Microlensify: a Transformer Based Machine Learning Classifier for Microlensing Events Trained on TESS Light Curves
Atousa Kalantari, Somayeh Khakpash, Sedighe Sajadian +3
Microlensing can reveal populations of faint compact objects that are otherwise difficult to detect. Depending on their design, all-sky surveys have the potential to search for the…
GOPREAUX I: Open-source Code and Data to Model Multi-wavelength Emission of Extragalactic Transients using Gaussian Processes
C. Pellegrino, T. A. Pritchard, M. Modjaz +3
Contemporary all-sky surveys have observed thousands of extragalactic transients in the nearby universe, and upcoming surveys will discover exponentially more at higher redshifts.…
Autoencoder Reconstruction of Cosmological Microlensing Magnification Maps
Somayeh Khakpash, Federica Bianco, Georgios Vernardos +2
Enhanced modeling of microlensing variations in light curves of strongly lensed quasars improves measurements of cosmological time delays, the Hubble Constant, and quasar structure…
Microlensing Discovery and Characterization Efficiency in the Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Natasha S. Abrams, Markus P. G. Hundertmark, Somayeh Khakpash +11
The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time will discover thousands of microlensing events across the Milky Way Galaxy, allowing for the study of populations of exoplanets, s…
Rubin Observatory LSST Transients and Variable Stars Roadmap
Kelly M. Hambleton, Federica B. Bianco, Rachel Street +79
The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time holds the potential to revolutionize time domain astrophysics, reaching completely unexplored areas of the Universe and mapping va…
Toward automated detection of light echoes in synoptic surveys: considerations on the application of the Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Xiaolong Li, Federica B. Bianco, Gregory Dobler +7
Light Echoes (LEs) are the reflections of astrophysical transients off of interstellar dust. They are fascinating astronomical phenomena that enable studies of the scattering dust…
Unique Science from a Coordinated LSST-WFIRST Survey of the Galactic Bulge
R. A. Street, M. B. Lund, M. Donachie +19
NASA's WFIRST mission will perform a wide-field, NIR survey of the Galactic Bulge to search for exoplanets via the microlensing techniques. As the mission is due to launch in the m…
The Diverse Science Return from a Wide-Area Survey of the Galactic Plane
R. A. Street, M. B. Lund, S. Khakpash +19
The overwhelming majority of objects visible to LSST lie within the Galactic Plane. Though many previous surveys have avoided this region for fear of stellar crowding, LSST's spati…
