The Deeper, Wider, Faster programme's first DECam optical data release

James Freeburn, Jeff Cooke, Anais Möller +17

The transient and variable optical sky is relatively poorly characterised on fast (1hr) timescales. With the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), the Deeper, Wider, Faster programme…

An extremely fast fading population II dwarf nova candidate: caught spectroscopically on the rise

Natasha Van Bemmel, Jielai Zhang, Jeff Cooke +14

We present AT2022kak, a rapidly evolving optical transient discovered by the KiloNova and Transients Program (KNTraP). This interesting burst exhibited extremely fast evolution, wi…

A Machine Learning empowered search for Sub-Minute Optical Transient Events with the Deeper, Wider, Faster programme

Simon R. Goode, Sara A. Webb, Jeff Cooke +12

Optical transient surveys continue to generate increasingly large datasets, prompting the introduction of machine-learning algorithms to search for quality transient candidates eff…

A follow-up strategy enabling discovery of electromagnetic counterparts to highly-magnified gravitationally-lensed gravitational waves

Dan Ryczanowski, Jeff Cooke, James Freeburn +6

Making an unambiguous detection of lensed gravitational waves is challenging with current generation detectors due to large uncertainties in sky localisations and other inferred pa…

An Optically Led Search for Kilonovae to z0.3 with the Kilonova and Transients Program (KNTraP)

Natasha Van Bemmel, Jielai Zhang, Jeff Cooke +15

Compact binary mergers detectable in gravitational waves can be accompanied by a kilonova, an electromagnetic transient powered by radioactive decay of newly synthesised r-process…

GRB220831A: a hostless, intermediate Gamma-ray burst with an unusual optical afterglow

James Freeburn, Brendan O'Connor, Jeff Cooke +20

GRB220831A is a gamma-ray burst (GRB) with a duration and spectral peak energy that places it at the interface between the distribution of long-soft and short-hard GRBs. In thi…
