Planck 2018 results
Astronomy and Astrophysics · 2020 · Q1 · SJR 2.00 · FWCI 791.83 · 14,233 citations · Open access
The final Planck mission data provide the most precise measurements to date of the cosmic microwave background, yielding strong support for the standard ΛCDM cosmological model and constraining key parameters like dark matter density and the Hubble constant.
Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence · 2019 · Q1 · SJR 4.00 · FWCI 981.84 · 12,562 citations
This paper introduces the "Squeeze-and-Excitation" (SE) block, a novel architectural unit for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that adaptively recalibrates channel-wise feature responses by modeling interdependencies between channels.
Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena
2016 · FWCI 280.74 · 11,283 citations
This serial provides review articles on phase transitions and critical phenomena, aiming to serve as standard references for researchers and graduate students.
Planck2015 results
Astronomy and Astrophysics · 2016 · Q1 · SJR 2.00 · FWCI 792.73 · 10,682 citations · Open access
Full-mission Planck observations provide precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background, strongly supporting the standard six-parameter inflationary LCDM cosmology.
Observation of a new boson at a mass of 125 GeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC
Physics Letters B · 2012 · Q1 · SJR 1.00 · FWCI 1466.87 · 9,987 citations
This abstract does not contain research findings. It describes the creation of a virtual library for Latin American studies.
GW170817: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Neutron Star Inspiral
Physical Review Letters · 2017 · Q1 · SJR 2.00 · FWCI 577.52 · 9,680 citations · Open access
The Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors observed gravitational waves (GW170817) from a binary neutron star inspiral, the closest and most precisely localized signal to date. This event provided the first direct evidence linking neutron star mergers to short gamma-ray bursts.
