SN Ares: A Strongly Lensed Type IIb Supernova at with a Predicted 70-Year Time Delay

Conor Larison, Justin D. R. Pierel, Matthew Siebert +69

We present the discovery of supernova (SN) Ares, a strongly lensed supernova at in a massive, triply imaged host galaxy behind the MACS J0308.9+2645 ga…

First Results from the LSST Shadow Survey: The Restless Luminous Blue Variable AT2017des in the Virgo-Cluster Galaxy, NGC4532

Conor L. Ransome, Bhagya M. Subrayan, David J. Sand +66

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will start in late-summer 2026, revolutionizing transient astronomy. Here, we present the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) Shadow Survey, which…

Late-time JWST/NIRCam Observations of the Extremely Long-duration GRB 250702B/EP 250702a and Its Host Galaxy

Huei Sears, Jean J. Somalwar, Ryan Chornock +22

We present JWST/NIRCam observations of the extremely long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 250702B taken at ~ 95 days post-GRB (observer frame). The observations of the host galaxy r…

SN 2022riv in RX J2129: Discovery, Spectroscopic Classification, and Microlensing of a Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova from JWST and HST Observations

Birendra Dhanasingham, Patrick L. Kelly, Wenlei Chen +27

The multiply imaged SN 2022riv was discovered through a search of galaxy cluster fields as part of a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) SNAP program to find highly magnified stars. The s…

A near field guide to Roman's wide-area surveys

Robyn E. Sanderson, Kevin A. McKinnon, Adrien C. R. Thob +7

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope currently plans to survey nearly 6000 square degrees of the sky, mainly in the High-Latitude Wide-Area Survey (HLWAS) and Galactic Plane Surve…

The Most Luminous Known Fast Blue Optical Transient AT 2024wpp: Unprecedented Evolution and Properties in the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared

Natalie LeBaron, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +45

We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic ultraviolet-optical-infrared campaign on the luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) AT 2024wpp over the first ~100 d. AT…

Extreme magnification of a star at redshift 1.5 by a galaxy-cluster lens

Patrick L. Kelly, Jose M. Diego, Steven Rodney +42

Galaxy-cluster gravitational lenses can magnify background galaxies by a total factor of up to ~50. Here we report an image of an individual star at redshift z=1.49 (dubbed "MACS J…

Illuminating a Dark Lens : A Type Ia Supernova Magnified by the Frontier Fields Galaxy Cluster Abell 2744

Steven A. Rodney, Brandon Patel, Daniel Scolnic +27

SN HFF14Tom is a Type Ia Supernova (SN) discovered at z = 1.3457 +- 0.0001 behind the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.308). In a cosmology-independent analysis, we find that HFF14…
