Thermonuclear X-ray bursts across the eclipse transitions in the LMXBs EXO 0748-676 and XTE J1710-281
The primary radiation from thermonuclear X-ray bursts observed in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) systems can interact with various parts of the binary system. This interaction gives rise to secondary radiation in different wavelength ranges, known as reprocessed emission. In eclipsing LMXBs, the reprocessed emission from the bursts can be examined during eclipses, as the primary emission is blocked and only the reprocessed emission is visible. We searched for bursts during eclips…

Contractive kinetic Langevin samplers beyond global Lipschitz continuity
In this paper, we examine the problem of sampling from log-concave distributions with (possibly) superlinear gradient growth under kinetic (underdamped) Langevin algorithms. Using a carefully tailored taming scheme, we propose two novel discretizations of the kinetic Langevin SDE, and we show that they are both contractive and satisfy a log-Sobolev inequality. Building on this, we establish a series of non-asymptotic bounds in $2$-Wasserstein distance between the law reached by each algorithm a…

LensPlus: A High Space-bandwidth Optical Imaging Technique
The space-bandwidth product (SBP) imposes a fundamental limitation in achieving high-resolution and large field-of-view image acquisitions simultaneously. High-NA objectives provide fine structural detail at the cost of reduced spatial coverage and slower scanning as compared to a low-NA objective, while low-NA objectives offer wide fields of view but compromised resolution. Here, we introduce LensPlus, a deep learning-based framework that enhances the SBP of quantitative phase imaging (QPI) wi…

About the current state of Cara— Hi all, I’d like to address some users' concerns about Cara’s stability, algorithms and reach, and why we don’t actively promote Cara and recruit new users. I have touched on most of these before through other posts, but I’ll like to go over the main points and put them in one place since they often come up as recurring questions: — Cara’s longevity/stability > "A few weeks ago, after learning how much Jingna was struggling with her personal l…
