• Authors: Yue Xiang, Shenghong Gu, Dongtao Cao
• Abstract summary: We apply variational autoencoder (VAE) to the LAMOST-K2 low-resolution spectra to detect magnetic activity of the stars in the K2 field. We measure the emissions of the chromospheric activity indicators, H$alpha$ and Ca$rm small II$ infrared triplet (IRT) lines. For cool active stars, we reveal a good agreement between the equivalent widths (EWs) of H$alpha$ line derived from the spectra with two resolutions.

• Abstract: We apply the variational autoencoder (VAE) to the LAMOST-K2 low-resolution spectra to detect the magnetic activity of the stars in the K2 field. After the training on the spectra of the selected inactive stars, the VAE model can efficiently generate the synthetic reference templates needed by the spectral subtraction procedure, without knowing any stellar parameters. Then we detect the peculiar spectral features, such as chromospheric emissions, strong nebular emissions and lithium absorptions, in our sample. We measure the emissions of the chromospheric activity indicators, H$\alpha$ and Ca$~{\rm {\small II}}$ infrared triplet (IRT) lines, to quantify the stellar magnetic activity. The excess emissions of H$\alpha$ and Ca$~{\rm {\small II}}$ IRT lines of the active stars are correlated well to the rotational periods and the amplitudes of light curves derived from the K2 photometry. We degrade the LAMOST spectra to simulate the slitless spectra of the planned China Space Station Telescope (CSST) and apply the VAE to the simulated data. For cool active stars, we reveal a good agreement between the equivalent widths (EWs) of H$\alpha$ line derived from the spectra with two resolutions. The result indicates the ability of identifying the magnetically active stars in the future CSST survey, which will deliver an unprecedented large database of low-resolution spectra as well as simultaneous multi-band photometry of stars.

  Several terrestrial detectors for gravitational waves and dark matter based on long-baseline atom interferometry are currently in the final planning stages or already under construction. We show that resonant-mode detectors based on multi-diamond fountain gradiometers achieve the optimal, shot-noise limited, sensitivity if their height constitutes 20% of the available baseline.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
