Fields play a central role in all areas of astrophysics, like the density, velocity, magnetic, or gravitational field. Inferring an astrophysical field from data is an ill posed problem, as the finite, noisy, and incomplete data can not alone constrain the infinite number of degrees of freedom of a function over continuous space. Domain knowledge has to regularize the set of possible...
