Photometric classification and out-of-taxonomy detection of ZTF transients with FLARE
Argyro Sasli, Felipe Fontinele Nunes, Xuanrui Zhang +17
Photometric classifiers decide which of the million nightly alerts of time-domain surveys receive one of the few thousand spectra taken each year, and they are the first place wher…
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…
BOOM and Babamul: a real-time, multi-survey, optical alert broker system operating at scale
Theophile Jegou du Laz, Michael W. Coughlin, Peter Bachant +17
With the arrival of ever higher throughput wide-field surveys and a multitude of multi-messenger and multi-wavelength instruments to complement them, software capable of harnessing…
Applying multimodal learning to Classify transient Detections Early (AppleCiDEr) I: Data set, methods, and infrastructure
Alexandra Junell, Argyro Sasli, Felipe Fontinele Nunes +18
Modern time-domain surveys like the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) generate hundreds of thousands to millions of alerts, demanding a…
A New Forced Photometry Service for the Zwicky Transient Facility
Frank J. Masci, Russ R. Laher, Benjamin Rusholme +6
We describe the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Forced Photometry Service (ZFPS) as developed and maintained by the ZTF Science Data System Team at IPAC/Caltech. The service is ope…
Impact of the SpaceX Starlink Satellites on the Zwicky Transient Facility Survey Observations
Przemek Mroz, Angel Otarola, Thomas A. Prince +6
There is a growing concern about an impact of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite constellations on ground-based astronomical observations, in particular, on wide-field surveys in the…
Joint Survey Processing of Euclid, Rubin and Roman: Final Report
R. Chary, G. Helou, G. Brammer +22
The Euclid, Rubin/LSST and Roman (WFIRST) projects will undertake flagship optical/near-infrared surveys in the next decade. By mapping thousands of square degrees of sky and cover…
Creating High Quality All-Sky Visualizations of Astronomy Image Data Sets: HiPS and Montage
G. Bruce Berriman, John C. Good, Vandana Desai +1
We describe a case study to use the Montage image mosaic engine to create maps of the ALLWISE image data set in the Hierarchical Progressive Survey (HiPS) sky-tesselation scheme. O…
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…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Data Processing, Products, and Archive
Frank J. Masci, Russ R. Laher, Ben Rusholme +46
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new robotic time-domain survey currently in progress using the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt Telescope. ZTF uses a 47 square degree field with a…
NASA's Long-Term Astrophysics Data Archives
L. M. Rebull, V. Desai, H. Teplitz +10
NASA regards data handling and archiving as an integral part of space missions, and has a strong track record of serving astrophysics data to the public, beginning with the the IRA…
Processing Images from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Russ R. Laher, Frank J. Masci, Steve Groom +25
The Zwicky Transient Facility is a new robotic-observing program, in which a newly engineered 600-MP digital camera with a pioneeringly large field of view, 47~square degrees, will…
