We now know that the outer solar system is host to at least six diverse planetary ring systems, each of which is a scientifically compelling target with the potential to inform us about the evolution, history and even the internal structure of the body it adorns. These diverse ring systems represent a set of distinct local laboratories for understanding the physics and dynamics of planetary disks, with applications reaching beyond our Solar System. We highlight the current status of planetary rings science and the open questions before the community to promote continued Earth-based and spacecraft-based investigations into planetary rings. As future spacecraft missions are launched and more powerful telescopes come online in the decades to come, we urge NASA for continued support of investigations that advance our understanding of planetary rings, through research and analysis of data from existing facilities, more laboratory work and specific attention to strong rings science goals during future mission selections.
我们现在知道,外太阳系至少有六个不同的行星环系统,每一个都是科学上引人注目的目标,有可能告诉我们它所装饰的天体的进化、历史甚至内部结构。这些不同的环系统代表了一组不同的本地实验室,用于理解行星盘的物理和动力学,其应用范围超出了我们的太阳系。我们强调了行星环科学的现状和摆在社区面前的开放性问题,以促进持续的基于地球和航天器的行星环研究。随着未来航天器任务的发射和更强大的望远镜在未来几十年上线,我们敦促NASA继续支持研究,通过对现有设施数据的研究和分析,更多的实验室工作,并在未来的任务选择中特别关注强环科学目标,从而提高我们对行星环的理解。

Measurements of redshifted 21-cm emission of neutral hydrogen at <30 MHz have the potential to probe the cosmic "dark ages," a period of the universe's history that remains unobserved to date. Observations at these frequencies are exceptionally challenging because of bright Galactic foregrounds, ionospheric contamination, and terrestrial radio-frequency interference. Very few sky maps exist at <30 MHz, and most have modest resolution. We introduce the Array of Long Baseline Antennas for Taking Radio Observations from the Sub-Antarctic (ALBATROS), a new experiment that aims to image low-frequency Galactic emission with an order-of-magnitude improvement in resolution over existing data. The ALBATROS array will consist of antenna stations that operate autonomously, each recording baseband data that will be interferometrically combined offline. The array will be installed on Marion Island and will ultimately comprise 10 stations, with an operating frequency range of 1.2-125 MHz and maximum baseline lengths of ~20 km. We present the ALBATROS instrument design and discuss pathfinder observations that were taken from Marion Island during 2018-2019.
测量在<30兆赫的红移21厘米发射的中性氢,有可能探测到宇宙的“黑暗时代”,这是宇宙历史上迄今为止尚未被观测到的一段时期。由于明亮的银河系前景、电离层污染和地面射频干扰,在这些频率上的观测非常具有挑战性。很少有小于30mhz的天空图存在,而且大多数都有中等分辨率。我们介绍了用于从亚南极进行无线电观测的长基线天线阵列(ALBATROS),这是一个新的实验,旨在成像低频星系发射,其分辨率比现有数据提高了一个数量级。ALBATROS阵列将由自主运行的天线站组成,每个天线站记录基带数据,这些数据将在脱机时进行干涉组合。该阵列将安装在马里恩岛,最终将包括10个站点,工作频率范围为1.2-125 MHz,最大基线长度约为20公里。我们介绍了ALBATROS仪器的设计,并讨论了2018-2019年在马里恩岛进行的探路者观测。

Observing the Polarized Cosmic Microwave Background From the Earth: Scanning Strategy and Polarimeters Test for the Lspe/strip Instrument 从地球观测极化宇宙微波背景:Lspe/条形仪器的扫描策略和偏振计测试

