Deep learning to improve the discovery of near-Earth asteroids in the Zwicky Transient Facility
Belén Yu Irureta-Goyena, George Helou, Jean-Paul Kneib +7
We present a novel pipeline that uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to improve the detection capability of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) in the context of planetary defense. O…
A Fast Periodicity Detection Algorithm Sensitive to Arbitrary Waveforms
Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Thomas A. Prince, Samuel E. Whitebook
A reexamination of period finding algorithms is prompted by new large area astronomical sky surveys that can identify billions of individual sources having a thousand or more obser…
The IPAC Image Subtraction and Discovery Pipeline for the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory
Frank Masci, Russ Laher, Umaa Rebbapragada +17
We describe the near real-time transient-source discovery engine for the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF), currently in operations at the Infrared Processing and Analy…
iPTF Search for an Optical Counterpart to Gravitational Wave Trigger GW150914
M. M. Kasliwal, S. B. Cenko, L. P. Singer +28
The intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) autonomously responded to and promptly tiled the error region of the first gravitational wave event GW150914 to search for an opti…
The Palomar Transient Factory photometric catalog 1.0
E. O. Ofek, R. Laher, J. Surace +22
We construct a photometrically calibrated catalog of non-variable sources from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) observations. The first version of this catalog presented here, t…
