Pushing Variability Searches to Extreme Dwarf Galaxies with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Data Preview 2

Fan Zou, W. N. Brandt, Elena Gallo +15

Galaxies with stellar masses , hereafter referred to as extreme dwarf galaxies (EDGs), represent one of the least explored regimes in the search for accreting…

Identifying Changing-Look AGN Transitions in Light Curve Data with the Zwicky Transient Facility

Margaret E. Verrico, K. Decker French, Vivienne F. Baldassare +10

Changing-Look AGN (CL-AGN) are AGN which transition between Seyfert types, challenging AGN unification models. Most CL-AGN have been identified via repeat spectroscopy, making it d…

Evidence for evolving Dark Energy from a new cosmic probe

Isaque Dutra, Colin J. Burke, Priyamvada Natarajan +1

The CDM concordance cosmological model provides a remarkably successful description of the formation and evolution of structure in the Universe. However, a growing discrepancy b…

Scalable and Robust Multiband Modeling of AGN Light Curves in Rubin-LSST

Weixiang Yu, John J. Ruan, Colin J. Burke +22

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will monitor tens of millions of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) for a period of 10 years with an average caden…

Disentangling transients and their host galaxies with Scarlet2: A framework to forward model multi-epoch imaging

Charlotte Ward, Peter Melchior, Matt L. Sampson +6

Many science cases for wide-field time-domain surveys rely on accurate identification and characterization of the galaxies hosting transient and variable objects. In the era of the…

Deformation of Optics for Photon Monte Carlo Simulations

J. R. Peterson, E. Peng, C. J. Burke +2

We develop a comprehensive approach to simulate the deformation of mirrors and lenses due to thermal and mechanical stresses that couples efficiently to photon-based optics simulat…
