Astrophysical light curves are particularly challenging data objects due to the intensity and variety of noise contaminating them. Yet, despite the astronomical volumes of light curves available, the majority of algorithms used to process them are still operating on a per-sample basis. To remedy this, we propose a simple Transformer model -- called Denoising Time Series Transformer (DTST) -- and show that it excels at removing the noise and outliers in datasets of time series when trained with a masked objective, even when no clean targets are available. Moreover, the use of self-attention enables rich and illustrative queries into the learned representations. We present experiments on real stellar light curves from the Transiting Exoplanet Space Satellite (TESS), showing advantages of our approach compared to traditional denoising techniques.

We present experiments on real light curves from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS, Ricker et al., 2015).This is the first time a deep learning model is proposed to try to address both imputation and denoising on a dataset of light curves.
