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…
Probing Millisecond Optical Timescales with Continuous-Readout Mode Observations from ZTF
Shar Daniels, Federica Bianco, Igor Andreoni +6
The subminute-timescale phase space is an underexplored regime of the optical sky. Sub-second optical observations are difficult to accomplish with traditional CCD exposure-readout…
How Low Can We Go? Minimum Spectroscopic Requirements For Supernova Subtype Classification
Willow Fox Fortino, Federica B. Bianco, Maryam Modjaz +2
Millions of supernovae will be discovered with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). As a result, spectrographs around the world will have to make d…
The Rubin Observatory Target-of-Opportunity System in the First Year of Operations
Sean Patrick MacBride, R. Lynne Jones, Peter Yoachim +41
The NSF/DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a discovery machine, with unprecedented survey speed, which can be used to identify exotic astrophysical transients. In its prime mission,…
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…
Multi-filter UV to NIR Data-driven Light Curve Templates for Stripped Envelope Supernovae
Somayeh Khakpash, Federica B. Bianco, Maryam Modjaz +4
While the spectroscopic classification scheme for Stripped envelope supernovae (SESNe) is clear, and we know that they originate from massive stars that lost some or all their enve…
Every Datapoint Counts: Stellar Flares as a Case Study of Atmosphere Aided Studies of Transients in the LSST Era
Riley W. Clarke, James R. A. Davenport, John Gizis +8
Due to their short timescale, stellar flares are a challenging target for the most modern synoptic sky surveys. The upcoming Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), a…
SpectAcLE: An Improved Method for Modeling Light Echo Spectra
Roee Partoush, Armin Rest, Jacob E. Jencson +17
Light echoes give us a unique perspective on the nature of supernovae and non-terminal stellar explosions. Spectroscopy of light echoes can reveal details on the kinematics of the…
Light-echoes from the plateau in Eta Carinae's Great Eruption reveal a two-stage shock-powered event
Nathan Smith, Jennifer E. Andrews, Armin Rest +7
We present multi-epoch photometry and spectroscopy of a light echo from eta Carinae's 19th century Great Eruption. This echo shows a steady decline over a decade, sampling the 1850…
Stripped-envelope supernova rates and host-galaxy properties
Or Graur, Federica B. Bianco, Maryam Modjaz +4
The progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe Ibc) remain to be conclsuively identified, but correlations between SN rates and host-galaxy properties can constrain progenito…
Multi-color Optical and NIR Light Curves of 64 Stripped-Envelope Core-Collapse Supernovae
F. B. Bianco, M. Modjaz, M. Hicken +6
We present a densely-sampled, homogeneous set of light curves of 64 low redshift (z < 0.05) stripped-envelope supernovae (SN of type IIb, Ib, Ic and Ic-bl). These data were obtaine…
Light Echoes of Historic Transients
A. Rest, B. Sinnott, D. L. Welch +2
Light echoes, light from a variable source scattered off dust, have been observed for over a century. The recent discovery of light echoes around centuries-old supernovae in the Mi…
