• Abstract: Can a machine or algorithm discover or learn the elliptical orbit of Mars from astronomical sightings alone? Johannes Kepler required two paradigm shifts to discover his First Law regarding the elliptical orbit of Mars. Firstly, a shift from the geocentric to the heliocentric frame of reference. Secondly, the reduction of the orbit of Mars from a three- to a two-dimensional space. We extend AI Feynman, a physics-inspired tool for symbolic regression, to discover the heliocentricity and planarity of Mars' orbit and emulate his discovery of Kepler's first law.

  We introduce NEOviz, an interactive visualization system designed to assist planetary defense experts in the visual analysis of near-Earth objects. In particular, we present a novel approach for visualizing the 3D uncertainty region through which an asteroid travels. For potential impactors, we combine the 3D visualization with an uncertainty-aware impact map to illustrate the potential risks to human populations.

• Revisiting mass-radius relationships for exoplanet populations: a machine learning insight [0.0]
  We employ efficient machine learning approaches to analyze a dataset comprising 762 confirmed exoplanets and eight Solar System planets. By applying different unsupervised clustering algorithms, we classify the data into two main classes:'small' and 'giant' planets. Our analysis highlights that planetary mass, orbital period, and stellar mass play crucial roles in predicting exoplanet radius.

• Machine Learning for Mars Exploration [0.0]
  A portion of exploration of Mars has been conducted through the autonomous collection and analysis of Martian data by spacecraft such as the Mars rovers and the Mars Express Orbiter. The autonomy used on these Mars exploration spacecraft and on Earth to analyze data collected by these vehicles mainly consist of machine learning. Additional applications of machine learning techniques for Mars exploration have potential to resolve communication limitations and human risks of interplanetary exploration.

  A machine learning algorithm for partitioning the nuclear vibrational space into subspaces is introduced. The subdivision criterion is based on Liouville's theorem, i.e. best preservation of the unitary of the reduced dimensionality Jacobian determinant. The algorithm is applied to the divide-and-conquer semiclassical calculation of the power spectrum of 12-atom trans-N-Methylacetamide.

  Our work focuses on the optical detection of man-made objects in Geostationary orbit (GEO) GEO object detection is challenging due to the distance of the targets, which appear as small dim points among a clutter of bright stars. We propose a novel multi-target detection technique based on topological sweep, to find GEO objects from a short sequence of optical images.

• Proposal for an optical interferometric measurement of the gravitational red-shift with satellite systems [52.77024349608834]
  Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP) underpins all metric theories of gravity. The iconic gravitational red-shift experiment places two fermionic systems, used as clocks, in different gravitational potentials. A fundamental point in the implementation of a satellite large-distance optical interferometric experiment is the suppression of the first-order Doppler effect. We propose a novel scheme to suppress it, by subtracting the phase-shifts measured in the one-way and in the two-way configuration between a ground station and a satellite.
