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…
