A ubiquitous unifying degeneracy in two-body microlensing systems

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 …

A Ubiquitous Unifying Degeneracy in 2-body Microlensing Systems

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 …

Classification of periodic variable stars with novel cyclic-permutation invariant neural networks

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 …

Real-time Likelihood-free Inference of Roman Binary Microlensing Events with Amortized Neural Posterior Estimation

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 …
