The return of the spin period in DW Cnc and evidence of new high state outbursts
C. Duffy, G. Ramsay, D. Steeghs +16
DW Cnc is an intermediate polar which has previously been observed in both high and low states. Observations of the high state of DW Cnc have previously revealed a spin period at ~…
The PLATO field selection process I. Identification and content of the long-pointing fields
V. Nascimbeni, G. Piotto, A. Börner +26
PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is an ESA M-class satellite planned for launch by end 2026 and dedicated to the wide-field search of transiting planets around…
The all-sky PLATO input catalogue
M. Montalto, G. Piotto, P. M. Marrese +29
Context. The ESA PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission will search for terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-type stars. Because of telemetry li…
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…
TESS observations of flares and quasi-periodic pulsations from low mass stars and potential impact on exoplanets
Gavin Ramsay, Dmitrii Kolotkov, J. Gerry Doyle +1
We have performed a search for flares and Quasi-Periodic Pulsations (QPPs) from low mass M dwarf stars using TESS 2 min cadence data. We find seven stars which show evidence of QPP…
The ASKAP Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) Pilot Survey
Tara Murphy, David L. Kaplan, Adam J. Stewart +52
The Variables and Slow Transients Survey (VAST) on the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is designed to detect highly variable and transient radio sources on tim…
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)…
Detection of an energetic flare from the M5V secondary star in the Polar MQ Dra
Gavin Ramsay, Pasi Hakala, Matt Wood
MQ Dra is a strongly magnetic Cataclysmic Variable whose white dwarf accretes material from its secondary star through a stellar wind at a low rate. TESS observations were made of…
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…
Evidence that short period AM CVn systems are diverse in outburst behaviour
C. Duffy, G. Ramsay, D. Steeghs +12
We present results of our analysis of up to 15 years of photometric data from eight AM CVn systems with orbital periods between 22.5 and 26.8 min. Our data has been collected from…