Detecting B-mode polarization anisotropies on large angular scales in the CMB polarization pattern is one of the major challenges in modern observational cosmology since it would give us an important evidence in favor of the inflationary paradigm and would shed light on the physics of the very early Universe. Multi-frequency observations are required to disentangle the very weak CMB signal from diffuse polarized foregrounds originating by radiative processes in our galaxy. The "Large Scale Polarization Explorer" (LSPE) is an experiment that aims to constrain the ratio between the amplitudes of tensor and scalar modes and to study the polarized emission of the Milky Way. LSPE is composed of two instruments: SWIPE, a stratospheric balloon operating at 140, 210 and 240 GHz that will fly for two weeks in the Northern Hemisphere during the polar night of 2021, and STRIP, a ground-based telescope that will start to take data in early 2021 from the "Observatorio del Teide" in Tenerife observing the sky at 43 GHz and 95 GHz. In my thesis, I show the results of the unit-level tests campaign on the STRIP detectors that took place at "Universit`a degli Studi di Milano Bicocca" from September 2017 to July 2018, and I present the code I developed and the simulations I performed to study the STRIP scanning strategy. During the unit-level tests, more than 800 tests on 68 polarimeters have been performed in order to select the 55 with the best performance in terms of central frequencies, bandwidths, noise temperatures, white noise levels, slopes and knee frequencies. The STRIP scanning strategy is based on spinning the telescope around the azimuth axis with constant elevation in order to overlap the SWIPE coverage maintaining a sensitivity of 1.6 {mu}K (on average) per sky pixels of 1{deg}. Individual sources will be periodically observed both for calibration and study purposes.
在大角度尺度上探测CMB偏振模式的b模偏振各向异性是现代观测宇宙学的主要挑战之一,因为它将为我们提供支持暴胀范式的重要证据,并将揭示非常早期宇宙的物理学。我们需要多频观测来从银河系辐射过程中产生的弥漫性极化前景中分离出非常微弱的CMB信号。“大尺度偏振探测器”(Large Scale Polarization Explorer, LSPE)是一项旨在限制张量模和标量模振幅之比并研究银河系偏振发射的实验。LSPE由两种仪器组成:SWIPE是一种平流层气球,工作频率为140、210和240 GHz,将于2021年极夜在北半球飞行两周;STRIP是一种地面望远镜,将于2021年初开始从特内里费岛的“泰德天文台”(Observatorio del Teide)获取数据,观测43 GHz和95 GHz的天空。在我的论文中,我展示了2017年9月至2018年7月在米兰比可卡大学(Universit a degli Studi di Milano Bicocca)对STRIP检测器进行的单元级测试活动的结果,并展示了我开发的代码和我为研究STRIP扫描策略而进行的模拟。在单位级测试期间,对68个偏振光计进行了800多次测试,以选择在中心频率、带宽、噪声温度、白噪声级、斜率和膝频率方面性能最佳的55个偏振光计。STRIP扫描策略是基于望远镜围绕方位轴以恒定仰角旋转,以重叠SWIPE覆盖,保持每1{度}天空像素1.6 {mu}K(平均)的灵敏度。个别来源将定期观察,以作校正和研究之用。

Quantum vacuum fluctuations fundamentally limit the precision of optical measurements, such as those in gravitational-wave detectors. Injection of conventional squeezed vacuum can be used to reduce quantum noise in the readout quadrature, but this reduction is at the cost of increasing noise in the orthogonal quadrature. For detectors near the limits imposed by quantum radiation pressure noise (QRPN), both quadratures impact the measurement, and the benefits of conventional squeezing are limited. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of a critically-coupled 16m optical cavity to diminish anti-squeezing at frequencies below 90Hz where it exacerbates QRPN, while preserving beneficial squeezing at higher frequencies. This is called an amplitude filter cavity, and it is useful for avoiding degradation of detector sensitivity at low frequencies. The attenuation from the cavity also provides technical advantages such as mitigating backscatter.
量子真空涨落从根本上限制了光学测量的精度,例如引力波探测器。传统的压缩真空注入可以用来降低读出正交中的量子噪声,但这种降低是以增加正交中的噪声为代价的。对于接近量子辐射压力噪声(QRPN)限制的探测器,两种正交都会影响测量,并且传统压缩的好处有限。在本文中,我们演示了使用一个临界耦合的16米光腔来减少频率低于90Hz的抗压缩,因为它会加剧QRPN,同时在更高频率下保留有益的压缩。这被称为幅度滤波腔,它有助于避免探测器在低频时灵敏度的下降。来自腔体的衰减也提供了诸如减轻反向散射等技术优势。

