An Efficient Shift-and-Stack Algorithm Applied to Detection Catalogs

Steven Stetzler, Mario Jurić, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +22

The boundary of solar system object discovery lies in detecting its faintest members. However, their discovery in detection catalogs from imaging surveys is fundamentally limited b…

The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) VI: first multi-year observations of trans-Neptunian objects

Hayden Smotherman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Stephen K. N. Portillo +25

We present the first set of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) observed on multiple nights in data taken from the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). Of these 110 TNOs, 105 do n…

Sifting Through the Static: Moving Object Detection in Difference Images

Hayden Smotherman, Andrew J. Connolly, J. Bryce Kalmbach +6

Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) provide a window into the history of the Solar System, but they can be challenging to observe due to their distance from the Sun and relatively low b…

THOR: An Algorithm for Cadence-Independent Asteroid Discovery

Joachim Moeyens, Mario Juric, Jes Ford +7

We present "Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery" (THOR), an algorithm for linking of observations of Solar System objects across multiple epochs that does not require intra-n…

A Gateway to Astronomical Image Processing: Vera C. RubinObservatory LSST Science Pipelines on AWS

Dino Bektesevic, Hsin-Fang Chiang, Kian-Tat Lim +6

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time, operated by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, is a 10-year astronomical survey due to start operations in 2022 that will image half the sky every…

Fast algorithms for slow moving asteroids: constraints on the distribution of Kuiper Belt Objects

Peter J. Whidden, J. Bryce Kalmbach, Andrew J. Connolly +11

We introduce a new computational technique for searching for faint moving sources in astronomical images. Starting from a maximum likelihood estimate for the probability of the det…
