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…
FRB Line-of-sight Ionization Measurement From Lightcone AAOmega Mapping Survey: the First Data Release
Yuxin Huang, Sunil Simha, Ilya Khrykin +12
This paper presents the first public data release (DR1) of the FRB Line-of-sight Ionization Measurement From Lightcone AAOmega Mapping (FLIMFLAM) Survey, a wide field spectroscopic…
A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…
The Deeper, Wider, Faster Program: Exploring stellar flare activity with deep, fast cadenced DECam imaging via machine learning
Sara Webb, Chris Flynn, Jeff Cooke +9
We present our 500 pc distance-limited study of stellar fares using the Dark Energy Camera as part of the Deeper, Wider, Faster Program. The data was collected via continuous 20-se…
