Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms trained on real astronomical observations now outperform astronomers in sifting through massive amounts of data. AI helps them to find new exploding stars, ...
Gravitational microlensing is a transient but powerful phenomenon that occurs when a foreground mass – such as a star or a planetary system – temporarily magnifies the light from a more distant ...
Astronomers have signalled the discovery of a planetary body roaming the Milky Way that is not gravitationally bound to the Sun or any other star. The entity is termed a free-floating planet, a class ...
The astronomers' goal: find an artificial intelligence algorithm to interpret microlensing events captured by the upcoming Roman Space Telescope and speed detection of exoplanets around other stars.
