Methodology

FLEET uses a random forest algorithm to predict whether a transient is most likely to be a SLSN or a TDE, for details of the methods see the ApJ papers:

  • [1]: original paper describing the algorithm and its application to superluminous supernovae (SLSNe).

  • [2]: TDE paper describing the algorithm and its application to tidal disruption events (TDEs).

  • [3]: updated paper describing the first two years of operations in search for SLSNe.
