A neural network enables transient classification with ongoing observations, potentially providing astronomers with more time to study the transient while it is still occurring.
How would the LSST have to survey the sky in order to study dark energy?
The era of petabyte and exabyte astronomical surveys is rapidly approaching. How will we store all this data and ensure its longevity for future decades of astronomers? Check out Dr. Alex Szalay’s plenary talk at #AAS233 to find out!
Could studying ʻOumuamua help us identify objects in our own solar system which came from deep space?
We know that white dwarfs have planets, but there are very few that we have detected directly. An upcoming survey may change that.
