LSST Narrowband Filters
Peter Yoachim, Melissa Graham, Steven Bet +5
In this white paper, we present the scientific cases for adding narrowband optical filters to the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). LSST is currently planning to observe the…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results
Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Matthew J. Graham +112
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. A custom-built wide-field camera provides a 47 deg fiel…
An Overview of the LSST Image Processing Pipelines
James Bosch, Yusra AlSayyad, Robert Armstrong +31
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is an ambitious astronomical survey with a similarly ambitious Data Management component. Data Management for LSST includes processing on…
Solving the puzzle of discrepant quasar variability on monthly time-scales implied by SDSS and CRTS data sets
Krzysztof Suberlak, Željko Ivezić, Chelsea L. MacLeod +2
We present an improved photometric error analysis for the 7,100 CRTS (Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey) optical light curves for quasars from the SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey)…
Linear feature detection algorithm for astronomical surveys - II. Defocusing effects on meteor tracks
Dino Bektešević, Dejan Vinković, Andrew Rasmussen +1
Given the current limited knowledge of meteor plasma micro-physics and its interaction with the surrounding atmosphere and ionosphere, meteors are a highly interesting observationa…
New Organizations to Support Astroinformatics and Astrostatistics
Eric D. Feigelson, Željko Ivezić, Joseph Hilbe +1
In the past two years, the environment within which astronomers conduct their data analysis and management has rapidly changed. Working Groups associated with international societi…
