Search For a Counterpart to the Subsolar Mass Gravitational Wave Candidate S251112cm
Nicholas Vieira, Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan +49
The recent candidate gravitational-wave (GW) alert from a compact object merger involving at least one subsolar mass (SSM) object has prompted questions about their origins. S25111…
You Only Stack Once (YOSO): A Motion-Filtered, Deep-Learning Framework for Detecting Faint Moving Sources
Nitya Pandey, César Fuentes, Pedro Bernardinelli +15
We present You Only Stack Once (YOSO), an automated pipeline designed to detect faint, slow-moving Solar System objects in wide-field astronomical surveys. The pipeline integrates…
The Solar System Notification Alert Processing System (SNAPS): Public access to SNAPS data and products
David E. Trilling, Michael Gowanlock, Revanth Munugala +5
The Solar System Notification Alert Processing System, SNAPS, is a downstream broker that ingests moving object data from ZTF and LSST and serves these data and derived properties…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario JuriÄ +305
We report on the observation and measurement of astrometry, photometry, morphology, and activityof the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) with the NSF-…
Optimizing Kilonova Searches: A Case Study of the Type IIb SN 2025ulz in the Localization Volume of the Low-Significance Gravitational Wave Event S250818k
Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan, Charles D. Kilpatrick +54
Kilonovae, the ultraviolet/optical/infrared counterparts to binary neutron star mergers, are an exceptionally rare class of transients. Optical follow-up campaigns are plagued by c…
An Efficient Shift-and-Stack Algorithm Applied to Detection Catalogs
Steven Stetzler, Mario JuriÄ, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +22
The boundary of solar system object discovery lies in detecting its faintest members. However, their discovery in detection catalogs from imaging surveys is fundamentally limited b…
