The Galah Survey : Classification and Diagnostics with t-SNE Reduction of Spectral Information

Galah is an ongoing high-resolution spectroscopic survey with the goal of disentangling the formation history of the Milky Way using the fossil remnants of disrupted star formation sites that are now dispersed around the Galaxy. It is targeting a randomly selected magnitude-limited (V ≤ 14) sample of stars, with the goal of observing one million objects. To date, 300,000 spectra have been obtained

The GALAH survey : Chemical tagging of star clusters and new members in the Pleiades

The technique of chemical tagging uses the elemental abundances of stellar atmospheres to 'reconstruct' chemically homogeneous star clusters that have long since dispersed. The GALAH spectroscopic survey - which aims to observe one million stars using the Anglo- Australian Telescope - allows us to measure up to 30 elements or dimensions in the stellar chemical abundance space, many of which are no

The TESS-HERMES survey data release 1 : High-resolution spectroscopy of the TESS southern continuous viewing zone

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will provide high-precision time series photometry for millions of stars with at least a half-hour cadence. Of particular interest are the circular regions of 12° radius centred around the ecliptic poles that will be observed continuously for a full year. Spectroscopic stellar parameters are desirable to characterize and select suitable targets for

The 2016-2017 peak luminosity of the pre-main sequence variable V2492 Cygni

Context. V2492 Cyg is a young pre-main sequence star presenting repetitive brightness variations of significant amplitude (R - 5 mag) whose physical origin has been ascribed to both extinction (UXor-type) and accretion (EXor-type) variability, although their mutual proportion has not been clarified yet. Recently, V2492 Cyg has reached a level of brightness ever registered in the period of its docu

The K2-HERMES Survey. I. Planet-candidate Properties from K2 Campaigns 1-3

Accurate and precise radius estimates of transiting exoplanets are critical for understanding their compositions and formation mechanisms. To know the planet, we must know the host star in as much detail as possible. We present first results from the K2-HERMES project, which uses the HERMES multi-object spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain R ∼ 28000 spectra of up to 360 stars i

The Gaia -ESO Survey : Double-, triple-, and quadruple-line spectroscopic binary candidates

Context. The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large spectroscopic survey that provides a unique opportunity to study the distribution of spectroscopic multiple systems among different populations of the Galaxy. Aims. Our aim is to detect binarity/multiplicity for stars targeted by the GES from the analysis of the cross-correlation functions (CCFs) of the GES spectra with spectral templates. Methods. We

The GALAH survey : The data reduction pipeline

We present the data reduction procedures being used by the GALactic Archeology with Hermes (GALAH) survey, carried out with the HERMES fibre-fed, multi-object spectrograph on the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope. GALAH is a unique survey, targeting 1 million stars brighter than magnitude V = 14 at a resolution of 28 000 with a goal to measure the abundances of 29 elements. Such a large number of h

Approximate integrals of motion

We determine approximate numerical integrals of motion of 2D symmetric Hamiltonian systems. We detail for a few gravitational potentials the conditions under which quasi-integrals are obtained as polynomial series. We show that each of these potentials has a wide range of regular orbits that are accurately modelled with a unique approximate integral of motion.

Digitalisering och AI inom familjejuridiken

Allt högre krav ställs på juristbranschen att bli digital – kanske särskilt på aktörer som erbjuder familjerättslig rådgivning – där banker och andra organisationer än de klassiska byråerna tar allt större mark och påskyndar utvecklingen. Titti Mattsson och Lotta Dahlstrand diskuterar hur juristbranschen och juristrollen påverkas av digitaliseringen och användandet av artificiell intelligens (AI)

Characterising the temporal evolution of fixation in human post mortem brain via linear relaxometry modelling – a marker of cross-linking?

MRI-based biophysical models are typically validated by comparison to ex-vivo histology of fixed tissue. The fixation process itself and the accompanied autolysis processes strongly modify tissue composition, and lead to MR signal changes, making the validation of biophysical models for in vivo MRI particularly challenging. To better understand the temporal evolution of the fixation process within

Magnetization transfer (MT) of human brain at 7T in the context of a 3D multi-parameter mapping protocol

3D multi-gradient echo MRI can be used to estimate T1, T2*, PD and the magnetization transfer (MT), which is increasingly used for multi-parametricmapping (MPM) of human brain. The increased polarization at 7T compared to lower B0 allows for increased spatial resolution or reduced scantimes. However, SAR restrictions imposed on the MT pulse and B1 inhomogeneity pose challenges. In this work, we pr

Removing bias and increasing dynamic range in DREAM flip angle mapping at 7T

DREAM is an ultra-fast multi-slice B1+-mapping technique based on the single-shot STEAM sequence. To study noise and bias related to slice-profiles, DREAM B1+-maps at 3.75 mm resolution were acquired at 7T in phantoms and in human brain with nominal flip angles (FA) between 20° and 90° of the two STEAM preparation pulses. B1+ was decreasing at actual FAs above 50°; noise became apparent at actual

Non-negative least squares fitting of multi-exponential T2 decay data: Are we able to accurately measure the fraction of myelin water?

The ability to determine the myelin water fraction (MWF) in vivo is essential to assessments of neurodevelopmental myelination and myelin damage in neurodegenerative diseases. The analysis of multi-exponential T2 decay data relies on the non-negative-least-squares (NNLS) fitting, which may be sensitive to the chosen fitting parameters. We performed simulations to explore the outcomes of NNLS under

Towards the modelling of pedestrian wind speed using high-resolution digital surface models and statistical methods

Wind is a complex phenomenon and a critical fac-tor in assessing climatic conditions and pedestrian comfortwithin cities. To obtain spatial information on near-groundwind speed, 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model-ling is often used. This is a computationally intensive methodwhich requires extensive computer resources and is time con-suming. By using a simpler 2D method, larger areas can b
