In this science vlog, PhD student Tony Rodriguez at Caltech presents a new tool for the quick identification of Galactic X-ray sources. The tool combines data from optical surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility and X-ray data to identify classes of X-ray galactic objects in our Galaxy. The paper is now published (open access) in the Astronomical Society of the Pacific at https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10...