The National Academy Committee on Astrobiology and Planetary Science (CAPS) made a recommendation to study a large/medium-class dedicated space telescope for planetary science, going beyond the Discovery-class dedicated planetary space telescope endorsed in Visions and Voyages. Such a telescope would observe targets across the entire solar system, engaging a broad spectrum of the science community. It would ensure that the high-resolution, high-sensitivity observations of the solar system in visible and UV wavelengths revolutionized by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) could be extended. A dedicated telescope for solar system science would: (a) transform our understanding of time-dependent phenomena in our solar system that cannot be studied currently under programs to observe and visit new targets and (b) enable a comprehensive survey and spectral characterization of minor bodies across the solar system, which requires a large time allocation not supported by existing facilities. The time-domain phenomena to be explored are critically reliant on high spatial resolution UV-visible observations. This paper presents science themes and key questions that require a long-lasting space telescope dedicated to planetary science that can capture high-quality, consistent data at the required cadences that are free from effects of the terrestrial atmosphere and differences across observing facilities. Such a telescope would have excellent synergy with astrophysical facilities by placing planetary discoveries made by astrophysics assets in temporal context, as well as triggering detailed follow-up observations using larger telescopes. The telescope would support future missions to the Ice Giants, Ocean Worlds, and minor bodies across the solar system by placing the results of such targeted missions in the context of longer records of temporal activities and larger sample populations.
美国国家科学院天体生物学和行星科学委员会(CAPS)建议,在《愿景与航行》杂志认可的“发现”级专用行星空间望远镜的基础上,研究一种用于行星科学的大中型专用空间望远镜。这样的望远镜将观测整个太阳系的目标,吸引科学界的广泛参与。它将确保由哈勃太空望远镜(HST)革新的对太阳系可见光和紫外波长的高分辨率、高灵敏度观测能够得到扩展。一台用于太阳系科学的专用望远镜将:(A)改变我们对太阳系中与时间有关的现象的理解,这些现象目前无法在观测和访问新目标的计划中进行研究;(b)能够对整个太阳系的小天体进行全面的调查和光谱表征,这需要大量的时间分配,而现有的设施不支持。要探索的时域现象严重依赖于高空间分辨率的紫外可见观测。本文提出了科学主题和关键问题,这些主题和关键问题需要一个致力于行星科学的持久空间望远镜,能够以所需的节奏捕获高质量、一致的数据,而不受地面大气的影响和观测设施之间的差异。这样的望远镜将通过将天体物理学资产所发现的行星置于时间背景中,并触发使用更大望远镜进行详细的后续观测,与天体物理学设施产生极好的协同作用。通过将这些目标任务的结果放在更长的时间活动记录和更大样本人口的背景下,该望远镜将支持未来对冰巨人、海洋世界和太阳系小天体的任务。

Planetary spatial data returned by spacecraft, including images and higher-order products such as mosaics, controlled basemaps, and digital elevation models (DEMs), are of critical importance to NASA, its commercial partners and other space agencies. Planetary spatial data are an essential component of basic scientific research and sustained planetary exploration and operations. The Planetary Data System (PDS) is performing the essential job of archiving and serving these data, mostly in raw or calibrated form, with less support for higher-order, more ready-to-use products. However, many planetary spatial data remain not readily accessible to and/or usable by the general science user because particular skills and tools are necessary to process and interpret them from the raw initial state. There is a critical need for planetary spatial data to be more accessible and usable to researchers and stakeholders. A Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructure (PSDI) is a collection of data, tools, standards, policies, and the people that use and engage with them. A PSDI comprises an overarching support system for planetary spatial data. PSDIs (1) establish effective plans for data acquisition; (2) create and make available higher-order products; and (3) consider long-term planning for correct data acquisition, processing and serving (including funding). We recommend that Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructures be created for all bodies and key regions in the Solar System. NASA, with guidance from the planetary science community, should follow established data format standards to build foundational and framework products and use those to build and apply PDSIs to all bodies. Establishment of PSDIs is critical in the coming decade for several locations under active or imminent exploration, and for all others for future planning and current scientific analysis.
航天器返回的行星空间数据,包括图像和高阶产品,如马赛克、控制底图和数字高程模型(dem),对NASA、其商业合作伙伴和其他空间机构至关重要。行星空间数据是基础科学研究和持续的行星探测和操作的重要组成部分。行星数据系统(PDS)正在执行对这些数据进行归档和提供服务的基本工作,这些数据主要以原始或校准的形式存在,对高阶、更易于使用的产品的支持较少。然而,许多行星空间数据仍然不容易获得和(或)一般科学用户使用,因为需要特殊的技能和工具才能从原始的初始状态处理和解释这些数据。迫切需要使研究人员和利益攸关方更容易获得和使用行星空间数据。行星空间数据基础设施(PSDI)是数据、工具、标准、政策以及使用和参与这些数据的人员的集合。PSDI包括行星空间数据的总体支持系统。(1)建立有效的数据采集计划;(2)创造并提供高阶产品;(3)考虑正确的数据采集、处理和服务的长期规划(包括资金)。我们建议为太阳系的所有天体和关键区域建立行星空间数据基础设施。NASA在行星科学界的指导下,应遵循既定的数据格式标准来构建基础和框架产品,并使用这些标准来构建pdsi并将其应用于所有天体。在未来十年中,对于一些正在进行或即将进行勘探的地点,以及所有其他用于未来规划和当前科学分析的地点,建立psdi至关重要。

