contents We explore the use of Swin Transformer V2, a pre-trained vision Transformer, for photometric classification in a multi-survey setting by leveraging light curves from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS). We evaluate different strategies for integrating data from these surveys and find that a multi-survey architecture which processes them jointly achieves the best performance. These results highlight the importance of modeling survey-specific characteristics and cross-survey interactions, and provide guidance for building scalable classifiers for future time-domain astronomy.
