LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC)

  • Developing an LSST alert stream broker: Fink (PI together with J. Peloton and E. Ishida).
  • Constructing a recommendation system for follow-up of supernovae for cosmology RESSPECT.
  • Photometric classification and machine learning.

  • In 2019, I released the framework SuperNNova , an open-source photometric supernova classifier that uses Deep Learning's Recurrent Neural Networks and Bayesian RNNs. We make emphasis on reproducibility, the code is in GitHub and statistical robustness of our methods (in particular uncertainty interpretability). SuperNNova is being applied to a variety of science cases including the DES 5-year photometric sample and Fink broker.
  • Dark Energy Survey (DES)

  • Cosmology with DES photometrically selected supernovae Ia.
  • Selection biases for the First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae From the Dark Energy Survey . Results permeate to a series of paper characterizing our sample, e.g. [1] , [2] , [3] and many more.
  • Subluminous supernovae (91bg like): linked to Diffuse Galactic antimatter from faint thermonuclear supernovae in old stellar populations.
  • OzDES

  • Supernova host-galaxy spectra (1st data release) (Final data release)
  • Average galaxy properties through spectra stacking.
  • Other transients and supernovae.
  • SkyMapper Transient Survey (SMT)

  • Supernovae and other transients First results, Pipeline,
  • Search electromagnetic counterparts to events such as Gravitational Waves and Fast radio Bursts [1] [2]
