The DESI Transients Survey: Legacy Classifications and Methodology

Xander J. Hall, Antonella Palmese, Segev BenZvi +56

We present the first systematic spectroscopic observations of extragalactic transients from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), as part of the DESI Transients Survey p…

AT2025ulz and S250818k: Leveraging DESI spectroscopy in the hunt for a kilonova associated with a sub-solar mass gravitational wave candidate

Xander J. Hall, Antonella Palmese, Brendan O'Connor +47

On August 18th, 2025, the LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA collaboration reported a sub-threshold gravitational wave candidate detection consistent with a sub-solar-mass neutron star merger, den…

AT 2018dyk: tidal disruption event or active galactic nucleus? Follow-up observations of an extreme coronal line emitter with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Peter Clark, Joseph Callow, Or Graur +29

We present fresh insights into the nature of the tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate AT 2018dyk. AT 2018dyk has sparked a debate in the literature around its classification as e…

Rates and properties of type Ia supernovae in galaxy clusters within the Dark Energy Survey

M. Toy, P. Wiseman, M. Sullivan +59

We identify 66 photometrically classified type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) that have occurred within red-sequence selected galaxy clusters. We compare…
