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…

Examining AGN UV/Optical Variability Beyond the Simple Damped Random Walk. II. Insights from 22 Years Observations of SDSS, PS1 and ZTF

Weixiang Yu, Gordon T. Richards, John J. Ruan +3

A damped random walk (DRW) process is often used to describe the temporal UV/optical continuum variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, recent investigations have show…

Optical and near-infrared nebular-phase spectroscopy of SN 2024ggi: constraints on the structure of the inner ejecta, progenitor mass, and dust

Emilio Hueichapán, Régis Cartier, Jose L. Prieto +7

We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic observations of the nearby Type II supernova SN\,2024ggi from 250 and 581 days after the explosion. Comparing the evolution…

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…

Multi-scale stamps for real-time classification of alert streams

Ignacio Reyes-Jainaga, Francisco Förster, Alejandra M. Muñoz Arancibia +15

In recent years, automatic classifiers of image cutouts (also called "stamps") have shown to be key for fast supernova discovery. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will distribute abou…
