Status Tags

This page describes the various follow-up and observing status tags that can be assigned to a transient in YSE_PZ.

• New - Object recently discovered and unsorted. Nobody should ever manually assign something to this category.

• Watch - Object that may be targeted for follow-up observations. This is the primary category assigned during triage.

• Interesting - Particularly interesting objects that may be targeted for follow-up observations.

• FollowupRequested - Object with no dedicated follow-up observation yet obtained, but a request has been made.

• Following - Objects actively being followed with non-survey observations. At least one dedicated observation is necessary for this tag.

• NeedsTemplate - Object with dedicated follow-up observations that will not get additional observations of the transient, but where template observations are required.

• FollowupFinished - Object with dedicated follow-up observations that will not get additional observations of the transient, and no additional template observations are required.

• Ignore - All objects where no follow-up observations have been obtained and none will be obtained.
