    Single-epoch supernova classification with deep convolutional neural networks

    Supernovae Type-Ia (SNeIa) play a significant role in exploring the history of the expansion of the Universe, since they are the best-known standard candles with which we can accurately measure the distance to the objects. Finding large samples of SNeIa and investigating their detailed characteristics have become an important issue in cosmology and astronomy. Existing methods relied on a photometric approach that first measures the luminance of supernova candidates precisely and then fits the results to a parametric function of temporal changes in luminance. However, it inevitably requires multi-epoch observations and complex luminance measurements. In this work, we present a novel method for classifying SNeIa simply from single-epoch observation images without any complex measurements, by effectively integrating the state-of-the-art computer vision methodology into the standard photometric approach. Our method first builds a convolutional neural network for estimating the luminance of supernovae from telescope images, and then constructs another neural network for the classification, where the estimated luminance and observation dates are used as features for classification. Both of the neural networks are integrated into a single deep neural network to classify SNeIa directly from observation images. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method and reveal classification performance comparable to existing photometric methods with multi-epoch observations.Comment: 7 pages, published as a workshop paper in ICDCS2017, in June 201

    Compatibility between Jacobi structures and pseudo-Riemannian cometrics on Jacobi algebroids

    Full text link
    We define compatibility between Jacobi structures and pseudo-Riemannian cometrics on Jacobi algebroids. This notion is a generalization of the compatibility between Poisson structures and pseudo-Riemannian cometrics on manifolds, which was defined by Boucetta. We show that the compatibility with a cometric is ``preserved'' by the Poissonization of a Jacobi structure. Furthermore, we prove that for a contact pseudo-metric structure on a manifold, satisfying the compatibility condition is equivalent to being a Sasakian pseudo-metric structure.Comment: 17 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2112.0349

    A search for nonresonant Higgs boson pair production in the b ¯ b b ¯ b final state is presented. The analysis uses 126     fb − 1 of p p collision data at √ s = 13     TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, and targets both the gluon-gluon fusion and vector-boson fusion production modes. No evidence of the signal is found and the observed (expected) upper limit on the cross section for nonresonant Higgs boson pair production is determined to be 5.4 (8.1) times the Standard Model predicted cross section at 95% confidence level. Constraints are placed on modifiers to the H H H and H H V V couplings. The observed (expected) 2 σ constraints on the H H H coupling modifier, κ λ , are determined to be [ − 3.5 , 11.3 ] ( [ − 5.4 , 11.4 ] ), while the corresponding constraints for the H H V V coupling modifier, κ 2 V , are [ − 0.0 , 2.1 ] ( [ − 0.1 , 2.1 ] ). In addition, constraints on relevant coefficients are derived in the context of the Standard Model effective field theory and Higgs effective field theory, and upper limits on the H H production cross section are placed in seven Higgs effective field theory benchmark scenarios
