Data-Driven Approaches to Searches for the Technosignatures of Advanced Civilizations
T. Joseph W. Lazio, S. G. Djorgovski, Andrew Howard +19
Humanity has wondered whether we are alone for millennia. The discovery of life elsewhere in the Universe, particularly intelligent life, would have profound effects, comparable to…
A Machine Learning Classifier for Fast Radio Burst Detection at the VLBA
Kiri L. Wagstaff, Benyang Tang, David R. Thompson +6
Time domain radio astronomy observing campaigns frequently generate large volumes of data. Our goal is to develop automated methods that can identify events of interest buried with…
Online classification for time-domain astronomy
Kitty K. Lo, Tara Murphy, Umaa Rebbapragada +1
The advent of synoptic sky surveys has spurred the development of techniques for real-time classification of astronomical sources in order to ensure timely follow-up with appropria…
Comparing the WFC3 IR Grism Stare and Spatial-Scan Observations for Exoplanet Characterization
Mark R. Swain, Pieter Deroo, Kiri L. Wagstaff
We report on a detailed study of the measurement stability for WFC3 IR grism stare and spatial scan observations. The excess measurement noise for both modes is established by comp…
Real Time Event Detection in Astronomical Data Streams: Lessons from the VLBA
David R. Thompson, Sarah Burke-Spolaor, Adam T. Deller +5
A new generation of observational science instruments is dramatically increasing collected data volumes in a range of fields. These instruments include the Square Kilometre Array (…
A framework for interpreting fast radio transients search experiments: application to the V-FASTR experiment
Cathryn M. Trott, Steven J. Tingay, Randall B. Wayth +8
We define a framework for determining constraints on the detection rate of fast transient events from a population of underlying sources, with a view to incorporating beam shape, f…
VAST: An ASKAP Survey for Variables and Slow Transients
Tara Murphy, Shami Chatterjee, David L. Kaplan +36
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) will give us an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the transient sky at radio wavelengths. In this paper we present V…
V-FASTR: The VLBA Fast Radio Transients Experiment
Randall B. Wayth, Walter F. Brisken, Adam T. Deller +4
Recent discoveries of dispersed, non-periodic impulsive radio signals with single-dish radio telescopes have sparked significant interest in exploring the relatively uncharted spac…
Detection of fast radio transients with multiple stations: a case study using the Very Long Baseline Array
David R. Thompson, Kiri L. Wagstaff, Walter Brisken +4
Recent investigations reveal an important new class of transient radio phenomena that occur on sub-millisecond timescales. Often transient surveys' data volumes are too large to ar…
