Do you remember which computer were you using in 1995? What were the favourite operating systems and programming languages in the ADASS community by then? The World Wide Web was just born, and it has changed everybody’s life to a point nobody ever imagined.
When ESA decided to build the ISO Data Archive in 1995, no one expected this would be the beginning of a journey towards establishing the...
The Nightly Digest (ND) is a web application that condenses Rubin observatory operations into clear visual indicators and key metrics of efficiency, downtime, and key events for a large and diverse cohort of stakeholders.
Developed by the Astronomy Data and Computing Services (ADACS) team in Australia in collaboration with the Rubin Telescope and Site Software team as part of...
The Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) is the primary archive for the soon-to-launch Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. As part of that mission, a science platform known as the Roman Research Nexus (RRN) is being built to make it possible for the user community to view and analyze data at the scales Roman will produce it. As part of this effort, MAST is developing a set of tools that...
This work analyzes machine learning approaches to exoplanet detection. We discuss methodological strengths and limitations including reliance on preprocessing, sensitivity to data imbalance, challenges with interpretability, and limited cross-mission generalization. We review more than 20 published machine learning (ML) models designed for this task including AstroNet, ExoNet, Genesis and...
