What’s the Difference? The Potential for Convolutional Neural Networks for Transient Detection without Template Subtraction

We present a study of the potential for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to enable separation of astrophysical transients from image artifacts, a task known as “real–bogus” classification, without requiring a template-subtracted (or difference) image, which requires a computationally expensive p...
