    The Deep Learning Identification of Galaxy Hosts in Transients (DELIGHT, Förster et al. 2022, submitted) is a library created by the ALeRCE broker to automatically identify host galaxies of transient candidates using multi-resolution images and a convolutional neural network (you can test it with our example notebook, that you can run in Colab). The initial idea for DELIGHT started as a project proposed for the La Serena School of Data Science in 2021. You can install it using pip install astro-delight, but we recommend cloning this repository and pip install . from there. The library has a class with several methods that allow you to get the most likely host coordinates starting from given transient coordinates. In order to do this, the delight object needs a list of object identifiers and coordinates (oid, ra, dec). With this information, it downloads PanSTARRS images centered around the position of the transients (2 arcmin x 2 arcmin), gets their WCS solutions, creates the multi-resolution images, does some extra preprocessing of the data, and finally predicts the position of the hosts using a multi-resolution image and a convolutional neural network. It can also estimate the host's semi-major axis if requested taking advantage of the multi-resolution images. Note that DELIGHT's prediction time is currently dominated by the time to download PanSTARRS images using the panstamps service. In the future, we expect that there will be services that directly provide multi-resolution images, which should be more lightweight with no significant loss of information. Once these images are obtained, the processing times are only milliseconds per host. If you cannot install some of the dependencies, e.g. tensorflow, you can try running DELIGHT directly from Google Colab (test in this link).

    DELIGHT: Deep Learning Identification of Galaxy Hosts of Transients using Multiresolution Images
    (2022) Förster, Francisco; Muñoz Arancibia, Alejandra M.; Reyes-Jainaga, Ignacio; Gagliano, Alexander; Britt, Dylan; Cuellar-Carrillo, Sara; Figueroa-Tapia, Felipe; Polzin, Ava; Yousef, Yara; Arredondo, Javier; Rodríguez-Mancini, Diego; Correa-Orellana, Javier; Bayo, Amelia; Bauer, Franz E.; Catelan, Márcio; Cabrera-Vives, Guillermo; Dastidar, Raya; Estévez, Pablo A.; Pignata, Giuliano; Hernández-García, Lorena; Huijse, Pablo; Reyes, Esteban; Sánchez-Sáez, Paula; Ramírez, Mauricio; Grandón, Daniela; Pineda-García, Jonathan; Chabour-Barra, Francisca; Silva-Farfán, Javier
    We present DELIGHT, or Deep Learning Identification of Galaxy Hosts of Transients, a new algorithm designed to automatically and in real time identify the host galaxies of extragalactic transients. The proposed algorithm receives as input compact, multiresolution images centered at the position of a transient candidate and outputs two-dimensional offset vectors that connect the transient with the center of its predicted host. The multiresolution input consists of a set of images with the same number of pixels, but with progressively larger pixel sizes and fields of view. A sample of 16,791 galaxies visually identified by the Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events broker team was used to train a convolutional neural network regression model. We show that this method is able to correctly identify both relatively large (10″ < r < 60″) and small (r ≤ 10″) apparent size host galaxies using much less information (32 kB) than with a large, single-resolution image (920 kB). The proposed method has fewer catastrophic errors in recovering the position and is more complete and has less contamination (<0.86%) recovering the crossmatched redshift than other state-of-the-art methods. The more efficient representation provided by multiresolution input images could allow for the identification of transient host galaxies in real time, if adopted in alert streams from new generation of large -etendue telescopes such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory....
