Toward decision-aware AI for LSST-scale time-domain astronomy
C. R. Bom, A. Mahabal, F. Bianco +27
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will generate approximately (10^7) alerts per night, pushing time-domain astronomy beyond pipelines that trea…
Probabilistic Data-Driven Modelling of Astrophysical Transients: The Neural Process Family for Ultrafast and Class-Agnostic Light Curve Reconstruction with NightLANP
Siddharth Chaini, Federica B. Bianco, Ashish Mahabal
Astrophysical observations from Earth are subject to weather, environmental, and scientific constraints that lead to sparse, irregular light curves. On the eve of the Vera C. Rubin…
An Information-Theoretic Metric for Transient Classification and Novelty Detection
Yu-Qian, Ouyang, Alex I. Malz +4
The development of the observing strategy for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) requires a broad optimization across science cases inside and out…
Searching for Ultracool Dwarfs in Early LSST Data Products
Easton J. Honaker, John E. Gizis, Christian Aganze +8
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) promises to drastically accelerate the discovery of ultracool dwarfs (UCDs) over the course of its 10-year su…
Identification and photometric classification of extragalactic transients in the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Data Preview 1
James Freeburn, Igor Andreoni, Kaylee M. de Soto +55
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will soon survey the southern sky, delivering a depth and sky coverage that is unprecedented in time domain astronomy. As part of commissioning, Data…
High-cadence stellar variability studies of RR Lyrae stars with DECam: New multi-band templates
K. Baeza-Villagra, N. Rodriguez-Segovia, M. Catelan +6
We present the most extensive set to date of high-quality RR Lyrae light curve templates in the griz bands, based on time-series observations of the Dark Energy Camera Plane Survey…
