Infrared dim tiny-sized target detection based on feature fusion by Peng Zhang, Yaman Jing, Guodong Liu, Ziyang Chen, Xiaoyan Wu, Osami Sasaki, Jixiong Pu

“…The module aims to extract and enhance the position information of the target, serving as a feature map for subsequent guidance. Furthermore, to tackle the problem of the fuzzy and ambiguous shape of the target caused by a weak signal and tiny dimension, a residual-based pyramid-like (RBPL) module is designed, which extracts the deep information (i.e. the shape information) from the images to compensate for the lack of expressive ability of the fixed convolution kernel for shape information. …”

Interior Convection Regime, Host Star Luminosity, and Predicted Atmospheric CO2 Abundance in Terrestrial Exoplanets by Antonin Affholder, Stéphane Mazevet, Boris Sauterey, Dániel Apai, Régis Ferrière

“…Despite this unexpected similarity, we predict that a mission capable of detecting atmospheric CO _2 abundance above 0.1 bar in 25 terrestrial exoplanets is extremely likely (≥95% of samples) to infer the dominant interior convection regime in that sample with strong evidence (10:1 odds). This offers guidance for the specifications of the Habitable Worlds Observatory NASA concept mission and other future missions capable of probing samples of habitable exoplanets.…”
