AT2025agpz in Rubin commissioning data: distinguishing a luminous interacting supernova from nuclear transients in compact galaxies
C. R. Angus, M. Quilt, H. F. Stevance +37
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time will discover unprecedented numbers of rare, long-lived optical transients, many of which will be too faint or too n…
ATLAS100 -- I. A volume-limited sample of supernovae and related transients within 100 Mpc
Shubham Srivastav, Stephen J. Smartt, Thomas Moore +29
We present ATLAS100 -- a sample of 1729 supernovae and other explosive optical transients within Mpc observed by the ATLAS survey over a span of 5.75 years from 2017 Sep…
AT2024lhc and AT2024kmq in the landscape of featureless tidal disruption events
Yuhan Yao, Ryan Chornock, Andrew Mummery +39
We study AT2024kmq and AT2024lhc, two tidal disruption events (TDEs) with blue featureless spectra associated with high-mass black holes (). Both even…
Attention-Based Preprocessing Framework for Improving Rare Transient Classification
Xinyue Sheng, Tuan Dung Pham, Zichi Zhang +2
With large numbers of transients discovered by current and future imaging surveys, machine learning is increasingly applied to light curve and host galaxy properties to select even…
MALLORN: Many Artificial LSST Lightcurves based on Observations of Real Nuclear transients
Dylan Magill, Matt Nicholl, Vysakh Anilkumar +10
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's 10-Year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to produce a hundredfold increase in the number of transients we observe. However, there…
The La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey
Adam A. Miller, Natasha S. Abrams, Greg Aldering +75
We present the La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey (LS4), a new wide-field, time-domain survey to be conducted with the 1 m ESO Schmidt telescope. The 268 megapixel LS4 camera mosaics…