Planetary spatial data are an essential component of basic scientific research and sustained planetary exploration and operations. The Planetary Data System (PDS) is performing the essential job of archiving and serving these data, mostly in raw or calibrated form, with less support for higher-order, more ready-to-use products. However, many planetary spatial data remain not readily accessible to and/or usable by the general science user because particular skills and tools are necessary to process and interpret them from the raw initial state. There is a critical need for planetary spatial data to be more accessible and usable to researchers and stakeholders. A Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructure (PSDI) is a collection of data, tools, standards, policies, and the people that use and engage with them. A PSDI comprises an overarching support system for planetary spatial data. PSDIs (1) establish effective plans for data acquisition; (2) create and make available higher-order products; and (3) consider long-term planning for correct data acquisition, processing and serving (including funding). We recommend that Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructures be created for all bodies and key regions in the Solar System. NASA, with guidance from the planetary science community, should follow established data format standards to build foundational and framework products and use those to build and apply PDSIs to all bodies. Establishment of PSDIs is critical in the coming decade for several locations under active or imminent exploration, and for all others for future planning and current scientific analysis.","PeriodicalId":8459,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics","volume":"50 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91497778","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}

Optimal extraction of echelle spectra: Getting the most out of observations 梯队光谱的最佳提取:最大限度地利用观测结果

The price of instruments and observing time on modern telescopes is quickly increasing with the size of the primary mirror. Therefore, it is worth revisiting the data reduction algorithms to extract every bit of scientific information from observations. Echelle spectrographs are typical instruments in high-resolution spectroscopy, but attempts to improve the wavelength coverage and versatility of these instruments results in a complicated and variable footprint of the entrance slit projection onto the science detector. Traditional spectral extraction methods fail to perform a truly optimal extraction, when the slit image is not aligned with the detector columns but instead is tilted or even curved. We here present the mathematical algorithms and examples of their application to the optimal extraction and the following reduction steps for echelle spectrometers equipped with an entrance slit, that is imaged with various distortions, such as variable tilt and curvature. The new method minimizes the loss of spectral resolution, maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio, and efficiently identifies local outliers. In addition to the new optimal extraction we present order splicing and a more robust continuum normalization algorithms. We have developed and implemented new algorithms that create a continuum-normalized spectrum. In the process we account for the (variable) tilt/curvature of the slit image on the detector and achieve optimal extraction without prior assumptions about the slit illumination. Thus the new method can handle arbitrary image slicers, slit scanning, and other observational techniques aimed at increasing the throughput or dynamic range. We compare our methods with other techniques for different instruments to illustrate superior performance of the new algorithms compared to commonly used procedures.
随着主镜的增大,现代望远镜的仪器价格和观测时间也在迅速增加。因此,有必要重新审视数据约简算法,从观测中提取每一点科学信息。梯队光谱仪是高分辨率光谱学中的典型仪器,但试图提高这些仪器的波长覆盖范围和多功能性,导致入口狭缝投影到科学探测器上的足迹复杂多变。传统的光谱提取方法无法实现真正的最佳提取,当狭缝图像不与检测器柱对齐,而是倾斜甚至弯曲时。本文给出了数学算法,并举例说明了这些算法在带入口狭缝的梯队光谱仪的最优提取和以下约简步骤中的应用,该梯队光谱仪具有各种畸变,如可变倾斜和曲率。该方法最大限度地降低了光谱分辨率的损失,提高了信噪比,有效地识别了局部异常点。除了新的最优提取算法外,我们还提出了顺序拼接算法和一种更鲁棒的连续统归一化算法。我们已经开发并实现了创建连续归一化频谱的新算法。在此过程中,我们考虑了检测器上狭缝图像的(可变)倾斜/曲率,并在没有关于狭缝照明的预先假设的情况下实现了最佳提取。因此,新方法可以处理任意图像切片器、狭缝扫描和其他旨在增加吞吐量或动态范围的观测技术。我们将我们的方法与不同仪器的其他技术进行比较,以说明与常用程序相比,新算法的优越性能。

