Photometric classification and out-of-taxonomy detection of ZTF transients with FLARE

Argyro Sasli, Felipe Fontinele Nunes, Xuanrui Zhang +17

Photometric classifiers decide which of the million nightly alerts of time-domain surveys receive one of the few thousand spectra taken each year, and they are the first place wher…

Correcting for Evidence Uncertainty in the Templated Background Search for the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background

Xiao-Xiao Kou, Argyro Sasli, Muhammed Saleem +1

We report a new source of systematic bias in the Bayesian Templated Background Search (TBS) for the astrophysical stochastic gravitational-wave background. This bias arises from th…

Follow-up of SN 2025wny II: Superluminous Supernova Physics at Cosmic Noon

Maggie L. Li, Lin Yan, Anamaria Gkini +46

SN 2025wny is a gravitationally lensed, hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at z = 2.015. To date, it is the most extensively observed high-redshift core-collapse SN and…

Learned proposals in trans-dimensional inference are optimal at equilibrium, not during assembly

Argyro Sasli, Nikolaos Karnesis, Minas Karamanis +5

Inferring the dimension of a model - the number of components needed to explain data - jointly with the parameters is a pervasive problem, from counting sources in an image to mixt…

Catching Disguised Transients with ASTRANet: Anomaly-Aware Spectroscopic Classification and Conformal Calibration

Argyro Sasli, Maojie Xu, Alexandra Junell +21

Time-domain surveys discover thousands of transients per year, but the spectroscopic identification of rare and physically peculiar objects remains rate-limited by closed-set class…

Constraints on Late-Time Flaring from Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the Zwicky Transient Facility

Rahul Jayaraman, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Michael M. Fausnaugh +14

The Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT) AT2022tsd exhibited minutes-timescale optical flares in the tens of days following the initial transient event, likely due to a cen…

Toward decision-aware AI for LSST-scale time-domain astronomy

C. R. Bom, A. Mahabal, F. Bianco +27

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will generate approximately (10^7) alerts per night, pushing time-domain astronomy beyond pipelines that trea…

Early Multiwavelength Observations of AT 2026fgk: The Luminous Afterglow to Sub-luminous GRB 260310A, Identified Independently of a Gamma-ray Trigger

K. -R. Hinds, A. Y. Q. Ho, Y. Wagh +103

The origins of sub-luminous (\,erg\,s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with broad-lined Type~Ic supernovae (Ic-BL SNe) are poorly u…

EMBER: Machine-Learning Detection of Modulated Ion Acoustic Waves and Associated Core-Electron Heating in the Solar Wind with Parker Solar Probe

Argyro Sasli, Karish Seebaluck, Chris Colpitts +1

Modulated ion acoustic waves (IAWs) -- including triggered ion acoustic waves (TIAWs) and frequency-dispersed ion acoustic waves (FDIAWs) -- are increasingly recognized as efficien…

Long GRB 250916A: an Off-axis Powerlaw Jet with Thermal Cocoon

Utkarsh Pathak, Sameer K. Patil, Hitesh Tanenia +22

Some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit precursor emission episodes preceding the main emission, with a quiescent period in between. The properties of the precursor emission and the d…

Beyond Gaussian Assumptions: A new robust statistical framework for gravitational-wave data analysis

Argyro Sasli, Minas Karamanis, Nikolaos Karnesis +4

Many traditional algorithms applied in gravitational-wave astronomy rely on the assumption of Gaussian noise, a condition not always met. To meet this need, this study extends a ro…
