The investigation of the emergence of life is a major endeavour of science. Astronomy is contributing to it in three fundamental manners: (1) by measuring the chemical enrichment of the Universe, (2) by investigating planet formation and searching for exoplanets with signatures of life and, (3) by determining the abundance of aminoacids and the chemical routes to aminoacid and protein growth in astronomical bodies. This proposal deals with the first two. In the Voyage to 2050, the world-wide scientific community is getting equipped with large facilities for the investigation of the emergence of life in the Universe (i.e. VLT, JWST, ELT, GMT, TMT, ALMA, FAST, VLA, ATHENA, SKA) including the ESA's CHEOPS, PLATO and ARIEL missions. This white paper is a community effort to call for the development of a large ultraviolet optical observatory to gather fundamental data for this investigation that will not be accessible through other ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. A versatile space observatory with UV sensitivity a factor of 50-100 greater than existing facilities will revolutionize our understanding of the pathway to life in the Universe.

Using numerical hydrodynamics calculations and a novel method for densely sampling parameter space, we measure the accretion and torque on a binary system from a circumbinary disk. In agreement with previous studies, we find that the net torque on the binary is positive for mass ratios close to unity, and that accretion always drives the binary towards equal mass. Accretion variability depends sensitively on the numerical sink prescription, but the torque and relative accretion onto each component do not depend on the sink timescale. Positive torque and highly variable accretion occurs only for mass ratios greater than around $0.05$. This means that for mass ratios below $0.05$, the binary would migrate inward until the secondary accreted sufficient mass, after which it would execute a U-turn and migrate outward. We explore a range of viscosities, from $\alpha = 0.03$ to $\alpha = 0.15$, and find that this outward torque is proportional to the viscous torque, simply proportional to viscosity in this range. Dependence of accretion and torque on mass ratio is explored in detail, densely sampling mass ratios between $0.01$ and unity. For mass ratio $q > 0.6$, accretion variability is found to exhibit a distinct sawtooth pattern, typically with a five-orbit cycle that provides a "smoking gun" prediction for variable quasars observed over long periods, as a potential means to confirm the presence of a binary.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of different generative models in recreating the missing spectra of galaxies in the nearby universe, specifically focusing on the impact of galaxy evolution and environmental effects.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it?

However, these approaches are limited by their inability to capture the complexity of galaxy evolution and environmental effects. This paper proposes a more sophisticated approach using generative models, which can learn the underlying patterns in the data and generate more realistic synthetic spectra.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors used several generative models, including GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), VAEs (Variational Autoencoders), and MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) to generate synthetic spectra for missing galaxies in different environments. They also compared the performance of these models with traditional linear combinations of known spectra.

A: Figures 1-3 and Tables 1-2 are the most frequently referenced in the text, as they provide a general overview of the study sample, the galaxy evolution models, and the performance of the generative models.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference to "Liu et al. (2019)" is cited the most frequently in the paper, as it provides a detailed description of the GANs used in this study. The reference to "Moe & Di Stefano (2017)" is also commonly cited, as it discusses the limitations of traditional linear combinations of known spectra for galaxy evolution studies.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: This paper has the potential to revolutionize the field of galaxy evolution by providing a more accurate and efficient way of recreating missing spectra, which can be used to study the properties of galaxies in different environments and at different times in the universe's history.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors acknowledge that their approach is limited by the quality and quantity of the training data used to train the generative models.

We construct realistic equity option market simulators based on generative adversarial networks (GANs). We consider recurrent and temporal convolutional architectures, and assess the impact of state compression. Option market simulators are highly relevant because they allow us to extend the limited real-world data sets available for the training and evaluation of option trading strategies. We show that network-based generators outperform classical methods on a range of benchmark metrics, and adversarial training achieves the best performance. Our work demonstrates for the first time that GANs can be successfully applied to the task of generating multivariate financial time series.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to address the issue of underfitting in deep learning models, particularly in the context of time series forecasting tasks. The authors argue that current methods for dealing with this issue, such as early stopping and regularization, can be insufficient or lead to overfitting. They propose a new approach based on the use of multiple instance learning, which they demonstrate can improve upon the previous state of the art in terms of both accuracy and computational efficiency.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art for deep learning models for time series forecasting tasks was the use of long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, which have shown promising results in various studies. However, these models can suffer from underfitting, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex tasks. The proposed approach in this paper, based on multiple instance learning, improves upon the previous state of the art by addressing the issue of underfitting and providing more accurate predictions while reducing computational costs.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conduct a series of experiments to evaluate the performance of their proposed approach. They use several benchmark datasets for time series forecasting tasks and compare the results obtained with their method against those obtained using LSTM networks and other state-of-the-art methods. They also perform ablation studies to analyze the contribution of different components of their approach.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1, 3, and 5 are referenced the most frequently in the text, as they provide a visual representation of the performance of the proposed method compared to other methods. Figure 1 shows the overall performance of the different approaches tested on several benchmark datasets, while Figure 3 compares the results obtained with the proposed method against those obtained using LSTM networks. Figure 5 provides more detailed information about the performance of the proposed method on a specific dataset.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The most frequently cited reference is the paper by Zhang et al. (2017) [5], which provides a detailed overview of the use of LSTM networks for time series forecasting tasks and serves as a benchmark for comparison with the proposed approach. Other citations are given in the context of related work on deep learning methods for time series forecasting, such as the paper by Wang et al. (2019) [4], which discusses the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for this task.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper could have a significant impact on the field of deep learning and time series forecasting tasks, as it proposes a new approach that improves upon the previous state of the art in terms of both accuracy and computational efficiency. By addressing the issue of underfitting in deep learning models, the proposed method has the potential to enable more accurate predictions and improve decision-making in various applications, such as finance, healthcare, and energy management.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that it focuses solely on time series forecasting tasks and does not consider other related applications, such as image or text classification. Additionally, the authors do not provide a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical underpinnings of their approach, which could be an area for future research.

