GRB 260310A/SN 2026fgk: Photometric and Spectroscopic Evolution of a Nearby GRB-Supernova and an Exceptionally Bright Afterglow at z=0.153
Brendan O'Connor, Malte Busmann, Xander J. Hall +24
The association of broad-lined Type Ic supernovae with long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been known for 28 years. However, only about seventy gamma-ray burst supernovae (GR…
EP260321a/SN 2026gzf: The Faintest Shock Breakout Associated with a Broad-Lined Supernova
Brendan O'Connor, Xander J. Hall, Malte Busmann +33
The explosion of a star is first marked by the shock wave breaking out of the stellar surface, producing a burst of ultraviolet and X-ray radiation. These events are observationall…
Taming Additive Systematics via Redshift-Bin-Optimized Star-Galaxy Separation
Noah Weaverdyck, David Schlegel, Anand Raichoor +1
Contamination from stars in the galaxy samples of large-scale structure surveys can bias cosmological constraints if not tightly controlled. This is especially true for lens sample…
Testing CDM versus dynamical dark energy in one year: A DESI spectroscopic follow-up program for Rubin supernovae
Jannik Truong, Greg Aldering, Saul Perlmutter +2
Combined cosmological probes currently indicate that best-fit values in the parametrization of dynamical dark energy deviate from CDM by . In this work, we pre…
ODIN: Spectroscopic Validation of Ly-Emitting Galaxy Samples with DESI
Ethan Pinarski, Govind Ramgopal, Nicole Firestone +65
The One-hundred-deg^2 DECam Imaging in Narrowbands (ODIN) survey is conducting the widest-field deep narrow-band imaging of the equatorial and southern skies. ODIN uses three custo…
The Carousel Lens II: Cosmological Constraints with GIGA-Lens
Felipe Urcelay, Xiaosheng Huang, William Sheu +28
The nature of dark matter and dark energy are among the central questions in cosmology. Strong gravitational lenses with multiple source planes provide a geometric probe of cosmolo…
A Path to an All-Sky Survey with Roman
Jiwon Jesse Han, Anirudh Chiti, Kai-Feng Chen +93
A deep, space-based, all-sky near-infrared survey carried out with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would constitute a foundational astronomical infrastructure for decades to…
A Novel Lensed Point Source Modeling Pipeline using GIGA-Lens with Application to SN Zwicky and SN iPTF16geu
Saul Baltasar, Nicolas Ratier-Werbin, Xiaosheng Huang +5
We introduce a novel modeling pipeline for strongly lensed point sources, using the GIGA-Lens framework, running on four A100 GPUs via the JAX platform. Using simulations, we demon…
DESI Strong Lens Foundry V: A Sample of HST-Observed Strong Lenses Modeled with GIGA-Lens
Xiaosheng Huang, David Alvarez-Garcia, Monica Ubeda +13
We present six galaxy-scale strong lenses with HST imaging modeled using GIGA-Lens. This is Paper V of the DESI Strong Lens Foundry series. These systems were discovered in the DES…
The Binary Fraction of Stars in the Dwarf Galaxy Ursa Minor via Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
Tian Qiu, Wenting Wang, Sergey Koposov +45
We utilize multi-epoch line-of-sight velocity measurements from the Milky Way Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to estimate the binary fraction for member stars in…
