The paper presents a physics-informed neural network (PINN) that accelerates multilayer spectral inversion (MLSI) of solar chromospheric lines Hα 6562.8 Å and Ca II 8542.1 Å. The PINN predicts MLSI parameters from observed line profiles and uses a differentiable forward model to synthesize spectra, trained in two stages—first with spectral reconstruction loss, then fine‑tuned with conventional MLSI results on a single reference image. Applied to Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph data, the method reproduces key spatial structures and achieves a 12–60× speedup, processing a raster in 5–15 s versus 3–5 min for traditional MLSI.
arXiv:2606. 08563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While global data-driven models excel at predicting continuous atmospheric variables, three-dimensional hydrometeor forecasting remains challenging due to the zero-inflated, long-tailed distributions of these variables.
The study presents a spatially aware deep learning framework that retrieves all‑sky tropospheric temperature and humidity profiles from the Meteosat Third Generation Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) without relying on numerical weather prediction background fields. Using a Residual U‑Net trained on 14 months of collocated FCI observations and CERRA reanalysis data, the model achieves temperature biases below 0.4 K and relative humidity standard deviations between 12–20 %, with modest performance degradation under cloud cover. Ablation and feature‑sensitivity analyses confirm that incorporating spatial context across all 16 FCI channels, including visible and near‑infrared bands, improves retrieval accuracy, especially beneath cloud tops.
The paper presents a probabilistic machine‑learning framework for classifying low‑ and high‑resolution stellar and extragalactic spectra, targeting the upcoming 4MOST survey. Four approaches were evaluated—CNNs, Dirichlet distribution, Monte Carlo dropout (MCD), and Bayesian neural networks with variational inference—using SDSS data and a 4MOST mock dataset. The MCD‑augmented CNN achieved the highest accuracies (92.6% on SDSS, 93.9% on mock data) while also delivering well‑calibrated uncertainty estimates with minimal extra computational cost.
arXiv:2606. 18932v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the observational incompleteness of intermediate-to-long-period Earth-size planets, we present TransitNet, a compact attention-augmented deep-learning framework for low-SNR transit blind searches.
The paper introduces a neural‑network based local‑box chemical kinetics solver for exoplanet atmospheres, employing a residual flow‑map architecture. It achieves microsecond‑scale inference with percent‑level accuracy across a wide range of temperatures, pressures, time steps, and compositional variations, outperforming other machine‑learning models and handling the extreme stiffness of atmospheric chemistry. The surrogate model offers a flexible, efficient alternative to classical solvers for state‑to‑state flow‑map problems in numerical simulations.
