Fast Supernovae Detection using Neural Networks

📑 Inhaltsübersicht
A guest post by Rodrigo Carrasco-Davis & , ChileCrab Nebula, remnant of a supernova. Space Telescope Science Institute/NASA/ESA/J. Hester/A. Loll (Arizona State University). This image is from (ZTF), which is currently operating, or Science, reference and difference image from left to right. These three images, plus extra important data such as observation conditions and information about the object. The fourth image is a colored version from . You can see the full evolution of brightness in time of the supernova in the , .

Since these alerts are basically everything that changes in the sky, we should be able to find supernovae among all the alerts sent by the ZTF telescope. The problem is that other astronomical objects also produce alerts, such as stars that change their brightness (variable stars), active galactic nuclei (AGNs), asteroids and errors in the measurement (bogus alerts). Fortunately, there are some distinguishable features in the science, reference and difference images that could help us to identify which alert is supernovae, or other objects. We would like to effectively discriminate among these five classes of objects.
). In this work, we used the first alert only to quickly find supernovae.

Our architecture provides rotational invariance by making 90° rotated copies of each image in the training set, to then apply average pooling to the dense representation of each rotated version of the image. Imposing rotational invariance in this problem is very helpful, since there is no particular orientation in which structures may appear in the images of the alert (). We also added part of the metadata contained in the alert, such as the position in sky coordinates, distance to other known objects, and atmospheric condition metrics. After training the model using cross-entropy, the probabilities were highly concentrated around values of 0 or 1, even in cases when the classifier was wrong in its predicted class. This is not so convenient when an expert further filters supernovae candidates after the model made a prediction. Saturated values of 0 or 1 do not give any insight about the chances of a wrong classification and second or third class guess made by the model.

Therefore, in addition to the cross-entropy term in the loss function, we added an extra to maximize the entropy of the prediction, in order to spread the values of the output probabilities (
Convolutional neural network with enhanced rotational invariance. Rotated copies for each input are created and fed to the same CNN architecture, to then apply average pooling in the dense layer before concatenating with the metadata. Finally, two other fully connected layers, and a softmax are applied to obtain the predictions.
We performed inference on 400,000 objects uniformly distributed in space over the full coverage of ZTF, as a sanity check of the model predictions. It turns out that each predicted class by the CNN is spatially distributed as expected given the nature of each astronomical object. For instance, AGNs and supernovae (SNe) are mostly found outside the Milky Way plane (extragalactic objects), since it is less likely that further objects can be seen through the Milky Way plane due to occlusion. The model correctly predicts less number of objects close to the Milky Way plane (Galactic latitudes closer to 0). Variable stars are correctly found with higher density within the Galactic plane. Asteroids are found near the solar system plane, also called the ecliptic (marked as a yellow line) as expected and bogus alerts are spread everywhere. Running inference in a large unlabeled set gave us very important clues regarding biases in our training set and helped us to identify important metadata used by the CNN.

We found that the information within the images (science, reference and difference) is enough to obtain a good classification in the training set, but integrating the information from the metadata was critical to obtain the right spatial distribution of the predictions.
is a visualization tool that shows important information about the alert so the astronomer chooses which objects should report as supernovae. It also has a button to report wrong classifications made by our model, so we can add it to the training set to later improve the model using these examples labeled by hand.
User interface for exploration of supernovae candidates. It shows a list with the alerts with a high probability of being a supernova. For each alert, the images of the alert, the position of the object and metadata are displayed on the web page.
Using the neural network classifier and the Supernova Hunter, we have been able to confirm 394 supernovae spectroscopically, and report 3060 supernovae candidates to the . We developed a neural network model that is able to receive a sequence of images instead of a single stamp, so every time a new image is available for a specific object, the model is able to integrate the new arriving information so it can improve the certainty of its prediction for each class.

Another key point of our effort is focused on finding rare objects using outlier detection techniques. This is a crucial task since these new telescopes will possibly reveal new kinds of astronomical objects due to the unprecedented sampling rate and the spatial depth of each observation.

We think this new way of analyzing massive amounts of astronomical data will be not only helpful but necessary. The organization, classification and redistribution of the data for the scientific community is an important part of doing science with astronomical data. This task requires expertise from different fields, such as computer science, astronomy, engineering and mathematics. The construction of new modern telescopes such as The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will drastically change the way astronomers study celestial objects, and as the ALeRCE broker we will be ready to make this possible.
