Presentation Transcript
(Roman Alerts Promptly from Image Differencing) A Roman Space Telescope Project Infrastructure Team (PIT) Enabling Time Domain with Roman Mansi Kasliwal (PI; Caltech), Ben Rusholme (IPAC), Schuyler Van Dyk (IPAC), Roberta Paladini (IPAC), Lin Yan (Caltech), Ashish Mahabal (Caltech), Joe Masiero (IPAC), Russ Laher (IPAC), Jacob Jencson (IPAC) 1
Our goal is to provide four services to the Roman community: Rapid image-differencing of every new Roman image from a reference image Prompt public alert stream of all Roman transient and variable candidates Source-matched light curve files for every identified Roman candidate Forced-photometry service for photometric history at any observed location 2
Low latency is the high priority for RAPID Pull calibrated Level-2 WFI data from the SOC staging location (< 48 hour turnaround) Execute image differencing and prompt public alert broadcasting (< 1 hour) Includes initial source classification via machine learning Offer forced photometry on difference images (< 24 hour) Append and release light curve history or sources Archive public alerts via STScI MAST 3
RAPID Pipeline Flow Leveraging our previous experience with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) End-to-end testing and validation 4
