Simultaneous radio, optical and X-ray monitoring of hard X-ray selected AGN: a variability study
L. Hernández-GarcÃa, F. Panessa, D. Williams-Baldwin +2
AGN emission is intrinsically variable across the electromagnetic spectrum. Mapping the coupling between the accretion disk, the X-ray corona, and ejection flows is key to understa…
Querying an astronomical database using large language models: the ALeRCE text-to-SQL system
P. A. Estevez, J. Espejo-Moreira, S. Sanfeliu-Alvarez +10
We develop a text-to-SQL (structured query language) system based on large language models (LLMs) using in-context learning and apply it to the Automatic Learning for the Rapid Cla…
A Broker Integrated Algorithm for Gravitational Wave - Electromagnetic Counterpart Searches in O4a and O4b Runs
Hemanth Bommireddy, Francisco Forster, Isaac McMahon +6
We present an automated framework to search for optical counterparts of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) gravitational wave (GW) superevents using public Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) aler…
Image-Based Multi-Survey Classification of Light Curves with a Pre-Trained Vision Transformer
Daniel Moreno-Cartagena, Guillermo Cabrera-Vives, Alejandra M. Muñoz Arancibia +10
We explore the use of Swin Transformer V2, a pre-trained vision Transformer, for photometric classification in a multi-survey setting by leveraging light curves from the Zwicky Tra…
Tuning into spatial frequency space: Satellite and space debris detection in the ZTF alert stream
J. P. Carvajal, F. E. Bauer, I. Reyes-Jainaga +6
A significant challenge in the study of transient astrophysical phenomena is the identification of bogus events, among which human-made satellites and debris in Earth orbit remain…
ALeRCE light curve classifier: Tidal disruption event expansion pack
M. Pavez-Herrera, P. Sánchez-Sáez, L. Hernández-GarcÃa +9
ALeRCE (Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events) processes the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream in preparation for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, clas…
