LCO CR Dataset (Las Cumbres Observatory Cosmic Ray Dataset)

Cosmic rays in the LCO CR dataset are labeled accurately and consistently across many diverse observations from various instruments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest dataset of its kind. It consists of over 4,500 scientific images from Las Cumbres Observatory global telescope network's 23 instruments. Each sample in our dataset is a multi-extension FITS file, including three images, three corresponding CR masks, and three ignore masks.
