SNGuess: A method for the selection of young extragalactic transients
N. Miranda, J. C. Freytag, J. Nordin +7
With a rapidly rising number of transients detected in astronomy, classification methods based on machine learning are increasingly being employed. Their goals are typically to obt…
Considerations for optimizing photometric classification of supernovae from the Rubin Observatory
Catarina S. Alves, Hiranya V. Peiris, Michelle Lochner +3
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will increase the number of observed supernovae (SNe) by an order of magnitude; however, it is impossible to spectroscopically confirm the class for a…
The LSST DESC DC2 Simulated Sky Survey
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso +77
We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and…
Enabling catalog simulations of transient and variable sources based on LSST cadence strategies
Rahul Biswas, Scott F. Daniel, R. Hložek +2
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) project will conduct a ten year multi-band survey starting in 2022. Observing strategies for this survey are being actively investigated,…
RAPID: Early Classification of Explosive Transients using Deep Learning
Daniel Muthukrishna, Gautham Narayan, Kaisey S. Mandel +2
We present RAPID (Real-time Automated Photometric IDentification), a novel time-series classification tool capable of automatically identifying transients from within a day of the…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
