A Long Period Stellar-Mass Black Hole Binary in Centauri
Matthew Whitaker, Evan Kerr, Anil Seth +16
Modern simulations of stellar dynamics in globular clusters peg a dominant role for stellar-mass black holes, but direct evidence for black holes in clusters remains limited. We pr…
Flux Cube Reconstruction from Slitless Spectroscopy
M. Griggio, R. E. Ryan, N. Pirzkal +19
Slitless spectroscopy enables efficient, large-area surveys without target pre-selection, yet it faces challenges from source blending, higher noise, and lost spatial-spectral info…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- Internal kinematics and the convective-transition gap of NGC 6397

We present a 'multiple-pass' data-reduction tool designed for Euclid, based on software developed for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which improves the astrometric and photometr…
Hubble Astrometry for the Local Group and Beyond in the 2030s
S. Tony Sohn, Paul Bennet, Kevin Andrew McKinnon +23
Hubble's long, stable astrometric baseline creates a rare opportunity for discovery in the Local Group and beyond. Many nearby galaxies, streams, and star clusters already have arc…
A spectroscopically confirmed, strongly lensed, metal-poor Type II supernova at z = 5.13
David A. Coulter, Conor Larison, Justin D. R. Pierel +88
Observing supernovae (SNe) in the early Universe (z > 3) provides a window into how both galaxies and individual stars have evolved over cosmic time, yet a detailed study of high-r…
Expanding the High-z Supernova Frontier: "Wide-Area" JWST Discoveries from the First Two Years of COSMOS-Web
Ori D. Fox, Armin Rest, Justin D. R. Pierel +48
Transient astronomy in the early Universe (z > 2) remains largely unexplored, lying beyond the rest-frame optical spectroscopic reach of most current observatories. Yet this regime…
