X-Sifter: detecting transients in X-ray data using the optimal Poisson matched filter
Maayane T. Soumagnac, Eran O. Ofek, Shachar S. Israeli +2
We present X-sifter, a software package designed for near-optimal detection of sources in X-ray images and other forms of photon images in the Poisson-noise regime. The code is bas…
CuRIOS-ED: The Technology Demonstrator for the CubeSats for Rapid Infrared and Optical Surveys Mission
Hannah Gulick, Jessica R. Lu, Aryan Sood +9
The rise of time-domain astronomy including electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves, gravitational microlensing, explosive phenomena, and even astrometry with Gaia, are…
An efficient observational strategy for the detection of the Oort cloud
Eran O. Ofek, Sarah A. Spitzer, Guy Nir
The Oort cloud is presumably a pristine relic of the Solar System formation. Detection of the Oort cloud may provide information regarding the stellar environment in which the Sun…
TRANSLIENT: Detecting Transients Resulting from Point Source Motion or Astrometric Errors
O. Springer, E. O. Ofek, B. Zackay +10
Detection of moving sources over complicated background is important for several reasons. First is measuring the astrophysical motion of the source. Second is that such motion resu…
The ZTF Source Classification Project: III. A Catalog of Variable Sources
Brian F. Healy, Michael W. Coughlin, Ashish A. Mahabal +22
The classification of variable objects provides insight into a wide variety of astrophysics ranging from stellar interiors to galactic nuclei. The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) p…
