A search for minute-time-scale flares from the transient AT\,2024wpp

Eran O. Ofek, Lior Ozer, Ruslan Konno +21

The AT 2018cow-like fast blue optical transient AT2022tsd showed a large number of few-minute-duration, high-luminosity (~10^43 erg/s) flares. We present an intensive search for su…

Asteroid collisions: expected visibility and rate

E. O. Ofek, D. Polishook, D. Kushnir +9

Asteroid collisions are one of the main processes responsible for the evolution of bodies in the main belt. Using observations of the Dimorphos impact by the DART spacecraft, we es…

UV to near-IR observations of the DART-Dimorphos collision

E. O. Ofek, D. Kushnir, D. Polishook +15

The impact of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft with Dimorphos allows us to study asteroid collision physics, including momentum transfer, the ejecta propertie…

Minutes-duration Optical Flares with Supernova Luminosities

Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Ping Chen +74

In recent years, certain luminous extragalactic optical transients have been observed to last only a few days. Their short observed duration implies a different powering mechanism…

The Large Array Survey Telescope -- Pipeline. I. Basic image reduction and visit coaddition

E. O. Ofek, Y. Shvartzvald, A. Sharon +18

The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is a wide-field telescope designed to explore the variable and transient sky with a high cadence and to be a test-bed for cost-effective tel…
