Astro2020 Science White Paper: Discovery Frontiers of Explosive Transients - An ELT & LSST Perspective
Melissa L. Graham, Danny Milisavljevic, Armin Rest +17
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will open a discovery frontier for faint and fast transients with its ability to detect variable flux components down to 24.5 mag i…
Gravity and Light: Combining Gravitational Wave and Electromagnetic Observations in the 2020s
R. J. Foley, K. D. Alexander, I. Andreoni +110
As of today, we have directly detected exactly one source in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, the binary neutron star merger GW170817, its associa…
Models and Simulations for the Photometric LSST Astronomical Time Series Classification Challenge (PLAsTiCC)
R. Kessler, G. Narayan, A. Avelino +26
We describe the simulated data sample for the "Photometric LSST Astronomical Time Series Classification Challenge" (PLAsTiCC), a publicly available challenge to classify transient…
Constraining Type Iax Supernova Progenitor Systems with Stellar Population Aging
Tyler Takaro, Ryan J. Foley, Curtis McCully +6
Type Iax supernovae (SNe~Iax) are the most common class of peculiar SNe. While they are thought to be thermonuclear white-dwarf (WD) SNe, SNe~Iax are observationally similar to, bu…
