Towards an Automated Classification of Transient Events in Synoptic Sky Surveys
S. G. Djorgovski, C. Donalek, A. Mahabal +6
We describe the development of a system for an automated, iterative, real-time classification of transient events discovered in synoptic sky surveys. The system under development i…
Automated Real-Time Classification and Decision Making in Massive Data Streams from Synoptic Sky Surveys
S. G. Djorgovski, A. A. Mahabal, C. Donalek +4
The nature of scientific and technological data collection is evolving rapidly: data volumes and rates grow exponentially, with increasing complexity and information content, and t…
Flashes in a Star Stream: Automated Classification of Astronomical Transient Events
S. G. Djorgovski, A. A. Mahabal, C. Donalek +4
An automated, rapid classification of transient events detected in the modern synoptic sky surveys is essential for their scientific utility and effective follow-up using scarce re…
Discovery, classification, and scientific exploration of transient events from the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey
A. A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, A. J. Drake +8
Exploration of the time domain - variable and transient objects and phenomena - is rapidly becoming a vibrant research frontier, touching on essentially every field of astronomy an…
Real Time Classification of Transient Events in Synoptic Sky Surveys
Ashish A. Mahabal, C. Donalek, S. G. Djorgovski +6
An automated, rapid classification of transient events detected in the modern synoptic sky surveys is essential for their scientific utility and effective follow-up using scarce re…
Automated Probabilistic Classification of Transients and Variables
A. A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, M. Turmon +6
There is an increasing number of large, digital, synoptic sky surveys, in which repeated observations are obtained over large areas of the sky in multiple epochs. Likewise, there i…
Real-Time Data Mining of Massive Data Streams from Synoptic Sky Surveys
S. G. Djorgovski, M. J. Graham, C. Donalek +4
The nature of scientific and technological data collection is evolving rapidly: data volumes and rates grow exponentially, with increasing complexity and information content, and t…
Towards Real-time Classification of Astronomical Transients
A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, R. Williams +8
Exploration of time domain is now a vibrant area of research in astronomy, driven by the advent of digital synoptic sky surveys. While panoramic surveys can detect variable or tran…
