System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the final stage of the ESE science pipeline by comparing daily photometry against baseline catalogs to identify variable sources, new transient sources, and fading sources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify Variable Sources: Detect significant flux changes from baseline, flagging potential ESE candidates.
  • Detect New Sources: Identify sources present in daily observations but absent from baseline catalogs, indicating possible transients.
  • Flag Fading Sources: Recognize baseline sources that have fallen below the detection threshold.
  • Use Case: Automatically process daily astronomical observations to flag celestial objects exhibiting unusual brightness changes, enabling rapid follow-up for transient events.

Quick Start

Use the Variable Source Detection Skill to find new and variable sources in the latest observational data against the unicat baseline catalog.
