Abstract (from CDS):

Examining the detailed structure of galaxy populations provides valuable insights into their formation and evolution mechanisms. Significant barriers to such analysis are the nontrivial noise properties of real astronomical images and the point-spread function, which blurs structure. Here we present a framework which combines recent advances in score-based likelihood characterization and diffusion model priors to perform a Bayesian analysis of image deconvolution. The method, when applied to minimally processed Hubble Space Telescope data, recovers structures which have otherwise only become visible in next-generation James Webb Space Telescope imaging.