The element boron belongs, together with lithium and beryllium, to a known trio of important elements for the study of evolutionary processes in low mass stars. Because B is the least fragile of this trio to be destroyed in the stellar interiors, it can be used to test if the Li enrichment is of planetary origin. Here, for the first time, boron lines are examined in the UV for four giants with different degrees of large Li enrichment by means of observations with the Hubble telescope. Two main results are found in our study. One is that to first approximation B abundances appear not to be in excess, invalidating the planet engulfment mechanism. The second one is that the two stars with very large Li abundances present emission lines indicating that quite strong active chromospheres are acting in these very Li-rich giants. These new results obtained from the UV complement our recent studies in the mid-IR (de la Reza et al. 2015) where strong emission-line features of organic material were found in the spectra of some Li-rich stars.

This paper improves upon the previous state of the art by providing new experimental data that can be used to constrain model parameters and improve the accuracy of predictions.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The paper proposes a set of experiments using a novel technique for detecting COCS in the ISM, which involves measuring the absorption of light by these compounds as they pass through interstellar gas clouds. The experiments involve the use of a high-resolution spectrograph to observe the absorption lines of COCS in the near-infrared range.

The latest developments in astrochemistry have shown how some molecular species can be used as a tool to study the early stages of the solar-type star formation process. Among them, the more relevant species are the interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) and the deuterated molecules. Their analysis give us information on the present and past history of protostellar objects. Among the protostellar evolutionary stages, Class I protostars represent a perfect laboratory in which to study the initial conditions for the planet formation process. Indeed, from a physical point of view, the Class I stage is the bridge between the Class 0 phase, dominated by the accretion process, and the protoplanetary disk phase, when planets form. Despite their importance, few observations of Class I protostars exist and very little is known about their chemical content. In this paper we review the (few) existing observations of iCOMs and deuterated species in Class I protostars. In addition, we present new observations of deuterated cyanoacetylene and thioformaldehyde towards the Class I protostar SVS13-A. These new observations allow us to better understand the physical and chemical structure of SVS13-A and compare the cyanoacetylene and thioformaldehyde deuteration with other sources in different evolutionary phases.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The paper builds upon previous studies that have investigated the relationship between the charge distribution and dipole moment functions of molecules, but it provides a more comprehensive analysis and new insights into the impact of these relationships on chemical desorption. The paper also uses advanced computational methods and simulations to better understand the behavior of these molecules in different environments.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The paper does not present any experimental results, as it is a theoretical study focused on investigating the relationship between the charge distribution and dipole moment functions of CO and related molecules using computational methods.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1-3 and Tables 1-2 are referenced the most frequently in the text, as they provide a visual representation of the charge distribution and dipole moment functions of CO and related molecules, as well as their relationships. These figures and tables are important for understanding the results presented in the paper.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference (162) by Harrison is cited the most frequently in the paper, as it provides a detailed analysis of the relationship between the charge distribution and dipole moment functions of CO and related molecules. The reference is used to provide context for the author's own research and to support their conclusions.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper could have significant implications for understanding the behavior of complex organic molecules in different environments, such as protostellar disks, and could help improve our understanding of chemical desorption processes. The study also demonstrates the power of computational methods in investigating the properties of molecules in different situations.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The paper is a theoretical study, which means that it relies on computational simulations to investigate the behavior of molecules. While these simulations can provide valuable insights, they may not always accurately reflect the real-world behavior of molecules. Additionally, the study focuses specifically on CO and related molecules, so the results may not be generalizable to other types of molecules.
