters of mRNAs with different translation patterns have been identified in the motor neuron during the process of synapse elimination. Using these clusters, different compounds were used to alter the translation and determine the effect on synapse elimination in during this process. Two compounds of interest, gabapentin and citalopram, targeting a cluster which involved the translation of metabolic proteins, influences synapse elimination in multiple muscles. This could indicate a mechanism of the motor neuron that strongly influences the synapse elimination process. Overall, using a novel model, the main pathways altered in translation in the motor neuron in a severe SMA mouse model have been identified. At the same time, potential drugs have been shown to alter the normal NMJ development, which could further explain the molecular mechanisms involved in NMJ maturation.

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: A cosmological model in which primordial black holes (PBHs) are present in the cosmic fluid at some instant t=t_0 is investigated. The time t_0 is naturally identified with the end of the inflationary period. The PBHs are assumed to be nonrelativistic in the comoving fluid, to have the same mass, and may be subject to evaporation for t>t_0. Our present work is related to an earlier paper of Zimdahl and Pavon [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 58}, 103506 (1998)], but in contradistinction to these authors we assume that the (negative) production rate of the PBHs is zero. This assumption appears to us to be more simple and more physical. Consequences of the formalism are worked out. In particular, the four-divergence of the entropy four-vector in combination with the second law in thermodynamics show in a clear way how the the case of PBH evaporation corresponds to a production of entropy. Accretion of radiation onto the black holes is neglected. We consider both a model where two different sub-fluids interact, and a model involving one single fluid only. In the latter case an effective bulk viscosity naturally appears in the formalism.

description: Deep learning models demonstrate a considerable improvement in machine learning problems. On the other hand, using more complex models leads to less model interpretability if one needs to analyze and extract the most important features.
 Layer visualization techniques and CycleGAN are proposed for finding important features/regions. For example, the results can be potential biometrics in medical images.
 In this study, we used CycleGAN to translate images between CMB simulation to Planck observations. We also showed how one can find differences between simple simulations and model the simulation pipeline using CycleGAN.

description: We develop data structures for dynamic closest pair problems with arbitrary distance functions, that do not necessarily come from any geometric structure on the objects. Based on a technique previously used by the author for Euclidean closest pairs, we show how to insert and delete objects from an n-object set, maintaining the closest pair, in O(n log^2 n) time per update and O(n) space. With quadratic space, we can instead use a quadtree-like structure to achieve an optimal time bound, O(n) per update. We apply these data structures to hierarchical clustering, greedy matching, and TSP heuristics, and discuss other potential applications in machine learning, Groebner bases, and local improvement algorithms for partition and placement problems. Experiments show our new methods to be faster in practice than previously used heuristics.

description: Anomaly detection can be notably challenging in real-world situations considering the big data problem. The features that distinguish the anomalies are usually unknown. In this case, standard anomaly detection algorithms may perform very poorly because they do not get the correct features. Learning these features is challenging even with a few examples of anomalies. We introduce an algorithm based on dimensionality reduction methods. It learns about primary prototypes in the data while identifies the anomalies by their large distances from the prototypes. Besides, it can identify the anomalies as a new class and get customized to find interesting objects. We evaluated our algorithm on a wide variety of simulated and real datasets in up to 3000 dimensions. It shows to be robust and highly competitive with commonly-used anomaly detection algorithms, especially in high dimensions.

description: To correctly model the abundances of interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMS) in different environments, both formation and destruction routes should be appropriately accounted for. While several scenarios have been explored for the formation of iCOMs via grain and gas-phase processes, much less work has been devoted to understanding the relevant destruction pathways, with special reference to (dissociative) charge exchange or proton transfer reactions with abundant atomic and molecular ions such as He$^+$, H$_3^+$ and HCO$^+$. By using a combined experimental and theoretical methodology we provide new values for the rate coefficients and branching ratios (BRs) of the reactions of He$^+$ ions with two important iCOMs, namely dimethyl ether (DME) and methyl formate (MF). We also review the destruction routes of DME and MF by other two abundant ions, namely H$_3^+$ and HCO$^+$. Based on our recent laboratory measurements of cross sections and BRs for the DME/MF + He$^+$ reactions over a wide collision energy range, we extend our theoretical insights on the selectivity of the microscopic dynamics to calculate the rate coefficients $k(T)$ in the temperature range from 10 to 298 K. We implement these new and revised kinetic data in a general model of cold and warm gas, simulating environments where DME and MF have been detected. Due to stereodynamical effects present at low collision energies, the rate coefficients, BRs and temperature dependences here proposed differ substantially from those reported in KIDA and UDfA, two of the most widely used astrochemical databases. These revised rates impact the predicted abundances of DME and MF, with variations up to 40% in cold gases and physical conditions similar to those present in prestellar cores

