Despite the growing number of gamma-ray sources detected by Fermi-LAT, about one third of the sources in each survey remains of uncertain type. We present a new deep neural network approach for the classification of unidentified or…
Pulsed gamma rays have been detected with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) from more than 20 millisecond pulsars (MSPs), some of which were discovered in radio observations of bright, unassociated LAT sources. We have fit the radio and…
SVOM is a Sino-French space mission targeting high-energy transient astrophysical objects such as gamma-ray bursts. The soft X-ray part of the spectrum is covered by the Micro-channel X-ray Telescope (MXT) which is a narrow field telescope…
The Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) is a topometric algorithm used to cluster spatial data that are affected by background noise. For the first time, we propose the use of this method for the detection…
A novel application of machine-learning (ML) based image processing algorithms is proposed to analyze an all-sky map (ASM) obtained using the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. An attempt was made to simulate a one-year ASM from a…
Searching for as yet undetected gamma-ray sources is a major target of the Fermi LAT Collaboration. We present an algorithm capable of identifying such type of sources by non-parametrically clustering the directions of arrival of the…
