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…
Spectroscopic Classification of Extragalactic Transients from CRTS
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, M. J. Graham +5
The Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) carried out a public survey for optical transients between 2007 and 2019, discovering more than 16,000 transient candidates. Here we…
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…
Tuning into spatial frequency space: Satellite and space debris detection in the ZTF alert stream
J. P. Carvajal, F. E. Bauer, I. Reyes-Jainaga +6
A significant challenge in the study of transient astrophysical phenomena is the identification of bogus events, among which human-made satellites and debris in Earth orbit remain…
ALeRCE light curve classifier: Tidal disruption event expansion pack
M. Pavez-Herrera, P. Sánchez-Sáez, L. Hernández-GarcÃa +9
ALeRCE (Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events) processes the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream in preparation for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, clas…
