The workshop aimed to define the needs and potential\u0000synergies for different facilities at wavelengths from 30 {mu}m to a few cm in\u0000the post-2030 era, considering both financial and programmatic limitations and\u0000exploring how to maximize the scientific insights from the data they will yield\u0000in the coming decades. This wavelength range provides unique probes of relatively cool, dense\u0000interstellar material central to studying the physics and chemistry of nascent\u0000stars, proton-planetary disks, and young forming exoplanets.

However, it was considered\u0000quite challenging due to various factors, including the increased effects of\u0000atmospheric opacity and turbulence at millimeter wavelengths. Here, we present\u0000the results of the first geodetic-mode VLBI experiment, simultaneously\u0000observing 82 sources at 22/43/88/132 GHz (K/Q/W/D bands) using the Korean VLBI\u0000Network (KVN). We introduced the frequency phase transfer (FPT) method to\u0000geodetic VLBI analysis, an approach for calibrating atmospheric phase\u0000fluctuations at higher frequencies by transferring phase solutions from lower\u0000frequencies. With a 2-minute scan, FPT improved the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)\u0000of most fringes, some by over 100%, thereby enhancing the detection rate of\u0000weak sources at millimeter wavebands. Additionally, FPT reduced systematic\u0000errors in group delay and delay rate, with the weighted root-mean-squares\u0000(WRMS) of the post-fitting residuals decreasing from 25.0 ps to 20.5 ps at the\u0000W band and from 39.3 ps to 27.6 ps at the D band.

In this\u0000work, we introduce a novel unsupervised deep learning pipeline to analyse a\u0000representative subsample of the Galactic SNR population ($sim$ 50% of the\u0000total) with the aim of finding a connection between their multi-wavelength\u0000features and their physical properties. The pipeline involves two stages: (1) a\u0000representation learning stage, consisting of a convolutional autoencoder that\u0000feeds on imagery from infrared and radio continuum surveys (WISE 22$mu$m,\u0000Hi-GAL 70 $mu$m and SMGPS 30 cm) and produces a compact representation in a\u0000lower-dimensionality latent space; and (2) a clustering stage that seeks\u0000meaningful clusters in the latent space that can be linked to the physical\u0000properties of the SNRs and their surroundings. Our results suggest that this\u0000approach, when combined with an intermediate uniform manifold approximation and\u0000projection (UMAP) reprojection of the autoencoded embeddings into a more\u0000clusterable manifold, enables us to find reliable clusters. Despite a large\u0000number of sources being classified as outliers, most clusters relate to the\u0000presence of distinctive features, such as the distribution of infrared\u0000emission, the presence of radio shells and pulsar wind nebulae, and the\u0000existence of dust filaments.","PeriodicalId":501163,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142217346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Wave effect of gravitational waves intersected with a microlens field II: an adaptive hierarchical tree algorithm and population study","authors":"Xikai Shan, Guoliang Li, Xuechun Chen, Wen Zhao, Bin Hu, Shude Mao","doi":"arxiv-2409.06747","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2409.06747","url":null,"abstract":"The gravitational lensing wave effect generated by a microlensing field\u0000embedded in a lens galaxy is an inevitable phenomenon in strong lensed\u0000gravitational waves (SLGWs). This effect presents both challenges and\u0000opportunities for the detection and application of SLGWs. However,\u0000investigating this wave effect requires computing a complete diffraction\u0000integral over each microlens in the field. This is extremely time-consuming due\u0000to the large number of microlenses. Therefore, simply adding all the\u0000microlenses is impractical. Additionally, the complexity of the time delay\u0000surface makes the lens plane resolution a crucial factor in controlling\u0000numerical errors. In this paper, we propose a trapezoid approximation-based\u0000adaptive hierarchical tree algorithm to meet the challenges of calculation\u0000speed and precision. We find that this algorithm accelerates the calculation by\u0000four orders of magnitude compared to the simple adding method and is one order\u0000of magnitude faster than the fixed hierarchical tree algorithm proposed for\u0000electromagnetic microlensing. More importantly, our algorithm ensures\u0000controllable numerical errors, increasing confidence in the results. Together\u0000with our previous work, this paper addresses all numerical issues, including\u0000integral convergence, precision, and computational time. Finally, we conducted\u0000a population study on the microlensing wave effect of SLGWs using this\u0000algorithm and found that the microlensing wave effect cannot be ignored,\u0000especially for Type II SLGWs due to their intrinsic geometric structures and\u0000their typical intersection with a denser microlensing field. Statistically,\u0000more than 33% (11%) of SLGWs have a mismatch larger than 1% (3%) compared to\u0000the unlensed waveform. Additionally, we found that the mismatch between signal\u0000pairs in a doubly imaged GW is generally larger than 10^{-3}, and 61% (25%) of\u0000signal pairs have a mismatch larger than 1% (3%).","PeriodicalId":501163,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142217336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
