The Fast Radio Burst-emitting magnetar SGR 1935+2154 -- proper motion and variability from long-term Hubble Space Telescope monitoring
J. D. Lyman, A. J. Levan, K. Wiersema +3
We present deep Hubble Space Telescope near-infrared (NIR) observations of the magnetar SGR 1935+2154 from June 2021, approximately 6 years after the first HST observations, a year…
Estimating Transient Rates from Cosmological Simulations and BPASS
M. M. Briel, J. J. Eldridge, E. R. Stanway +2
The detection rate of electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational wave (GW) transients is growing exponentially. As the accuracy of the transient rates will significantly improve over t…
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO): prototype performance and prospects for transient science
D. Steeghs, D. K. Galloway, K. Ackley +50
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is an array of wide-field optical telescopes, designed to exploit new discoveries from the next generation of gravitational…
Searching For Fermi GRB Optical Counterparts With The Prototype Gravitational-Wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
Y. -L. Mong, K. Ackley, D. K. Galloway +45
The typical detection rate of gamma-ray burst (GRB) per day by the \emph{Fermi} Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) provides a valuable opportunity to further our understanding o…
Light curve classification with recurrent neural networks for GOTO: dealing with imbalanced data
U. F. Burhanudin, J. R. Maund, T. Killestein +42
The advent of wide-field sky surveys has led to the growth of transient and variable source discoveries. The data deluge produced by these surveys has necessitated the use of machi…
Processing GOTO data with the Rubin Observatory LSST Science Pipelines II: Forced Photometry and light curves
L. Makrygianni, J. Mullaney, V. Dhillon +45
We have adapted the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Science Pipelines to process data from the Gravitational-Wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)…
The Galactic neutron star population I - an extragalactic view of the Milky Way and the implications for fast radio bursts
A. A. Chrimes, A. J. Levan, P. J. Groot +2
A key tool astronomers have to investigate the nature of extragalactic transients is their position on their host galaxies. Galactocentric offsets, enclosed fluxes and the fraction…
Transient-optimised real-bogus classification with Bayesian Convolutional Neural Networks -- sifting the GOTO candidate stream
T. L. Killestein, J. Lyman, D. Steeghs +45
Large-scale sky surveys have played a transformative role in our understanding of astrophysical transients, only made possible by increasingly powerful machine learning-based filte…
