New Approaches to Object Classification in Synoptic Sky Surveys
C. Donalek, A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski +5
Digital synoptic sky surveys pose several new object classification challenges. In surveys where real-time detection and classification of transient events is a science driver, the…
Towards Real-time Classification of Astronomical Transients
A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, R. Williams +8
Exploration of time domain is now a vibrant area of research in astronomy, driven by the advent of digital synoptic sky surveys. While panoramic surveys can detect variable or tran…
An Exploratory Search for z~6 Quasars in the UKIDSS Early Data Release
Eilat Glikman, Alexander Eigenbrod, S. G. Djorgovski +4
We conducted an exploratory search for quasars at z~ 6 - 8, using the Early Data Release from United Kingdom Infrared Deep Sky survey (UKIDSS) cross-matched to panoramic optical im…
LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products
Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310
(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…
The Environments of High Redshift QSOs
Soyoung Kim, Massimo Stiavelli, M. Trenti +9
We present a sample of -dropout candidates identified in five Hubble Advanced Camera for Surveys fields centered on Sloan Digital Sky Survey QSOs at redshift . Ou…
Automated Probabilistic Classification of Transients and Variables
A. A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, M. Turmon +6
There is an increasing number of large, digital, synoptic sky surveys, in which repeated observations are obtained over large areas of the sky in multiple epochs. Likewise, there i…