We outline a flagship-class mission concept focused on studying Titan as a global system, with particular emphasis on the polar regions. Investigating Titan from the unique standpoint of a polar orbit would enable comprehensive global maps to uncover the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, and the topography and geophysical environment of the surface and subsurface. The mission includes two key elements: (1) an orbiter spacecraft, which also acts as a data relay, and (2) one or more small probes to directly investigate Titan's seas and make the first direct measurements of their liquid composition and physical environment. The orbiter would carry a sophisticated remote sensing payload, including a novel topographic lidar, a long-wavelength surface-penetrating radar, a sub-millimeter sounder for winds and for mesospheric/thermospheric composition, and a camera and near-infrared spectrometer. An instrument suite to analyze particles and fields would include a mass spectrometer to focus on the interactions between Titan's escaping upper atmosphere and the solar wind and Saturnian magnetosphere. The orbiter would enter a stable polar orbit around 1500 to 1800 km, from which vantage point it would make global maps of the atmosphere and surface. One or more probes, released from the orbiter, would investigate Titan's seas in situ, including possible differences in composition between higher and lower latitude seas, as well as the atmosphere during the parachute descent. The number of probes, as well as the instrument complement on the orbiter and probe, remain to be finalized during a mission study that we recommend to NASA as part of the NRC Decadal Survey for Planetary Science now underway, with the goal of an overall mission cost in the "small flagship" category of ~$2 bn. International partnerships, similar to Cassini-Huygens, may also be included for consideration.
我们概述了一个旗舰级的任务概念,重点研究泰坦作为一个全球系统,特别强调极地地区。从极地轨道的独特角度调查土卫六,将使全面的全球地图能够揭示大气的物理和化学,以及地表和地下的地形和地球物理环境。该任务包括两个关键要素:(1)一个轨道飞行器,它也起到数据中继的作用;(2)一个或多个小型探测器,直接调查土卫六的海洋,并首次直接测量其液体成分和物理环境。轨道飞行器将携带一个复杂的遥感有效载荷,包括一个新型的地形激光雷达,一个长波表面穿透雷达,一个用于风和中间层/热层成分的亚毫米测深仪,以及一个照相机和近红外光谱仪。一套用于分析粒子和磁场的仪器将包括一台质谱仪,用于研究土卫六逃逸的高层大气与太阳风和土星磁层之间的相互作用。轨道飞行器将进入大约1500至1800公里的稳定极地轨道,从这个有利位置,它将绘制大气和地表的全球地图。从轨道飞行器上释放的一个或多个探测器将对土卫六的海洋进行实地调查,包括高纬度和低纬度海洋之间可能存在的成分差异,以及降落伞降落时的大气。探测器的数量,以及轨道器和探测器上的仪器补充,在我们向美国宇航局推荐的任务研究期间仍有待最终确定,作为NRC行星科学十年调查的一部分,目前正在进行中,目标是总任务成本在“小型旗舰”类别约20亿美元。类似于卡西尼号-惠更斯号的国际伙伴关系也可能列入考虑范围。

Constraining prebiotic chemistry through a better understanding of Earth’s earliest environments 通过更好地了解地球最早的环境来限制生命前化学

