*These researchers are part of the PLAsTiCC team focusing on metric selection and competition
design,  they did not have a role in producing,  seeing,  nor validating the data,  and as
such are allowed to compete in the challenge fully.
**Modelers:**
In addition, the  PLAsTiCC data set generation relied on numerous members of the astronomical community who provided models of astronomical transients and variables. While we cannot
thank them by name at this point, we acknowledge here their anonymous contributions - which will be disclosed once the competition is over.
