Catching Disguised Transients with ASTRANet: Anomaly-Aware Spectroscopic Classification and Conformal Calibration

Argyro Sasli, Maojie Xu, Alexandra Junell +21

Time-domain surveys discover thousands of transients per year, but the spectroscopic identification of rare and physically peculiar objects remains rate-limited by closed-set class…

Pre-training vision models for the classification of alerts from wide-field time-domain surveys

Nabeel Rehemtulla, Adam A. Miller, Mike Walmsley +15

Modern wide-field time-domain surveys facilitate the study of transient, variable and moving phenomena by conducting image differencing and relaying alerts to their communities. Ma…
