Links between optical and X-ray light in Cygnus X-2 (2024)
Journal Article

We observed the low-mass X-ray binary Cyg X-2 for a total of 18 nights over two observing runs in July and September of 2006, using the Otto Struve Telescope at McDonald Observatory and the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. Using discrete cross-correlatio... Read More about Links between optical and X-ray light in Cygnus X-2.

Computational statistics and machine learning (ML) are closely related, and there are many opportunities for cross-fertilization of ideas between the two fields. Both can benefit from greater interaction, and the two papers being discussed here highl...
