Space Warps

Crowd-sourced discovery of gravitational lenses. We are a Zooniverse project, which launched in Spring 2013 at http://spacewarps.org. This repository contains code and documentation being developed by the science team.

Two papers on the first dataset we searched for lenses, the CFHTLS, have been published:

The web app itself is being developed here as part of the Zooniverse project. The simulated lenses used in the training sample are created with SIMCT. If you are interested in building a site like Space Warps using Zooniverse techology, keep an eye on their website or drop them a line.
