ATClean: A Novel Method for Detecting Low-Luminosity Transients and Application to Pre-explosion Counterparts from SN 2023ixf

S. Rest, A. Rest, C. D. Kilpatrick +16

In an effort to search for faint sources of emission over arbitrary timescales, we present a novel method for analyzing forced photometry light curves in difference imaging from op…
