Four Spiral Arms Walk into a Bar…

Four Spiral Arms Walk into a Bar…

by H Perry Hatchfield | Apr 7, 2021 | Daily Paper Summaries

Mapping the structure of dense gas in the Milky Way is a huge undertaking… which is why we have huge surveys!

Disentangling Milky Way Evolution with Disentangled Representation Learning, a New Tool for Chemical Tagging

Disentangling Milky Way Evolution with Disentangled Representation Learning, a New Tool for Chemical Tagging

by Catherine Manea | Mar 30, 2021 | Daily Paper Summaries

Chemical tagging without chemical abundances? Today’s authors devise a neural network that ‘disentangles’ chemical abundances from stellar spectra to avoid the uncertainties that often beset chemical taggers.
