MUSSES2020J: The Earliest Discovery of a Fast Blue Ultraluminous Transient at Redshift 1.063
Ji-an Jiang, Naoki Yasuda, Keiichi Maeda +22
In this Letter, we report the discovery of an ultraluminous fast-evolving transient in rest-frame UV wavelengths, MUSSES2020J, soon after its occurrence by using the Hyper Suprime-…
Sifting Through the Static: Moving Object Detection in Difference Images
Hayden Smotherman, Andrew J. Connolly, J. Bryce Kalmbach +6
Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) provide a window into the history of the Solar System, but they can be challenging to observe due to their distance from the Sun and relatively low b…
