Finding radio transients with anomaly detection and active learning based on volunteer classifications
Alex Andersson, Chris Lintott, Rob Fender +9
In this work we explore the applicability of unsupervised machine learning algorithms to finding radio transients. Facilities such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will provide…
Filling the radio transients gap (or: The case for a dedicated radio transients monitoring array in the southern hemisphere)
Rob Fender, Assaf Horesh, Phil Charles +3
In this short paper we outline the case for a small radio telescope array in the southern hemisphere with operations dedicated to rapid follow-up and monitoring of astrophysical tr…
ULTRASAT: A wide-field time-domain UV space telescope
Y. Shvartzvald, E. Waxman, A. Gal-Yam +41
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is scheduled to be launched to geostationary orbit in 2026. It will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field o…
The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS). Science case and survey design
M. Lacy, S. A. Baum, C. J. Chandler +75
The Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS) is a synoptic, all-sky radio sky survey with a unique combination of high angular resolution (2.5"), sensitivity (a 1 goal of 70…
IPAC Image Processing and Data Archiving for the Palomar Transient Factory
Russ R. Laher, Jason Surace, Carl J. Grillmair +26
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a multi-epochal robotic survey of the northern sky that acquires data for the scientific study of transient and variable astrophysical phenom…
The Palomar Transient Factory photometric catalog 1.0
E. O. Ofek, R. Laher, J. Surace +22
We construct a photometrically calibrated catalog of non-variable sources from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) observations. The first version of this catalog presented here, t…
