Fink Science
This repository contains science modules used to generate added values to alert collected by the Fink broker. It currently contains:
| Source | Field in Fink alerts | Type | Contents |
|---|---|---|---|
| fink_science/xmatch | cdsxmatch |
string | Counterpart (cross-match) in the Simbad database using the CDS xmatch service. Contains also crossmatch to the General Catalog of Variable Stars and the International Variable Star Index (not yet deployed) |
| fink_science/random_forest_snia | rf_snia_vs_nonia |
float | Probability to be a rising SNe Ia based on Random Forest classifier (1 is SN Ia). Based on https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.11438 |
| fink_science/snn | snn_snia_vs_nonia |
float | Probability to be a SNe Ia based on SuperNNova classifier (1 is SN Ia). Based on https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.06384 |
| fink_science/snn | snn_sn_vs_all |
float | Probability to be a SNe based on SuperNNova classifier (1 is SNe). Based on https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.06384 |
| fink_science/microlensing | mulens |
float | Probability score to be a microlensing event by LIA |
| fink_science/asteroids | roid |
int | Determine if the alert is a Solar System object |
| fink_science/kilonova | rf_kn_vs_nonkn |
float | probability of an alert to be a kilonova using a Random Forest Classifier (binary classification). |
| fink_science/nalerthist | nalerthist |
int | Number of detections contained in each alert (current+history). Upper limits are not taken into account. |
You will find README in each subfolder describing the module.
