New Modules for the SEDMachine to Remove Contaminations from Cosmic Rays and Non-target Light: BYECR and CONTSEP

Y. -L. Kim, M. Rigault, J. D. Neill +9

Currently time-domain astronomy can scan the entire sky on a daily basis, discovering thousands of interesting transients every night. Classifying the ever-increasing number of new…

SNIascore: Deep Learning Classification of Low-Resolution Supernova Spectra

Christoffer Fremling, Xander J. Hall, Michael W. Coughlin +18

We present SNIascore, a deep-learning based method for spectroscopic classification of thermonuclear supernovae (SNe Ia) based on very low-resolution (R ) data. The goal o…

Real-bogus classification for the Zwicky Transient Facility using deep learning

Dmitry A. Duev, Ashish Mahabal, Frank J. Masci +8

Efficient automated detection of flux-transient, reoccurring flux-variable, and moving objects is increasingly important for large-scale astronomical surveys. We present braai, a c…

The Zwicky Transient Facility: Surveys and Scheduler

Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Tom Barlow +11

We present a novel algorithm for scheduling the observations of time-domain imaging surveys. Our Integer Linear Programming approach optimizes an observing plan for an entire night…
