Tails identifies and localizes comets in image data from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a robotic optical sky survey, using deep-learning with a custom EfficientDet-based architecture. It detects comets in single images in near real time, rather than requiring multiple epochs as in traditional methods. In production, Tails achieves 99% recall, a false positive rate below 0.01%, and 1–2 pixel root mean square error in the predicted position.

NMMA probes nuclear physics and cosmology with multimessenger analysis. This fully featured, Bayesian multi-messenger pipeline targets joint analyses of gravitational-wave and electromagnetic data (focusing on the optical). Using bilby (ascl:1901.011) as the back-end, the software uses a variety of samplers to sampling these data sets. NMMA uses chiral effective field theory based neutron star equation of states when performing inference, and is also capable of estimating the Hubble Constant.
