Real-time wavefront processors for the next generation of adaptive optics systems: a design and analysis
TL;DR: This paper characterizes the performance of a single deformable mirror (DM) Shack-Hartmann natural guide star AO system implemented on the present-generation digital signal processor (DSP) TMS320C6701 from Texas Instruments and demonstrates that the principal performance bottleneck of such a system is the available memory bandwidth of the processors and to lesser extent the IPC bandwidth.

TL;DR: ZStreak, a semi-real-time pipeline specialized in detecting small, fast-moving, near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), which is currently operating on the data from the newly commissioned Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey, features an improved machine-learning model that can cope with the 10× data rate increment between PTF and ZTF.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented time-resolved visible spectrophotometry of the second asteroid known to become temporarily captured by the Earth-Moon system's gravitational field, which was taken with Keck I/LRIS between wavelengths 434 nm and 912 nm in $B$, $g, $V, $R, $I$ and RG850 filters.
