Teglon: A Pixel-Level Pipeline for Galaxy-Informed Gravitational-Wave Follow-up Planning and Efficiency Analysis
D. A. Coulter, P. Darc, C. D. Kilpatrick +4
We describe Teglon, an open-source database and analysis pipeline engineered to optimize the search for electromagnetic (EM) counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) sources. Teglon…
Searching for Binary Black Hole Merger Emission in AGN Disks: Optical and Spectroscopic Follow-up of S240413p
P. Darc, C. R. Bom, A. Santos +7
The conditions under which binary black hole (BBH) mergers embedded in active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks produce detectable optical counterparts remain poorly constrained observa…
Search For a Counterpart to the Subsolar Mass Gravitational Wave Candidate S251112cm
Nicholas Vieira, Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan +49
The recent candidate gravitational-wave (GW) alert from a compact object merger involving at least one subsolar mass (SSM) object has prompted questions about their origins. S25111…
AT2022zod: An Unusual Tidal Disruption Event in an Elliptical Galaxy at Redshift 0.11
Kristen C. Dage, Phelipe Darc, Thallis Pessi +16
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) have long been hypothesized as valuable indicators of black holes, offering insight into their demographics and behaviour out to high redshift. TDEs…
Symbolic Regression Is All You Need: From Simulations to Scaling Laws in Binary Neutron Star Mergers
P. Darc, Clecio R. Bom, Charles Kilpatrick +2
Gravitational wave sources with electromagnetic counterparts have highlighted the need for predictive, interpretable models linking the parameters of compact binary systems to post…
Optimizing Kilonova Searches: A Case Study of the Type IIb SN 2025ulz in the Localization Volume of the Low-Significance Gravitational Wave Event S250818k
Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan, Charles D. Kilpatrick +54
Kilonovae, the ultraviolet/optical/infrared counterparts to binary neutron star mergers, are an exceptionally rare class of transients. Optical follow-up campaigns are plagued by c…
