Can we constrain the binary neutron star merger time from kilonova light curves?

Noah Jamsin, Marion Pillas, Marko Ristić +18

The joint observation of gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger (GW170817), together with a short Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB 170817A) and a kilonova (KN, AT201…

ZTF25abjmnps (AT2025ulz) and S250818k: A Candidate Superkilonova from a Sub-threshold Sub-Solar Gravitational Wave Trigger

Mansi M. Kasliwal, Tomas Ahumada, Robert Stein +61

On August 18, 2025, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration reported gravitational waves from a sub-threshold binary neutron star merger. If astrophysical, this event would have a surpr…

IIb or not IIb: A Catalog of ZTF Kilonova Imposters

Tyler Barna, Christoffer Fremling, Tomas Ahumada +12

Among the various classes of fast optical transients (FOTs), kilonovae (KNe), which can emerge as a result of neutron star mergers, are extremely challenging to observe because of…

Low-latency Forecasts of Kilonova Light Curves for Rubin and ZTF

Natalya Plestkova, Niharika Sravan, R. Weizmann Kiendrebeogo +11

Follow-up of gravitational-wave events by wide-field surveys is a crucial tool for the discovery of electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave sources, such as kilonovae. M…

LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA neutron star merger candidate S250206dm: Zwicky Transient Facility observations

Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Mattia Bulla +49

We present the searches conducted with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in response to S250206dm, a bona fide event with a false alarm rate of one in 25 years, detected by the I…

Building Machine Learning Challenges for Anomaly Detection in Science

Elizabeth G. Campolongo, Yuan-Tang Chou, Ekaterina Govorkova +148

Scientific discoveries are often made by finding a pattern or object that was not predicted by the known rules of science. Oftentimes, these anomalous events or objects that do not…
