Description

This is the dataset from DELIGHT [1], a model that locates the host galaxy of a transient from multi-resolution images. The difference with the original is that the images are not the cutouts used in the paper: they were regenerated from hips2fits (PanSTARRS DR1 HiPS, served by CDS).

It contains 535,743 examples, built by autolabeling: transient positions are simulated, not observed. For each of the 7,350 host galaxies in h2f_delight_train, positions are drawn uniformly inside the elliptical footprint of its r-band Sérsic fit, truncated at 3·Re. The number of draws per galaxy is ceil(profile_area_in_pixels * 0.01), with a minimum of one, which yields 72.89 examples per galaxy on average.

Every cutout is centered on the simulated transient position, and the host_pos label is the offset from there to the host galaxy. The fold column is inherited from h2f_delight_train, so the 5-fold cross-validation split is preserved and no host galaxy leaks between training and validation.

Image format

image has shape (535743, 5, 1, 30, 30), which maps to (examples, resolution levels, photometric bands, height, width). Only the r band was downloaded, hence the size-1 band dimension.

Columns

Column Type Description
Image and label
image (5,1,30,30) float32 Multi-resolution PanSTARRS r-band cutout, centered on the simulated transient position.
host_pos float32 × 2 Offset [x, y] from the simulated transient to the host galaxy, in level-0 pixels.
Identification
oid string Identifier of the real transient this galaxy came from. Repeats across the draws of the same galaxy.
host_name string Catalog name of the host galaxy.
Host galaxy
host_redshift float64 Redshift of the host; NaN when unknown.
hostsize float64 Angular size of the host galaxy from the catalog.
host_ra float64 Right ascension of the host, in degrees.
host_dec float64 Declination of the host, in degrees.
Real transient position
meanra float64 Mean right ascension of the real transient, in degrees. Not the center of this cutout.
meandec float64 Mean declination of the real transient, in degrees. Not the center of this cutout.
sn_ra float64 Right ascension of the real supernova, in degrees.
sn_dec float64 Declination of the real supernova, in degrees.
Sérsic fit — r band, from CasJobs
rSerRadius float64 Effective radius Re of the r-band Sérsic fit, in arcsec. Defines the sampling region.
rSerMag float64 Magnitude of the r-band Sérsic fit.
rSerAb float64 Axis ratio b/a of the fitted ellipse, between 0 and 1. Defines the sampling region.
rSerPhi float64 Position angle of the fitted ellipse, in degrees. Defines the sampling region.
rSerRa float64 Right ascension of the Sérsic fit center, in degrees.
rSerDec float64 Declination of the Sérsic fit center, in degrees.
Cross-validation
fold int64 Cross-validation fold, from 1 to 5, inherited from the source galaxy.
