AT2022zod: An Unusual Tidal Disruption Event in an Elliptical Galaxy at Redshift 0.11
Kristen C. Dage, Phelipe Darc, Thallis Pessi +16
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) have long been hypothesized as valuable indicators of black holes, offering insight into their demographics and behaviour out to high redshift. TDEs…
A Brief History of Inference in Astronomy
Rafael S. de Souza, Emille E. O. Ishida, Alberto Krone-Martins
In this short review, we trace the evolution of inference in astronomy, highlighting key milestones rather than providing an exhaustive survey. We focus on the shift from classical…
What ZTF Saw Where Rubin Looked: Anomaly Hunting in DR23
Maria V. Pruzhinskaya, Anastasia D. Lavrukhina, Timofey A. Semenikhi +7
We present results from the SNAD VIII Workshop, during which we conducted the first systematic anomaly search in the ZTF fields also observed by LSSTComCam during Rubin Scientific…
Signatures to help interpretability of anomalies
Emmanuel Gangler, Emille E. O. Ishida, Matwey V. Kornilov +8
Machine learning is often viewed as a black box when it comes to understanding its output, be it a decision or a score. Automatic anomaly detection is no exception to this rule, an…
Dataset of artefacts for machine learning applications in astronomy
Sreevarsha Sreejith, Maria V. Pruzhinskaya, Alina A. Volnova +8
Accurate photometry in astronomical surveys is challenged by image artefacts, which affect measurements and degrade data quality. Due to the large amount of available data, this ta…
