Description
A large-scale three-dimensional model of Galactic extinction is presented based on the Galactic dust distribution model of citet{DS01}. The extinction AV to any point within the Galactic disk can be quickly deduced using a set of three-dimensional Cartesian grids. Extinctions from the model are compared to empirical extinction measures, including lines-of-sight in and near the Galactic plane using optical and NIR extinction measures; in particular we show how extinction can be derived from NIR color-magnitude diagrams in the Galactic plane to a distance of 8 kiloparsec.

    ExoMiner++: Enhanced Transit Classification and a New Vetting Catalog for 2-minute TESS Data
    We present ExoMiner++, an enhanced deep learning model that builds on the success of ExoMiner to improve transit signal classification in 2-minute TESS data. ExoMiner++ incorporates additional diagnostic inputs, including periodogram, flux trend, difference image, unfolded flux, and spacecraft attitude control data, all of which are crucial for

    Characterising the short-orbital period X-ray transient Swift J1910.2–0546
    Context.Swift J1910.2–0546 (=MAXI J1910‑057) is a Galactic X-ray transient discovered during a bright outburst in 2012. Its X-ray spectral and timing properties point to a black-hole accretor, yet the orbital period remains uncertain, and no reliable dynamical constraints on the binary parameters are available. The 2012 event, extensively monitored
