AI-enabled gravitational-waves searches for binary neutron stars at optimal sensitivity

Bhavya Gupta, Deep Chatterjee, William Benoit, Ethan Marx, Christina Reissel, Seiya Tsukamoto, et al.

Gravitational Waves (GWs) represent the newest window of astronomy, furthering our understanding of compact objects like black holes and neutron stars in the Universe. The signal from two merging neutron stars is especially interesting since it brings the prospect of concordant e…

Leveraging Multimodality for Real-Time Classification of Transients and Variables found by the Zwicky Transient Facility

Ved G. Shah, Nabeel Rehemtulla, Adam A. Miller, Sushant Sharma Chaudhary, Michael W. Coughlin, Antoine Le Calloch, et al.

Modern time-domain surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) generate hundreds of thousands of alerts each night, making real-time decisions for follow-up observations a central challenge in time-domain astronomy. Robust early classification is crucial for making inform…
