Alert Classification for the ALeRCE Broker System: The Light Curve Classifier
P. Sánchez-Sáez, I. Reyes, C. Valenzuela +23
We present the first version of the ALeRCE (Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events) broker light curve classifier. ALeRCE is currently processing the Zwicky Tran…
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…
Enhanced Rotational Invariant Convolutional Neural Network for Supernovae Detection
Esteban Reyes, Pablo A. Estévez, Ignacio Reyes +4
In this paper, we propose an enhanced CNN model for detecting supernovae (SNe). This is done by applying a new method for obtaining rotational invariance that exploits cyclic symme…
Deep Learning for Image Sequence Classification of Astronomical Events
Rodrigo Carrasco-Davis, Guillermo Cabrera-Vives, Francisco Förster +6
We propose a new sequential classification model for astronomical objects based on a recurrent convolutional neural network (RCNN) which uses sequences of images as inputs. This ap…
