Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory: Realtime Image Subtraction Pipeline
A fast-turnaround pipeline for realtime data reduction plays an essential role in discovering and permitting follow-up observations to young supernovae and fast-evolving transients in modern time-domain surveys. In this paper, we present the realtime image subtraction pipeline in the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory. By using high-performance computing, efficient database, and machine lea...
متن کاملThe Palomar transient factory
Astrophysics is transforming from a data-starved to a data-swamped discipline, fundamentally changing the nature of scientific inquiry and discovery. New technologies are enabling the detection, transmission, and storage of data of hitherto unimaginable quantity and quality across the electromagnetic, gravity and particle spectra. The observational data obtained during this decade alone will su...
متن کاملThe Palomar Transient Factory: High Quality Realtime Data Processing in a Cost-Constrained Environment
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a synoptic sky survey in operation since 2009. PTF utilizes a 7.1 square degree camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope to survey the sky primarily at a single wavelength (R-band) at a rate of 1000-3000 square degrees a night. The data are used to detect and study transient and moving objects such as gamma ray bursts, supernovae and asteroids, as w...
متن کاملImplementing the Palomar Transient Factory Real-Time Detection Pipeline in GLADE: Results and Observations
Palomar Transient Factory is a comprehensive detection system for the identification and classification of transient astrophysical objects. The central piece in the identification pipeline is represented by an automated classifier that distinguishes between real and bogus objects with high accuracy. Given that the classifier has to identify the most significant transients out of a large number ...
متن کاملThe 12Kx8K CCD mosaic camera for the Palomar Transient Factory
The Palomar Transient Factory is an automated wide-field survey facility dedicated to identifying a wide range of transient phenomena. Typically, a new 7.5 square degree field will be acquired every 90 seconds with 66% observing efficiency, in g' band when the sky is dark, or in R band when the moon is up. An imaging camera with a 12Kx8K mosaic of MIT/LL CCDs, acquired from CFHT, is being repac...
