Image Fidelity is Not Field Fidelity: Joint Thermodynamic Reconstruction and Error Localization in Neural Tomography

The paper introduces CoroNeRF, a method that jointly optimizes 3D electron density and temperature fields from multi‑view, multi‑line solar coronal tomography data using a differentiable atomic‑emission renderer. It demonstrates that low 2D image error does not guarantee accurate 3D field reconstruction, and that cross‑seed instability can rank local field errors without ground truth. The study highlights the limitations of image fidelity as a proxy for field fidelity and evaluates seed‑based error localization in a controlled solar tomography setting.

Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Fast Multilayer Spectral Inversion of H{\alpha} 6562.8 A and Ca II 8542.1 A Spectra

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.

STRADAViT: Self-Supervised Domain Adaptation of Vision Transformer Backbones for Radio Astronomy

STRADAViT is a self‑supervised continued‑pretraining framework that adapts Vision Transformer (ViT) backbones for radio‑astronomy image analysis. It curates mixed‑survey data, generates radio‑astronomy‑aware training views, and initializes encoders with ViT‑MAE, optionally adding register tokens. Evaluations on three morphology benchmarks (MiraBest, LoTSS DR2, and Radio Galaxy Zoo) show that a register‑based two‑stage checkpoint improves linear‑probe Macro‑F1 scores over the ViT‑MAE baseline and enhances fine‑tuning on MiraBest and RGZ DR1, though performance on LoTSS DR2 fine‑tuning declines; these differences are statistically significant.
