Description

Fink-FAT (Fink Asteroid Tracker) is a Rust-based pipeline for ingesting photometric alerts, linking detections of moving objects across one or more nights, and reconstructing candidate trajectories. Outfit, a standalone Rust package, is used within this workflow to derive preliminary orbital solutions. In this talk, we will first introduce Outfit and Fink-FAT, then present the first results obtained from early alert data, with a focus on algorithmic performance, robustness, and current limitations. We will conclude with a live demonstration of the pipeline, illustrating how the two tools can support the analysis of high-cadence astronomical alerts.
