While gravitational microlensing by planetary systems$^1,2$ provides unique vistas on the properties of exoplanets$^3$, observations of a given two-body microlensing event can often be interpreted with multiple distinct physical configurations. Such …
While gravitational microlensing by planetary systems can provide unique vistas on the properties of exoplanets, observations of such 2-body microlensing events can often be explained with multiple and distinct physical configurations, so-called …
We present Cyclic-Permutation Invariant Neural Networks, a novel class of neural networks (NNs) designed to be invariant to phase shifts of period-folded periodic sequences by means of 'symmetry padding'. In the context of periodic variable star …
Fast and automated inference of binary-lens, single-source (2L1S) microlensing events with sampling-based Bayesian algorithms (e.g., Markov Chain Monte Carlo, MCMC) is challenged on two fronts: the high computational cost of likelihood evaluations …
