The flash-ionised SN Ibn 2025kzr: H-free CSM formed during a precursor outburst 55 days prior to explosion
S. de Wet, G. Leloudas, D. A. H. Buckley +33
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a class of interacting SNe characterised by narrow helium lines in their spectra. We present an extensive observational dataset of the Type Ibn SN 202…
ATLAS100 -- I. A volume-limited sample of supernovae and related transients within 100 Mpc
Shubham Srivastav, Stephen J. Smartt, Thomas Moore +29
We present ATLAS100 -- a sample of 1729 supernovae and other explosive optical transients within Mpc observed by the ATLAS survey over a span of 5.75 years from 2017 Sep…
BGRem: A background noise remover for astronomical images based on a diffusion model
Rodney Nicolaas, Sascha Caron, Fiorenzo Stoppa +4
Context: Astronomical imaging aims to maximize signal capture while minimizing noise. Enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio directly on detectors is difficult and expensive, leading…
SNID-SAGE: A Modern Framework for Interactive Supernova Classification and Spectral Analysis
Fiorenzo Stoppa, Stephen J. Smartt
We present SNID-SAGE (SuperNova IDentification-Spectral Analysis and Guided Exploration), a framework for supernova spectral classification with both a fully interactive graphical…
The BlackGEM telescope array I: Overview
Paul J. Groot, S. Bloemen, P. Vreeswijk +75
The main science aim of the BlackGEM array is to detect optical counterparts to gravitational wave mergers. Additionally, the array will perform a set of synoptic surveys to detect…
