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…

ABYSS. IV. Identifying signatures of stellar youth in APOGEE spectra

Valentina Bonilla Villalobos, Marina Kounkel, Joseph Mullen +9

We develop a convolutional neural network classifier that performs spectroscopic identification of stellar youth (<40 Myr) in APOGEE spectra. This classifier is sensitive to severa…

AT 2016blu: Accretion-Powered Outbursts in a Luminous Blue Variable and Compact Object Binary

Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Núria Torres-Albà, Nathan Smith +33

We present the first X-ray detection of the supernova (SN) impostor AT 2016blu in NGC 4559. AT 2016blu exhibited 27 detected quasiperiodic (~113 day) outbursts between 2012 and Jun…

The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper

SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273

This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy…

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 Age of the R127 & R128 Clusters: Implications for the LBV

Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Jeremiah W. Murphy, Nathan Smith +1

We infer the age of the R127 and R128 clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using Strömgren photometry from the literature and the age-dating algorithm, Stellar Ages. Analys…
