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!