Quantum vs stochastic processes and the role of complex numbers

description: We argue that the complex numbers are an irreducible object of quantum probability. This can be seen in the measurements of geometric phases that have no classical probabilistic analogue. Having complex phases as primitive ingredient implies that we need to accept non-additive probabilities. This has the desirable consequence of removing constraints of standard theorems about the possibility of describing quantum theory with commutative variables. Motivated by the formalism of consistent histories and keeping an analogy with the theory of stochastic processes, we develop a (statistical) theory of quantum processes. They are characterised by the introduction of a "density matrix" on phase space paths -thus including phase information- and fully reproduce quantum mechanical predictions. In this framework wecan write quantum differential equations, that could be interpreted as referring to a single system (in analogy to Langevin's equation). We describe a reconstruction theorem by which a quantum process can yield the standard Hilbert space structure if the Markov property is imposed. Finally, we discuss the relevance of our iresults for the interpretation of quantum theory (a sample space if possible if probabilities are non-additive) and quantum gravity (the Hilbert space arises after the consideration of a background causal structure).

description: This thesis concerns the making and performing of music with new digital musical instruments (DMIs) designed for ensemble performance. While computer music has advanced to the point where a huge variety of digital instruments are common in educational, recreational, and professional music-making, these instruments rarely seek to enhance the ensemble context in which they are used. Interaction models that map individual gestures to sound have been previously studied, but the interactions of ensembles within these models are not well understood. In this research, new ensemble-focussed instruments have been designed and deployed in an ongoing artistic practice. These instruments have also been evaluated to find out whether, and if so how, they affect the ensembles and music that is made with them. Throughout this thesis, six ensemble-focussed DMIs are introduced for mobile touch-screen computers. A series of improvised rehearsals and performances leads to the identification of a vocabulary of continuous performative touch-gestures and a system for tracking these collaborative performances in real time using tools from machine learning. The tracking system is posed as an intelligent agent that can continually analyse the gestural states of performers, and trigger a response in the performers' user interfaces at appropriate moments. The hypothesis is that the agent interaction and UI response can enhance improvised performances, allowing performers to better explore creative interactions with each other, produce better music, and have a more enjoyable experience. Two formal studies are described where participants rate their perceptions of improvised performances with a variety of designs for agent-app interaction. The first, with three expert performers, informed refinements for a set of apps. The most successful interface was redesigned and investigated further in a second study with 16 non-expert participants. In the final interface, each performer freely improvised with a limited number of notes; at moments of peak gestural change, the agent presented users with the opportunity to try different notes. This interface is shown to produce performances that are longer, as well as demonstrate improved perceptions of musical structure, group interaction, enjoyment and overall quality. Overall, this research examined ensemble DMI performance in unprecedented scope and detail, with more than 150 interaction sessions recorded. Informed by the results of lab and field studies using quantitative and qualitative methods, four generations of ensemble-focussed interface have been developed and refined. The results of the most recent studies assure us that the intelligent agent interaction does enhance improvised performances.

description: Governments have long standing interests in preventing market failures and enhancing innovation in strategic industries. Public policy regarding domestic technology is critical to both national security and economic prosperity. Governments often seek to enhance their global competitiveness by promoting private sector cooperative activity at the inter-organizational level. Research on network governance has illuminated the structure of boundary-spanning collaboration mainly for programs with immediate public or non-profit objectives. Far less research has examined how governments might accelerate private sector cooperation to prevent market failures or to enhance innovation. The theoretical contribution of this research is to suggest that government programs might catalyze cooperative activity by accelerating the preferential attachment mechanism inherent in social networks. We analyze the long-term effects of a government program on the strategic alliance network of 451 organizations in the high-tech semiconductor industry between 1987 and 1999, using stochastic network analysis methods for longitudinal social networks.

description: We derive all the axi-symmetric, vacuum and electrovac extremal isolated horizons. It turns out that for every horizon in this class, the induced metric tensor, the rotation 1-form potential and the pullback of the electromagnetic field necessarily coincide with those induced by the monopolar, extremal Kerr-Newman solution on the event horizon. We also discuss the general case of a symmetric, extremal isolated horizon. In particular, we analyze the case of a two-dimensional symmetry group generated by two null vector fields. Its relevance to the classification of all the symmetric isolated horizons, including the non-extremal once, is explained.

description: Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a vital food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, known for its high protein content and nutritional value. Despite its importance, cowpea production has struggled to meet the growing demand in the region. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) such as auxins, specifically Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA), play a crucial role in controlling plant growth and development. IAA is involved in processes like cell division, elongation, and fruit development. This study investigates the impact of IAA, a synthetic auxin, on cowpea seed development. While previous research has demonstrated the influence of PGRs on the growth and yield of other plants like mungbean and tomatoes, its specific effects on cowpea remain relatively unexplored. Understanding how auxins affect cowpea seeds is essential for breeding new varieties with improved traits.

The research examines whether IAA treatment can enhance cowpea seed quality, growth performance, and chemical composition. By shedding light on the interaction between auxins and cowpea seeds, this study aims to contribute valuable insights into optimizing cowpea production and meeting the region's nutritional needs

description: We show for the first time that the loop-driven kinetic mixing between visible and dark Abelian gauge bosons can facilitate dark matter production in the early Universe by creating a 'dynamic' portal, which depends on the energy of the process. The required smallness of the strength of the portal interaction, suited for freeze-in, is justified by a suppression arising from the mass of a heavy vector-like fermion. The strong temperature sensitivity associated with the interaction is responsible for most of the dark matter production during the early stages of reheating.
