Tricorder Tech: A.I. / Machine Learning: Adaptive Sampling With PIXL On Mars Perseverance
Editor’s note: From the paper’s Introduction: “At the time of this writing, PIXL’s adaptive sampling capability has been operating on Mars for over 951 sols (martian days), with over 52 […]
![Analysis of the stellar parameters derived with our methodology. The dots are colour-coded according to the estimated metallicity. The size of the dots is proportional to the estimated projected rotational velocity. The top left panel shows a Kiel diagram, with the red, black, and blue dashed lines corresponding to 5 Gyr PARSEC isochrones with [M/H] = −0.4, 0.0 and 0.1 dex, respectively. Empty squares represent the stars reported to have a behaviour akin to subdwarfs both in Mar21 and Schw19 (same for bottom left panel). Top right: black and grey dashed lines correspond to solar metallicity PARSEC isochrones for 5 and 0.1 Gyr, respectively. Black and grey dotted lines correspond to solar metallicity Baraffe et al. (2015) isochrones for 5 and 0.1 Gyr, respectively. Bottom left: triangles represent stars identified as Hα active in Schöfer et al. (2019). Empty stars depict members of the thick disc Galactic population (Cortés-Contreras et al., in prep.). Bottom right: plus symbols correspond to stars identified as members of the young disc Galactic population by Cortés-Contreras et al. (in prep.). Empty circles represent stars with a possible membership in a young stellar associaton, as explained in Section 4.1. -- astro-ph.SR](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Using-Autoencoders-And-Deep.png?resize=1200%2C717&ssl=1)

![[L] The planet radius histogram showing the radius gap at ∼1.8 Earth radii. The blue and red lines are kernel density estimations of the smoothed underlying distribution and identify the location of the radius separating the two planet populations (∼ 1.8), and the peaks of the two planet populations at 1.5 and 2.4 Earth radii. -- astro-ph.SR [R] The XUV flux received by planets compared to their gravitational potential in order to determine the possible atmospheric escape process following the method in Salz et al. (2016). The rapid hydrodynamical escape process applies to the left of the red dashed line. Slower, Jeans escape applies to the right of the blue solid line. Markers are crosses for planets above the radius gap and circles for planets below the radius gap. -- astro-ph.SR](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ExoplANETS-A.png?resize=1200%2C712&ssl=1)
