Identifying muon rings in VERITAS data using convolutional neural networks trained on images classified with Muon Hunters 2
Kevin Flanagan, John Quinn, Darryl Wright +4
Muons from extensive air showers appear as rings in images taken with imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, such as VERITAS. These muon-ring images are used for the calibration…
Modeling with the Crowd: Optimizing the Human-Machine Partnership with Zooniverse
Hugh Dickinson, Lucy Fortson, Claudia Scarlata +2
LSST and Euclid must address the daunting challenge of analyzing the unprecedented volumes of imaging and spectroscopic data that these next-generation instruments will generate. A…
Integrating human and machine intelligence in galaxy morphology classification tasks
Melanie R. Beck, Claudia Scarlata, Lucy F. Fortson +8
Quantifying galaxy morphology is a challenging yet scientifically rewarding task. As the scale of data continues to increase with upcoming surveys, traditional classification metho…
An image-based array trigger for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope Arrays
Hugh Dickinson, Frank Krennrich, Amanda Weinstein +4
It is anticipated that forthcoming, next generation, atmospheric Cherenkov telescope arrays will include a number of medium-sized telescopes that are constructed using a dual-mirro…
A Search for Brief Optical Flashes Associated with the SETI Target KIC 8462852
A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +78
The F-type star KIC 8462852 has recently been identified as an exceptional target for SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) observations. We describe an analysis methodol…
Development of a SiPM Camera for a Schwarzschild-Couder Cherenkov Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
A. N. Otte, J. Biteau, H. Dickinson +17
We present the development of a novel 11328 pixel silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) camera for use with a ground-based Cherenkov telescope with Schwarzschild-Couder optics as a possib…
Simulations of a Distributed Intelligent Array Trigger for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Hugh Dickinson, Frank Krennrich, Amanda Weinstein
It is anticipated that the forthcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will include a number of medium-sized telescopes that are constructed using a dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Coude…
Novel Photo Multiplier Tubes for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Project
Takeshi Toyama, Razmik Mirzoyan, Hugh Dickinson +12
Currently the standard light sensors for imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes are the classical photo multiplier tubes that are using bialkali photo cathodes. About eight years…
Handling Systematic Uncertainties and Combined Source Analyses for Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
Hugh Dickinson, Jan Conrad
In response to an increasing availability of statistically rich observational data sets, the performance and applicability of traditional Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope analyses i…
Design Concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The CTA Consortium
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Ground-based gamma-ray…
