Diagnosing the Effects of Spectroscopic Training Set Imperfection on Photometric Redshift Performance

Alice Crafford, Alex I. Malz, Tianqing Zhang +11

Most LSST extragalactic science will rely on photometric redshifts (photo-) to extract distance information for the galaxies. However, an incomplete or non-representative traini…

Improved photometric redshift estimations through self-organising map-based data augmentation

Yun-Hao Zhang, Joe Zuntz, Irene Moskowitz +8

We introduce a framework for the enhanced estimation of photometric redshifts using Self-Organising Maps (SOMs). Our method projects galaxy Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) ont…

Redshift Assessment Infrastructure Layers (RAIL): Rubin-era photometric redshift stress-testing and at-scale production

The RAIL Team, Jan Luca van den Busch, Eric Charles +31

Virtually all extragalactic use cases of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) require the use of galaxy redshift information, yet the vast majorit…

Neural Posterior Estimation for Cataloging Astronomical Images with Spatially Varying Backgrounds and Point Spread Functions

Aakash Patel, Tianqing Zhang, Camille Avestruz +2

Neural posterior estimation (NPE), a type of amortized variational inference, is a computationally efficient means of constructing probabilistic catalogs of light sources from astr…
