[:en]MAS is using machine learning, information theory, signal & imaging processing and statistical techniques to face the challenges of the Big Data era in astronomy. Examples of the tasks that MAS is addressing are the following: (1) detection and classification of periodic variable stars based on their light curves, (2)…
[:en]Transients, variables, and planets[:es]Transientes, variables y planetas[:]
[:en]MAS is carrying out two wide-angle optical surveys, HiTS and ASAS-SN, covering a wide range in limiting magnitude (17-24th) and cadence (2 days-2 hours), allowing us to explore the luminosity-time scale parameter space for transient phenomena. MAS is planning HATPI, an all-sky, high-cadence survey. These data are a treasure trove…

[:en] MAS is studying the structure, origin and evolution of the Milky Way and other galaxies throughout the Local Group. MAS is addressing this topic by leading/participating in future and ongoing surveys, such as VVV, Araucaria, CRTS, SkyMapper, and LSST. Its main goals are: (1) to define the Milky Way’s…
