The Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events (ALeRCE) Alert Broker
F. Förster, G. Cabrera-Vives, E. Castillo-Navarrete +37
We introduce the Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events (ALeRCE) broker, an astronomical alert broker designed to provide a rapid and self--consistent classifica…
Reproduction matrix for an epidemic and lockdowns in a city
Vicente Acuña, María Paz Cortés, Andrew Hart +2
We consider an epidemic spreading in a city which is divided geographically into different districts. We introduce the reproduction matrix between districts…
Asteroids' Size Distribution and Colors from HiTS
J. Peña, C. Fuentes, F. Förster +8
We report the observations of solar system objects during the 2015 campaign of the High cadence Transient Survey (HiTS). We found 5740 bodies (mostly Main Belt asteroids), 1203 of…
The delay of shock breakout due to circumstellar material seen in most Type II Supernovae
F. Förster, T. J. Moriya, J. C. Maureira +35
Type II supernovae (SNe) originate from the explosion of hydrogen-rich supergiant massive stars. Their first electromagnetic signature is the shock breakout, a short-lived phenomen…
The High Cadence Transient Survey (HITS): Compilation and characterization of light-curve catalogs
Jorge Martínez-Palomera, Francisco Förster, Pavlos Protopapas +12
The High Cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) aims to discover and study transient objects with characteristic timescales between hours and days, such as pulsating, eclipsing and explod…
Asteroids in the High cadence Transient Survey
J. Peña, C. Fuentes, F. Förster +11
We report on the serendipitous observations of Solar System objects imaged during the High cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) 2014 observation campaign. Data from this high cadence, w…
Discovery of distant RR Lyrae stars in the Milky Way using DECam
Gustavo Medina, Ricardo Muñoz, Katherina Vivas +9
We report the discovery of distant RR Lyrae stars, including the most distant known in the Milky Way, using data taken in the band with the Dark Energy Camera as part of the Hi…
Serendipitous discovery of RR Lyrae stars in the Leo V ultra-faint galaxy
Gustavo E. Medina, Ricardo R. Muñoz, A. Katherina Vivas +9
During the analysis of RR Lyrae stars discovered in the High cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) taken with the Dark Energy Camera at the 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American O…
Deep-HiTS: Rotation Invariant Convolutional Neural Network for Transient Detection
Guillermo Cabrera-Vives, Ignacio Reyes, Francisco Förster +2
We introduce Deep-HiTS, a rotation invariant convolutional neural network (CNN) model for classifying images of transients candidates into artifacts or real sources for the High ca…
Characterising the environments of supernovae with MUSE
L. Galbany, J. P. Anderson, F. F Rosales-Ortega +10
We present a statistical analysis of the environments of 11 supernovae (SNe) which occurred in 6 nearby galaxies (z 0.016). All galaxies were observed with MUSE, the hig…
