Next group social
by haffert＠strw.leidenuniv.nl 11 May '25

11 May '25

Hi all, I want to propose our next social event for May 20th. That’s not next Tuesday but the Tuesday after next. I was thinking if the weather is good, we could go to Katwijk and have dinner at the beach. And if the weather is bad, we can do a potluck at my place. So, I will be checking the weather forecast and make a decision next weekend. Please let me know if you would like to join. Then I know how many people will be there. Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards, Dr. Sebastiaan Haffert Assistant professor Leiden Observatory, Leiden University Einsteinweg 55, 2333 CC, Leiden, The Netherlands

[instrumentation meeting] Presentation bachelor project (Oort room BM 4.33 @ 11:00)
by Michiel Darcis 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Hi all, Today we have a presentation from Bowen and Ethan on the progress of their Bachelor project on creating mineral moon maps for Cubesat missions. Their project is the following: The main goal is making a mineral moon map using visual data and a relatively simple setup as a preparation for a CubeSat mission. To achieve this goal two main methods of obtaining data are used. One method focusses on combining a spectrograph with an RGB camera setup. The other is using a hyperspectrograph. The aim of the project is to compare the methods, testing there feasibility and gain an idea of what to expect from the results of the CubeSat mission. Besides that, taken data can also be used to further train existing AI programs used for classifying the minerals found within this data, as well as expanding the knowledge within in visual range which is lacking compared to the well observed infrared range. After the presentation we will continue with the usual slides so send them to haffert(a)strw.leidenuniv.nl<mailto:haffert@strw.leidenuniv.nl> and m.darcis(a)sron.nl<mailto:m.darcis@sron.nl>.

[instrumentation meeting] Dr. Long presentation (Oort room BM 4.33 @ 11:00)
by Michiel Darcis 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Hi all, Today we have our guest Dr. Long giving a talk during our meeting. You can find a reminder on the content below. This will take ~30 minutes and afterwards we will continue with the usual slide roulette. So still send your two slides to haffert(a)strw.leidenuniv.nl<mailto:haffert@strw.leidenuniv.nl> and m.darcis(a)sron.nl<mailto:m.darcis@sron.nl>. Looking forward to seeing you there. Cheers, Michiel Title: More data than you want, fewer data than you need: machine learning approaches to starlight subtraction with MagAO-X Abstract: High-contrast imaging relies on post-processing to remove residual starlight from the host star to reveal planets and disks. Most observers do this with principal components analysis (i.e. KLIP) using modes computed from the science images themselves. These modes may not be orthogonal to planet and disk signals, leading to over-subtraction. The wavefront sensor data recorded during the observation provide an independent signal with which to predict the instrument point-spread function. MagAO-X is an extreme adaptive optics system for the 6.5-meter Magellan Clay telescope. MagAO-X is designed to save all sensor information, including millions of kHz-speed wavefront measurements per observation. My approach combines a GPU-accelerated physical optical model and a machine learning model within the same automatic differentiation framework (specifically JAX by Google) to "learn" a mapping from wavefront sensor frames to the inputs of a physical optics model. This preserves the interpretability of the model while also enforcing physical constraints. I will present progress so far in constructing and training such a model, as well as some future directions I plan to explore. Michiel Darcis is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
