From Sky to Science: Time Domain Astronomy with the ILMT Survey

Kuntal Misra, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +10

The PyLMT transient detection pipeline has been operational since November 2023 and has detected 10,000 transients and variable objects in ILMT images in near real time. The…

Modelling the Point Spread Function of ILMT images

Naveen Dukiya, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11

We have devised an approach to model the empirical Point Spread Function (PSF) of the images taken with the 4-meter International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT). The characteristic…

SN 2024afyu interpreted as a Pair Instability Supernova

P. J. Pessi, S. Barmentloo, Ł. Wyrzykowski +63

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are the predicted explosions of very massive stars triggered by electron-positron pair production. Numerous transients have been proposed as PIS…

SN 2024dy: Dust formation in a long-lived Type IIn supernova and constraints on the dust mass

Sota Goto, Masayuki Yamanaka, Koji S. Kawabata +10

Type~IIn supernovae (SNe) are a subclass of core-collapse SNe powered by interaction between the ejecta and the dense circumstellar material. Among them, long-lived Type~IIn events…
