Peering into the AI "Black Box": Interpretable Neural Networks Help Reveal the Nature of Dark Matter

The researchers developed an interpretable artificial intelligence framework named the Convolutional Kolmogorov–Arnold Network (CKAN) for studying the properties of dark matter on galaxy-cluster scales. HUANG Zhenyang, a master’s student at the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO), Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of Prof. WANG Na and Senior Engineer LIU Zhiyong,developed an interpretable artificial intelligence fr...

Study Unveils Secrets of Interstellar Scintillation in Millisecond Pulsar

The researchers revealed detailed scintillation characteristics of the millisecond pulsar B1937+21. Pulsars, often called “cosmic lighthouses”, emit regular radio pulses. As these signals traverse the turbulent interstellar space, they experience scintillation - similar to the twinkling of starlight. This phenomenon serves as a power...

Unveiling Sibling Star Clusters in the Milky Way: New Advances in Systematic Identification and Classification

Researchers have carried out a large, systematic study of binary open clusters in the Milky Way.Stars usually form in clusters, and such clusters can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs), defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. Their formation records how stars arise with...

Researchers reveal significant role of interstellar PAHs in molecular clouds

Researchers have made new progress in the study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in molecular clouds.Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important carriers of organic matter in the universe. They, as organic molecules, not only play a central role in interstellar chemistry but are also closely related to the origin of prebiotic ...

Researchers Unravel the Mystery of an OH Megamaser

Researchers conducted a high-resolution study of the OH MegaMaser emission in the ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) IRAS 15250+3609, and revealed the nature and structure of the OH MegaMaser emission in the galaxy.Using 1665/1667 MHz OH line and continuum spectrum observational data from the European VLBI Network (EVN) and the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN), Antneh Gashaye, a PhD student from the Xinjiang Astronomical O...
