Résumé scientifique
We lay the foundations of a statistical framework for multi-catalogue cross-correlation and cross-identification based on explicit simplified catalogue models. A proper identification process should rely on both astrometric and photometric data. Under some conditions, the astrometric part and the photometric part can be processed separately and merged a posteriori to provide a single global probability of identification. The present paper addresses almost exclusively the astrometrical part and specifies the proper probabilities to be merged with photometric likelihoods. To select matching candidates in n catalogues, we used the Chi (or, indifferently, the Chi-square) test with 2(n-1) degrees of freedom. We thus call this cross-match a chi-match. In order to use Bayes' formula, we considered exhaustive sets of hypotheses based on combinatorial analysis. The volume of the Chi-test domain of acceptance -- a 2(n-1)-dimensional acceptance ellipsoid -- is used to estimate the expected numbers of spurious associations. We derived priors for those numbers using a frequentist approach relying on simple geometrical considerations. Likelihoods are based on standard Rayleigh, Chi and Poisson distributions that we normalized over the Chi-test acceptance domain. We validated our theoretical results by generating and cross-matching synthetic catalogues. The results we obtain do not depend on the order used to cross-correlate the catalogues. We applied the formalism described in the present paper to build the multi-wavelength catalogues used for the science cases of the ARCHES (Astronomical Resource Cross-matching for High Energy Studies) project. Our cross-matching engine is publicly available through a multi-purpose web interface. In a longer term, we plan to integrate this tool into the CDS XMatch Service.

Revisiting the Emission Line Source Detection Problem in Integral Field Spectroscopic DataEdmund Christian Herenz · 2022 · Herenz, E. C. 2023, Astron. Nachr., e909 · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
We present a 3-dimensional matched filtering approach for the blind search of faint emission-line sources in integral-field spectroscopic datasets. The filter is designed to account for the spectrally rapidly varying background noise due to the telluric air glow spectrum. A software implementation of this matched filtering search is implemented in an updated version of the Line Source Detection Cataloguing tool (LSDCat2.0). Using public data from the MUSE-Wide survey we show how the new filter design provides higher detection significances for faint emission line sources buried in between atmospheric [OH]-bands at $\lambda \gtrsim 7000$\,\AA{}. We also show how, for a given source parameteri…

A continuous multiple hypothesis testing framework for optimal exoplanet detectionNathan C. Hara, Thibault de Poyferré, Jean-Baptiste Delisle et al. · 2022 · Instrumentation et méthodes pour l’astrophysique · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
The detection of exoplanets is hindered by the presence of complex astrophysical and instrumental noises. Given the difficulty of the task, it is important to ensure that the data are exploited to their fullest potential. In the present work, we search for an optimal exoplanet detection criterion. We adopt a general Bayesian multiple hypothesis testing framework, where the hypotheses are indexed by continuous variables. This framework is adaptable to the different observational methods used to detect exoplanets as well as other data analysis problems. We describe the data as a combination of several parametrized patterns and nuisance signals. We wish to determine which patterns are present, …

Version 1 of the Hubble Source CatalogBradley C. Whitmore, Sahar S. Allam, Tamas Budavari et al. · 2016 · Instrumentation et méthodes pour l’astrophysique · Pas encore résumé
Résumé scientifique
The Hubble Source Catalog is designed to help optimize science from the Hubble Space Telescope by combining the tens of thousands of visit-based source lists in the Hubble Legacy Archive into a single master catalog. Version 1 of the Hubble Source Catalog includes WFPC2, ACS/WFC, WFC3/UVIS, and WFC3/IR photometric data generated using SExtractor software to produce the individual source lists. The catalog includes roughly 80 million detections of 30 million objects involving 112 different detector/filter combinations, and about 160 thousand HST exposures. Source lists from Data Release 8 of the Hubble Legacy Archive are matched using an algorithm developed by Budavari & Lubow (2012). The mea…

