ULTRASAT: A wide-field time-domain UV space telescope
Y. Shvartzvald, E. Waxman, A. Gal-Yam +41
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is scheduled to be launched to geostationary orbit in 2026. It will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field o…
A six year image-subtraction light curve of SN 2010jl
E. O. Ofek, B. Zackay, A. Gal-Yam +9
SN2010jl was a luminous Type IIn supernova (SN), detected in radio, optical, X-ray and hard X-rays. Here we report on its six year R- and g-band light curves obtained using the Pal…
A Distant Fast Radio Burst Associated to its Host Galaxy with the Very Large Array
C. J. Law, B. J. Butler, J. X. Prochaska +17
We present the discovery and subarcsecond localization of a new Fast Radio Burst with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array and realfast search system. The FRB was discovered on 2019…

The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is a wide-field visible-light telescope array designed to explore the variable and transient sky with a high cadence. LAST will be composed…
TRANSLIENT: Detecting Transients Resulting from Point Source Motion or Astrometric Errors
O. Springer, E. O. Ofek, B. Zackay +10
Detection of moving sources over complicated background is important for several reasons. First is measuring the astrophysical motion of the source. Second is that such motion resu…
