A Method for Quantifying Position Reconstruction Uncertainty in Astroparticle Physics using Bayesian Networks
Christina Peters, Aaron Higuera, Shixiao Liang +4
Robust position reconstruction is paramount for enabling discoveries in astroparticle physics as backgrounds are significantly reduced by only considering interactions within the f…
Domain-informed neural networks for interaction localization within astroparticle experiments
Shixiao Liang, Aaron Higuera, Christina Peters +4
This work proposes a domain-informed neural network architecture for experimental particle physics, using particle interaction localization with the time-projection chamber (TPC) t…
Models and Simulations for the Photometric LSST Astronomical Time Series Classification Challenge (PLAsTiCC)
R. Kessler, G. Narayan, A. Avelino +26
We describe the simulated data sample for the "Photometric LSST Astronomical Time Series Classification Challenge" (PLAsTiCC), a publicly available challenge to classify transient…
The Photometric LSST Astronomical Time-series Classification Challenge (PLAsTiCC): Selection of a performance metric for classification probabilities balancing diverse science goals
A. I. Malz, R. Hložek, T. Allam +22
Classification of transient and variable light curves is an essential step in using astronomical observations to develop an understanding of their underlying physical processes. Ho…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: H and H Reverberation Measurements From First-year Spectroscopy and Photometry
C. J. Grier, J. R. Trump, Yue Shen +39
We present reverberation mapping results from the first year of combined spectroscopic and photometric observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project. W…
Science-Driven Optimization of the LSST Observing Strategy
LSST Science Collaboration, Phil Marshall, Timo Anguita +102
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope is designed to provide an unprecedented optical imaging dataset that will support investigations of our Solar System, Galaxy and Universe, acros…
Quasar Classification Using Color and Variability
Christina M. Peters, Gordon T. Richards, Adam D. Myers +6
We conduct a pilot investigation to determine the optimal combination of color and variability information to identify quasars in current and future multi-epoch optical surveys. We…
Bayesian High-Redshift Quasar Classification from Optical and Mid-IR Photometry
Gordon T. Richards, Adam D. Myers, Christina M. Peters +9
We identify 885,503 type 1 quasar candidates to i<22 using the combination of optical and mid-IR photometry. Optical photometry is taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III: Bary…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Technical Overview
Yue Shen, W. N. Brandt, Kyle S. Dawson +36
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping project (SDSS-RM) is a dedicated multi-object RM experiment that has spectroscopically monitored a sample of 849 broad-line quasa…