AXS: A framework for fast astronomical data processing based on Apache SparkPetar Zečević, Colin T. Slater, Mario Jurić et al. · 2019 · Instrumentation et méthodes pour l’astrophysique · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
We introduce AXS (Astronomy eXtensions for Spark), a scalable open-source astronomical data analysis framework built on Apache Spark, a widely used industry-standard engine for big data processing. Building on capabilities present in Spark, AXS aims to enable querying and analyzing almost arbitrarily large astronomical catalogs using familiar Python/AstroPy concepts, DataFrame APIs, and SQL statements. We achieve this by i) adding support to Spark for efficient on-line positional cross-matching and ii) supplying a Python library supporting commonly-used operations for astronomical data analysis. To support scalable cross-matching, we developed a variant of the ZONES algorithm \citep{there-go…

Effective Image Differencing with ConvNets for Real-time Transient HuntingNima Sedaghat, Ashish Mahabal · 2017 · Instrumentation et méthodes pour l’astrophysique · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
Large sky surveys are increasingly relying on image subtraction pipelines for real-time (and archival) transient detection. In this process one has to contend with varying PSF, small brightness variations in many sources, as well as artifacts resulting from saturated stars, and, in general, matching errors. Very often the differencing is done with a reference image that is deeper than individual images and the attendant difference in noise characteristics can also lead to artifacts. We present here a deep-learning approach to transient detection that encapsulates all the steps of a traditional image subtraction pipeline -- image registration, background subtraction, noise removal, psf matchi…

Prospects of the multi-channel photometric survey telescope in the cosmological application of Type Ia supernovaeZhenyu Wang, Ju-Jia Zhang, Xinzhong Er et al. · 2024 · Instrumentation et méthodes pour l’astrophysique · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
The Multi-channel Photometric Survey Telescope (Mephisto) is a real-time, three-color photometric system designed to capture the color evolution of stars and transients accurately. This telescope system can be crucial in cosmological distance measurements of low-redshift (low-$z$, $z$ $\lesssim 0.1$) Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). To optimize the capabilities of this instrument, we perform a comprehensive simulation study before its official operation is scheduled to start. By considering the impact of atmospheric extinction, weather conditions, and the lunar phase at the observing site involving the instrumental features, we simulate the light curves of SNe Ia obtained by the Mephisto. The be…

Toward an understanding of the properties of neural network approaches for supernovae light curve approximationMariia Demianenko, Konstantin Malanchev, Ekaterina Samorodova et al. · 2022 · Instrumentation et méthodes pour l’astrophysique · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
The modern time-domain photometric surveys collect a lot of observations of various astronomical objects, and the coming era of large-scale surveys will provide even more information. Most of the objects have never received a spectroscopic follow-up, which is especially crucial for transients e.g. supernovae. In such cases, observed light curves could present an affordable alternative. Time series are actively used for photometric classification and characterization, such as peak and luminosity decline estimation. However, the collected time series are multidimensional, irregularly sampled, contain outliers, and do not have well-defined systematic uncertainties. Machine learning methods help…

Point spread function modelling for astronomical telescopes: a review focused on weak gravitational lensing studiesTobias Liaudat, Jean-Luc Starck, Martin Kilbinger et al. · 2023 · Instrumentation et méthodes pour l’astrophysique · Résumé IA disponible
Résumé scientifique
The accurate modelling of the Point Spread Function (PSF) is of paramount importance in astronomical observations, as it allows for the correction of distortions and blurring caused by the telescope and atmosphere. PSF modelling is crucial for accurately measuring celestial objects' properties. The last decades brought us a steady increase in the power and complexity of astronomical telescopes and instruments. Upcoming galaxy surveys like Euclid and LSST will observe an unprecedented amount and quality of data. Modelling the PSF for these new facilities and surveys requires novel modelling techniques that can cope with the ever-tightening error requirements. The purpose of this review is thr…
