Fix classifier logic for TNS objects. #148

Closed KKruszynska closed 4 months ago

KKruszynska commented 4 months ago

In toolbox/classifier_tools.py function check_known_variable was setting events with known TNS name but without TNS classification as "Known transient". Unfortunately, this resulted in Gaia Science Alerts not being considered as microlensing events, because all of them receive a TNS name at the time of publication. I commented on a section, where this happens and this should improve valid microlensing events detection by run_TAP.
