Nearby Supernova Science in the Era of High Cadence, Deep Time Domain Surveys
David J. Sand, Bhagya Subrayan, Conor L. Ransome +41
We discuss science opportunities for nearby supernovae (SNe) in the era of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), emphasizing the youngest phases o…
First Results from the LSST Shadow Survey: The Restless Luminous Blue Variable AT2017des in the Virgo-Cluster Galaxy, NGC4532
Conor L. Ransome, Bhagya M. Subrayan, David J. Sand +66
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will start in late-summer 2026, revolutionizing transient astronomy. Here, we present the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) Shadow Survey, which…
The Most Luminous Known Fast Blue Optical Transient AT 2024wpp: Unprecedented Evolution and Properties in the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared
Natalie LeBaron, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +45
We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic ultraviolet-optical-infrared campaign on the luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) AT 2024wpp over the first ~100 d. AT…
Anomaly Detection and Approximate Similarity Searches of Transients in Real-time Data Streams
P. D. Aleo, A. W. Engel, G. Narayan +29
We present LAISS (Lightcurve Anomaly Identification and Similarity Search), an automated pipeline to detect anomalous astrophysical transients in real-time data streams. We deploy…
Optical Rebrightening of Extragalactic Transients from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Monika Soraisam, Thomas Matheson, Chien-Hsiu Lee +11
Ongoing large-scale optical time-domain surveys, such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), are producing alerts at unprecedented rates. Analysis of transient sources has so far…
Discovery of a ~30-Year-Duration Post-Nova Pulsating Supersoft Source in the Large Magellanic Cloud
G. Vasilopoulos, F. Koliopanos, T. E. Woods +3
Supersoft X-ray sources (SSS) have been identified as white dwarfs accreting from binary companions and undergoing nuclear-burning of the accreted material on their surface. Althou…
A multi-wavelength approach to classifying transient events in the direction of M31
Monika D. Soraisam, Marat Gilfanov, Thomas Kupfer +4
(abridged) In the hunt for rare time-domain events, confusing exotic extragalactic phenomena with more common Galactic foreground events is an important consideration. We show how…
