The delay of shock breakout due to circumstellar material seen in most Type II Supernovae
F. Förster, T. J. Moriya, J. C. Maureira +35
Type II supernovae (SNe) originate from the explosion of hydrogen-rich supergiant massive stars. Their first electromagnetic signature is the shock breakout, a short-lived phenomen…
The High Cadence Transient Survey (HITS): Compilation and characterization of light-curve catalogs
Jorge Martínez-Palomera, Francisco Förster, Pavlos Protopapas +12
The High Cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) aims to discover and study transient objects with characteristic timescales between hours and days, such as pulsating, eclipsing and explod…
Enhanced Rotational Invariant Convolutional Neural Network for Supernovae Detection
Esteban Reyes, Pablo A. Estévez, Ignacio Reyes +4
In this paper, we propose an enhanced CNN model for detecting supernovae (SNe). This is done by applying a new method for obtaining rotational invariance that exploits cyclic symme…
The VVV Survey RR Lyrae Population in the Galactic Centre Region
Rodrigo Contreras Ramos, Dante Minniti, Felipe Gran +6
Deep near-IR images from the VVV Survey were used to search for RR Lyrae type ab (RRab) stars within 100' from the Galactic Centre (GC). A sample of 960 RRab stars were discovered.…
Deep Learning for Image Sequence Classification of Astronomical Events
Rodrigo Carrasco-Davis, Guillermo Cabrera-Vives, Francisco Förster +6
We propose a new sequential classification model for astronomical objects based on a recurrent convolutional neural network (RCNN) which uses sequences of images as inputs. This ap…
Asteroids in the High cadence Transient Survey
J. Peña, C. Fuentes, F. Förster +11
We report on the serendipitous observations of Solar System objects imaged during the High cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) 2014 observation campaign. Data from this high cadence, w…
