Presto-Color: A Photometric Survey Cadence for Explosive Physics & Fast Transients
Federica B. Bianco, Maria R. Drout, Melissa L. Graham +6
We identify minimal observing cadence requirements that enable photometric astronomical surveys to detect and recognize fast and explosive transients and fast transient features. O…
Sub-percent Photometry: Faint DA White Dwarf Spectophotometric Standards for Astrophysical Observatories
Gautham Narayan, Thomas Matheson, Abhijit Saha +18
We have established a network of 19 faint (16.5 mag 19 mag) northern and equatorial DA white dwarfs as spectrophotometric standards for present and future wide-field observ…
The Photometric LSST Astronomical Time-series Classification Challenge (PLAsTiCC): Selection of a performance metric for classification probabilities balancing diverse science goals
A. I. Malz, R. Hložek, T. Allam +22
Classification of transient and variable light curves is an essential step in using astronomical observations to develop an understanding of their underlying physical processes. Ho…
Multi-Messenger Astrophysics: Harnessing the Data Revolution
Gabrielle Allen, Warren Anderson, Erik Blaufuss +27
The past year has witnessed discovery of the first identified counterparts to a gravitational wave transient (GW 170817A) and a very high-energy neutrino (IceCube-170922A). These s…
Overview of the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys
Arjun Dey, David J. Schlegel, Dustin Lang +157
The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys are a combination of three public projects (the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey, the Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey, and the Mayall z-band Legacy Surve…
Machine Learning-based Brokers for Real-time Classification of the LSST Alert Stream
Gautham Narayan, Tayeb Zaidi, Monika D. Soraisam +20
The unprecedented volume and rate of transient events that will be discovered by the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) demands that the astronomical community update its follo…
