CMU DeepLens: Deep Learning For Automatic Image-based Galaxy-Galaxy Strong Lens Finding

1 code implementation • 8 Mar 2017 • Francois Lanusse, Quanbin Ma, Nan Li, Thomas E. Collett, Chun-Liang Li, Siamak Ravanbakhsh, Rachel Mandelbaum, Barnabas Poczos

We find on our simulated data set that for a rejection rate of non-lenses of 99%, a completeness of 90% can be achieved for lenses with Einstein radii larger than 1. 4" and S/N larger than 20 on individual $g$-band LSST exposures.

About 90\% of the observing time will be devoted to a deep-wide-fast survey mode which will uniformly observe a 18, 000 deg$^2$ region about 800 times (summed over all six bands) during the anticipated 10 years of operations, and yield a coadded map to $r\sim27. 5$.
