A machine learning classifier for microlensing in wide-field surveys

Bachelet, E.; Street, R. A.; Narayan, G. +1 more

While microlensing is very rare, occurring on average once per million stars observed, current and near-future surveys are coming online with the capability of providing photometry of almost the entire visible sky to depths up to R ∼22 mag or fainter every few days, which will contribute to the detection of black holes and exoplanets through follo…

The ssos pipeline: Identification of Solar System objects in astronomical images

Bertin, E.; Bouy, H.; Carry, B. +3 more

Observatories and satellites around the globe produce tremendous amounts of imaging data to study many different astrophysical phenomena. The serendipitous observations of Solar System objects are a fortunate by-product which have often been neglected due to the lack of a simple yet efficient identification algorithm. Meanwhile, the determination …
