Shape Models of Lucy Targets (3548) Eurybates and (21900) Orus from Disk-integrated Photometry

We use our new light curves, along with historical data, to determine the rotation state, photometric properties, and convex shape models of the targets of the Lucy mission (3548) Eurybates and (21900) Orus. We determine a retrograde spin for both targets, ...

Self-Supervision By Prediction For Object Discovery In Videos

Pascal Frossard, Beril Besbinar

Despite their irresistible success, deep learning algorithms still heavily rely on annotated data, and unsupervised settings pose many challenges, such as finding the right inductive bias in diverse scenarios. In this paper, we propose an object-centric mo ...

Virtual reality to assess visual attraction and perceived interest to daylit scene variations

Marilyne Andersen, Caroline Karmann, Kynthia Chamilothori, Bahar Aydemir

Façades and light pattern composition have been shown to influence the spatial experience and physiological responses of humans [1,2]. The present study examines the effect of sunlight penetration and window size on fixations to the floor of the scene, and ...

State-to-state methane-surface scattering as a probe of catalytic activity

Rainer Beck, Maarten Eduard van Reijzen, Bo-Jung Chen, Jörn Werdecker

Quantum state-resolved scattering experiments for methane molecules colliding with a catalytically active nickel surface are compared to scattering from a nickel surface passivated by a single layer of graphene. The vibrational state distribution of the sc ...

State-to-state scattering of CH₄ from Ni(111) and Gr/Ni(111)

Maarten Eduard van Reijzen

In this thesis, I describe the design and implementation of the first state-to-state surface scattering experiments for methane from clean single crystalline surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum. The experiments use infrared laser pumping to prepare the incident C ...

[C II] and 12CO (1-0) emission maps in HLSJ091828. 6+ 514223: a strongly lensed interacting system at z= 5.24

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Johan Richard

We present Submillimeter Array [ C II] 158 mu m and Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (CO)-C-12(1-0) line emission maps for the bright, lensed, submillimeter source at z = 5.2430 behind A 773: HLSJ091828.6+514223 (HLS0918). We combine these measurements with ...

Near-Infrared Guided Color Image Dehazing

Sabine Süsstrunk, Chen Feng

Near-infrared (NIR) light has stronger penetration capability than visible light due to its long wavelength, thus being less scattered by particles in the air. This makes it desirable for image dehazing to unveil details of distant objects in landscape pho ...

MEMS Inertial Sensor to Measure the Gravity Gradient Torque in Orbit

Kaustav Ghose

Since the dawn of the Space Age, over six thousand satellites have been launched into Earth orbit. The function of determining the orientation of a satellite in orbit, so that it can point its antennas and instruments in the required direction is known as ...

First case of strong gravitational lensing by a QSO: SDSS J0013+1523 at z=0.120

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes, François Henri Ambroise Rérat

We present the first case of strong gravitational lensing by a QSO: SDSS J0013 + 1523 at z = 0.120. The discovery is the result of a systematic search for emission lines redshifted behind QSOs, among 22 298 spectra of the SDSS data release 7. Apart from th ...

Color Image Dehazing using the Near-Infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk, Lex Schaul

In landscape photography, distant objects often appear blurred with a blue color cast, a degradation caused by atmospheric haze. To enhance image contrast, pleasantness and information content, dehazing can be performed. We propose that fusing a visible an ...