Any search for present or past life beyond Earth should consider the initial processes and related environmental controls that might have led to its start. As on Earth, such an understanding lies well beyond how simple organic molecules become the more complex biomolecules of life, because it must also include the key environmental factors that permitted, modulated, and most critically facilitated the prebiotic pathways to life's emergence. Moreover, we ask how habitability, defined in part by the presence of liquid water, was sustained so that life could persist and evolve to the point of shaping its own environment. Researchers have successfully explored many chapters of Earth's coevolving environments and biosphere spanning the last few billion years through lenses of sophisticated analytical and computational techniques, and the findings have profoundly impacted the search for life beyond Earth. Yet life's very beginnings during the first hundreds of millions of years of our planet's history remain largely unknown--despite decades of research. This report centers on one key point: that the earliest steps on the path to life's emergence on Earth were tied intimately to the evolving chemical and physical conditions of our earliest environments. Yet, a rigorous, interdisciplinary understanding of that relationship has not been explored adequately and once better understood will inform our search for life beyond Earth. In this way, studies of the emergence of life must become a truly interdisciplinary effort, requiring a mix that expands the traditional platform of prebiotic chemistry to include geochemists, atmospheric chemists, geologists and geophysicists, astronomers, mission scientists and engineers, and astrobiologists.
任何对地球外现在或过去生命的探索都应该考虑可能导致生命起源的初始过程和相关的环境控制。就像在地球上一样,这样的理解远远超出了简单的有机分子如何成为更复杂的生命生物分子,因为它还必须包括允许、调节和最关键地促进生命出现的益生元途径的关键环境因素。此外,我们还想知道,部分由液态水定义的宜居性是如何维持的,以便生命能够持续存在并进化到形成自己环境的程度。研究人员通过复杂的分析和计算技术,成功地探索了过去几十亿年地球共同进化环境和生物圈的许多章节,这些发现对寻找地外生命产生了深远的影响。然而,尽管经过了几十年的研究,在地球历史的最初数亿年里,生命的起源在很大程度上仍然是未知的。这份报告集中在一个关键点上:地球上生命出现的最早步骤与我们最早的环境中不断进化的化学和物理条件密切相关。然而,对这种关系的严谨的、跨学科的理解还没有得到充分的探索,一旦得到更好的理解,将为我们寻找地外生命提供信息。这样一来,对生命出现的研究必须成为一项真正的跨学科努力,需要将传统的生命前化学平台扩展到包括地球化学家、大气化学家、地质学家和地球物理学家、天文学家、任务科学家和工程师以及天体生物学家。

Deep generative models for galaxy image simulations 用于星系图像模拟的深度生成模型

Image simulations are essential tools for preparing and validating the analysis of current and future wide-field optical surveys. However, the galaxy models used as the basis for these simulations are typically limited to simple parametric light profiles, or use a fairly limited amount of available space-based data. In this work, we propose a methodology based on Deep Generative Models to create complex models of galaxy morphologies that may meet the image simulation needs of upcoming surveys. We address the technical challenges associated with learning this morphology model from noisy and PSF-convolved images by building a hybrid Deep Learning/physical Bayesian hierarchical model for observed images, explicitly accounting for the Point Spread Function and noise properties. The generative model is further made conditional on physical galaxy parameters, to allow for sampling new light profiles from specific galaxy populations. We demonstrate our ability to train and sample from such a model on galaxy postage stamps from the HST/ACS COSMOS survey, and validate the quality of the model using a range of second- and higher-order morphology statistics. Using this set of statistics, we demonstrate significantly more realistic morphologies using these deep generative models compared to conventional parametric models. To help make these generative models practical tools for the community, we introduce GalSim-Hub, a community-driven repository of generative models, and a framework for incorporating generative models within the GalSim image simulation software.
图像模拟是准备和验证当前和未来宽视场光学调查分析的重要工具。然而,作为这些模拟基础的星系模型通常仅限于简单的参数光轮廓,或者使用相当有限的可用空间数据。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种基于深度生成模型的方法来创建复杂的星系形态模型,以满足即将到来的调查的图像模拟需求。我们通过为观测图像构建混合深度学习/物理贝叶斯层次模型,明确考虑点扩散函数和噪声特性,解决了与从噪声和psf卷积图像中学习该形态学模型相关的技术挑战。生成模型进一步以物理星系参数为条件,以允许从特定星系群中采样新的光剖面。我们展示了我们在HST/ACS COSMOS调查的星系邮票上训练和采样这样一个模型的能力,并使用一系列二阶和高阶形态学统计来验证模型的质量。使用这组统计数据,与传统的参数模型相比,我们使用这些深度生成模型展示了更真实的形态。为了帮助这些生成模型成为社区的实用工具,我们介绍了GalSim- hub,一个社区驱动的生成模型存储库,以及一个将生成模型整合到GalSim图像仿真软件中的框架。
