Seventy new non-eclipsing BEER binaries discovered in CoRoT lightcurves and confirmed by RVs from AAOmega
We applied the BEER algorithm to the CoRoT lightcurves from the first five
LRc fields and identified non-eclipsing BEER candidates with periodic
lightcurve modulations and amplitudes of mmag. Medium-resolution
spectra of candidates were obtained in a seven-night AAOmega
radial-velocity (RV) campaign, with a precision of km/s. The RVs
confirmed the binarity of of the BEER candidates, with periods of
days.Comment: 2 pages, 1 figure, to appear in the CoRoT Symposium 3, Kepler KASC-7

BEER analysis of Kepler and CoRoT light curves. III. Spectroscopic confirmation of seventy new beaming binaries discovered in CoRoT light curves
(abridged for arXiv) The BEER algorithm searches stellar light curves for the
BEaming, Ellipsoidal, and Reflection photometric modulations that are caused by
a short-period companion. Applying the search to the first five long-run center
CoRoT fields, we identified non-eclipsing candidates with periodic flux
amplitudes of mmag. Optimizing the Anglo-Australian-Telescope pointing
coordinates and the AAOmega fiber-allocations with dedicated softwares, we
acquired six spectra for candidates and seven spectra for another
candidates in a seven-night campaign. Analysis of the red-arm AAOmega spectra,
which covered the range of , yielded a radial-velocity
precision of km/s. Spectra containing lines of more than one star were
analyzed with the two-dimensional correlation algorithm TODCOR. The measured
radial velocities confirmed the binarity of seventy of the BEER candidates
single-line binaries, double-line binaries, and diluted binaries. We
show that red giants introduce a major source of false candidates and
demonstrate a way to improve BEER's performance in extracting higher fidelity
samples from future searches of CoRoT light curves. The periods of the
confirmed binaries span a range of days and show a rise in the number
of binaries per log toward longer periods. The estimated mass ratios
of the double-line binaries and the mass ratios assigned to the single-line
binaries, assuming an isotropic inclination distribution, span a range of
. On the low-mass end, we have detected two brown-dwarf candidates on a
day period orbit. This is the first time non-eclipsing beaming binaries
are detected in CoRoT data, and we estimate that such binaries can be
detected in the CoRoT long-run light curves.Comment: 28 pages, 15 figures, and 11 tables. Accepted for publication in A&
Deep Functional Maps: Structured Prediction for Dense Shape Correspondence
We introduce a new framework for learning dense correspondence between
deformable 3D shapes. Existing learning based approaches model shape
correspondence as a labelling problem, where each point of a query shape
receives a label identifying a point on some reference domain; the
correspondence is then constructed a posteriori by composing the label
predictions of two input shapes. We propose a paradigm shift and design a
structured prediction model in the space of functional maps, linear operators
that provide a compact representation of the correspondence. We model the
learning process via a deep residual network which takes dense descriptor
fields defined on two shapes as input, and outputs a soft map between the two
given objects. The resulting correspondence is shown to be accurate on several
challenging benchmarks comprising multiple categories, synthetic models, real
scans with acquisition artifacts, topological noise, and partiality.Comment: Accepted for publication at ICCV 201
AERO: Audio Super Resolution in the Spectral Domain
We present AERO, a audio super-resolution model that processes speech and
music signals in the spectral domain. AERO is based on an encoder-decoder
architecture with U-Net like skip connections. We optimize the model using both
time and frequency domain loss functions. Specifically, we consider a set of
reconstruction losses together with perceptual ones in the form of adversarial
and feature discriminator loss functions. To better handle phase information
the proposed method operates over the complex-valued spectrogram using two
separate channels. Unlike prior work which mainly considers low and high
frequency concatenation for audio super-resolution, the proposed method
directly predicts the full frequency range. We demonstrate high performance
across a wide range of sample rates considering both speech and music. AERO
outperforms the evaluated baselines considering Log-Spectral Distance, ViSQOL,
and the subjective MUSHRA test. Audio samples and code are available at
