We update the capabilities of the open-knowledge software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). RSP is a new functionality in MESAstar that models the non-linear radial stellar pulsations that characterize RR…

The derivation of radial velocities from large numbers of spectra that typically result from survey work, requires automation. However, except for the classical cases of slowly rotating late-type spectra, existing methods of measuring…

Radar-based human activity recognition has gained attention as a privacy-preserving alternative to vision and wearable sensors, especially in sensitive environments like long-term care facilities. Micro-Doppler spectrograms derived from…

Currently, there is a high interest in Lu-177 targeted radionuclide therapies, which could be attributed to favourable results obtained from Lu-177 compounds targeting neuroendocrine and prostate tumours. Generally, it has been recognized…

Doppler spectroscopy is a powerful tool for discovering and characterizing exoplanets. For decades, the standard approach to extracting radial velocities (RVs) has been to cross-correlate observed spectra with a weighted template mask.…

Spectroscopy is a powerful tool for detecting variability in the rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) stars. The technique requires short integrations times and high resolution, and so is limited to only a few telescopes and instruments. To test…

We present the systemic Console, a new all-in-one, general-purpose software package for the analysis and combined multiparameter fitting of Doppler radial velocity (RV) and transit timing observations. We give an overview of the…

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a powerful and popular dimensionality reduction technique. However, due to its linear nature, it often fails to capture the complex underlying structure of real-world data. While Kernel PCA (kPCA)…

There are several cutting edge applications needing PCA methods for data on tori and we propose a novel torus-PCA method with important properties that can be generally applied. There are two existing general methods: tangent space PCA and…

The Planetary Transits and Oscillations of stars mission (PLATO) will allow us to measure surface rotation and monitor photometric activity of tens of thousands of main sequence solar-type and subgiant stars. This paper is the first of a…

We describe techniques to characterise the light-curves of regular variable stars by applying principal component analysis (PCA) to a training set of high quality data, and to fit the resulting light-curve templates to sparse and noisy…

We propose a stable version of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in the general framework of a separable Hilbert space. It consists in interpreting the projection on the first eigenvectors as a step function applied to the spectrum of the…

Fast and accurate climate simulations and weather predictions are critical for understanding and preparing for the impact of climate change. Real-world weather and climate modeling consist of complex compound stencil kernels that do not…

We analyze periodicities in radial velocity (RV) measurements and magnetic activity indicators (S-index and BIS) for 767 Gaia RV standard stars to distinguish between stellar activity and planetary signals. Significant RV periods were…

The detection of exoplanets using any method is prone to confusion due to the intrinsic variability of the host star. We investigate the effect of cool starspots on the detectability of the exoplanets around solar-like stars using the…

Attenuation correction (AC) is necessary for accurate activity quantification in positron emission tomography (PET). Conventional reconstruction methods typically rely on attenuation maps derived from a co-registered computed tomography…

Robust principal component analysis (RPCA) can recover low-rank matrices when they are corrupted by sparse noises. In practice, many matrices are, however, of high-rank and hence cannot be recovered by RPCA. We propose a novel method called…

We identify and correct for small but coherent instrumental drifts in seven years of radial velocity data from the EXtreme PREcision Spectrograph (EXPRES). The systematics are most notable for the six months before and after 2022 January,…
