Unfortunately, artifacts — such as plane or satellite tracks, bad columns on CCDs, and ghosts — often constitute significant contaminants in results from anomaly detection analysis. In such contexts, the Active Anomaly Discovery (AAD) algorithm allows tailoring the output of anomaly detection pipelines according to what the expert judges to be scientifically interesting. We demonstrate how the introduction real-bogus scores, obtained from a machine learning classifier, improves the results from AAD. Using labeled data from the SNAD ZTF knowledge database, we train four real-bogus classifiers: XGBoost, CatBoost, Random Forest, and Extremely Randomized Trees. All the models perform real-bogus classification with similar effectiveness, achieving ROC-AUC scores ranging from 0.93 to 0.95. Consequently, we select the Random Forest model as the main model due to its simplicity and interpretability. The Random Forest classifier is applied to 67 million light curves from ZTF DR17. The output real-bogus score is used as an additional feature for two anomaly detection algorithms: static Isolation Forest and AAD. The number of artifacts detected by both algorithms decreases significantly with the inclusion of the real-bogus score in cases where the feature space regions are densely populated with artifacts. However, it remains almost unchanged in scenarios where the overall number of artifacts in the outputs is already small. We conclude that incorporating the real-bogus classifier result as an additional feature in the active anomaly detection pipeline reduces the number of artifacts in the outputs, thereby increasing the incidence of astrophysically interesting objects presented to human experts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48757,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy and Computing","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 100919"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143144116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurately detecting the new crescent moon immediately after its conjunction is essential for ensuring the precision of the calendar, but it poses a technical challenge due to the low contrast between the new crescent moon and its background. This study aimed to solve the challenge of reliably identifying the new crescent moon at this critical phase, which is vital for accurately determining important dates that signify religious events. It intended to create and verify a computer vision model that would greatly improves the precision and efficiency of identifying a new crescent moon based on images. This will assist in precisely identifying important dates relevant to Muslim religious practices. The methodology employs image preprocessing techniques such as Gaussian Blur for image smoothing and Adaptive Thresholding for contrast enhancement to optimize the visibility of the crescent moon in a single image. The Circular Hough Transform (CHT) technique was used to accurately detect the new crescent moon, while the OpenCV software package helped to implement all of these methods, thus, providing a strong foundation for precisely identifying the new crescent moon. Findings of this study, which involved observations at Kolej Ugama Sultan Zainal Abidin (KUSZA) Observatory, Teluk Kemang Observatory, and Miri Observatory, indicate that the utilization of image processing techniques results in significant improvements in both the efficiency and precision of identifying and detecting the new crescent moon. These enhancements exceed the performance of conventional digital imaging methods employed during regular observations. The model’s processing rate surpasses the usual observation efficiency and showcases exceptional accuracy in distinguishing images that feature the new crescent moon from those that do not. In conclusion, the proposed model demonstrates an effective and efficient methodology for improving the precision of lunar calendar management and the quick planning of important Islamic religious events in accordance with the lunar cycle. This technological advancement offers a reliable method for accurately seeing the crescent moon, which has important implications for enhancing the precision of lunar-based calendars and coordinating important Islamic religious occasions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48757,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy and Computing","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 100902"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143144108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing linear transformations that deform both the temporal and radial coefficients of the metric, the field equations with a dual matter source are successfully decoupled into two sets. The first of these sets is described by the metric for the vacuum Schwarzschild spacetime, while the second set corresponds to the added extra source. Three extended solutions are obtained using two restrictions on the metric potentials and extra source, respectively. For selected values of the Rastall and decoupling parameters, we study the impact of the fluctuation of these parameters on the obtained models. We also investigate the asymptotic flatness of the resulting spacetimes by analysis of the metric coefficients. Finally, the nature of the additional source is explored for each model, via analysis of the energy conditions. It is found among other results that none of the obtained models satisfy the energy conditions, while only the model corresponding to the barotropic equation of state mimics an asymptotically flat spacetime.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48757,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy and Computing","volume":"50 ","pages":"Article 100897"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142702064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
