You Only Stack Once (YOSO): A Motion-Filtered, Deep-Learning Framework for Detecting Faint Moving Sources
Nitya Pandey, César Fuentes, Pedro Bernardinelli +15
We present You Only Stack Once (YOSO), an automated pipeline designed to detect faint, slow-moving Solar System objects in wide-field astronomical surveys. The pipeline integrates…
heliostack: A Novel Approach to Minor Planet Discovery
Kevin J Napier, Matthew J Holman, Hsing-Wen Lin +2
The study of faint solar system objects is a promising avenue for understanding the origin and evolution of planetary systems. However, such objects are difficult to detect in conv…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario JuriÄ +305
We report on the observation and measurement of astrometry, photometry, morphology, and activityof the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) with the NSF-…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Neptune Trojans
Joseph Murtagh, Megan E. Schwamb, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +15
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), beginning full operations in late 2025, will dramatically transform solar system science by vastly e…
An Efficient Shift-and-Stack Algorithm Applied to Detection Catalogs
Steven Stetzler, Mario JuriÄ, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +22
The boundary of solar system object discovery lies in detecting its faintest members. However, their discovery in detection catalogs from imaging surveys is fundamentally limited b…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Near-Earth Objects, Main Belt Asteroids, Jupiter Trojans, and Trans-Neptunian Objects
Jacob A. Kurlander, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Megan E. Schwamb +18
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a new 8m-class survey facility presently being commissioned in Chile, expected to begin the 10yr-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST…
