A transient search using combined human and machine classifications
Darryl E. Wright, Chris J. Lintott, Stephen J. Smartt +22
Large modern surveys require efficient review of data in order to find transient sources such as supernovae, and to distinguish such sources from artefacts and noise. Much effort h…
