The La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey
Adam A. Miller, Natasha S. Abrams, Greg Aldering +75
We present the La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey (LS4), a new wide-field, time-domain survey to be conducted with the 1 m ESO Schmidt telescope. The 268 megapixel LS4 camera mosaics…
X-Sifter: detecting transients in X-ray data using the optimal Poisson matched filter
Maayane T. Soumagnac, Eran O. Ofek, Shachar S. Israeli +2
We present X-sifter, a software package designed for near-optimal detection of sources in X-ray images and other forms of photon images in the Poisson-noise regime. The code is bas…
ULTRASAT: A wide-field time-domain UV space telescope
Y. Shvartzvald, E. Waxman, A. Gal-Yam +41
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is scheduled to be launched to geostationary orbit in 2026. It will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field o…
The ZTF Source Classification Project: I. Methods and Infrastructure
Jan van Roestel, Dmitry A. Duev, Ashish A. Mahabal +18
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) has been observing the entire northern sky since the start of 2018 down to a magnitude of 20.5 ( for 30s exposure) in , , and fil…
DeepStreaks: identifying fast-moving objects in the Zwicky Transient Facility data with deep learning
Dmitry A. Duev, Ashish Mahabal, Quanzhi Ye +12
We present DeepStreaks, a convolutional-neural-network, deep-learning system designed to efficiently identify streaking fast-moving near-Earth objects that are detected in the data…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
Machine Learning for the Zwicky Transient Facility
Ashish Mahabal, Umaa Rebbapragada, Richard Walters +47
The Zwicky Transient Facility is a large optical survey in multiple filters producing hundreds of thousands of transient alerts per night. We describe here various machine learning…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results
Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Matthew J. Graham +112
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. A custom-built wide-field camera provides a 47 deg fiel…
catsHTM - A tool for fast accessing and cross-matching large astronomical catalogs
Maayane T. Soumagnac, Eran O. Ofek
Fast access to large catalogs is required for some astronomical applications. Here we introduce the catsHTM tool, consisting of several large catalogs reformatted into HDF5-based f…
Star-galaxy classification in the Dark Energy Survey Y1 dataset
I. Sevilla-Noarbe, B. Hoyle, M. J. Marchã +75
We perform a comparison of different approaches to star-galaxy classification using the broad-band photometric data from Year 1 of the Dark Energy Survey. This is done by performin…
