Prevalent elongated galaxies in the early Universe evidenced by stellar kinematics
Bitao Wang, Yingjie Peng, Hua Gao
The Universe is now extensively populated by discy galaxies with coherent galaxy-wise stellar rotation. This disc prevalence has been deemed a late-time phenomenon because the pene…
AT 2024ahzi: A Type IIP Supernova Discovered by the LSST Commissioning Camera
Kaylee de Soto, V. Ashley Villar, Jared A. Goldberg +25
As part of its commissioning, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory observed several fields repeatedly for a month with ComCam, an instrument that uses the same hardware as the LSST camera…
Characterising the Standardisation Properties of Type Ia Supernovae in the z band with Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling
Erin E. Hayes, Suhail Dhawan, Kaisey S. Mandel +21
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are standardisable candles: their peak magnitudes can be corrected for correlations between light curve properties and their luminosities to precisely e…
A Large-Scale Search for Photometrically Variable AGNs in Dwarf Galaxies Using the Young Supernova Experiment
Alexander Messick, Vivienne Baldassare, David O. Jones +12
We conduct an analysis of over 60,000 dwarf galaxies (7<=log(M_*/M_\odot)<=10) in search of photometric variability indicative of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Using data from the…
UNIONS: The Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey
Stephen Gwyn, Alan W. McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +86
The Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS) is a "collaboration of collaborations" that is using the Canada-France-Hawai'i Telescope, the Pan-STARRS telescopes,…
