Compact radio sources have been observed to undergo large, frequency dependent changes in intensity due to lensing by structures in the interstellar medium, in so-called "extreme scattering events" (ESEs). While the study of astrophysical…
Dimensionality reduction algorithms are often used to visualise high-dimensional data. Previously, studies have used prior information to enhance or suppress expected patterns in projections. In this paper, we adapt such techniques for…
