Towards a foundation model for astrophysical source detection: An End-to-End Gamma-Ray Data Analysis Pipeline Using Deep Learning
Judit Pérez-Romero, Saptashwa Bhattacharyya, Sascha Caron +9
The increasing volume of gamma-ray data demands new analysis approaches that can handle large-scale datasets while providing robustness for source detection. We present a Deep Lear…
A Faint Progenitor System for the Faint Supernova 2024vjm
Erez A. Zimmerman, Avishay Gal-Yam, Paul J. Groot +68
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are well known for their role as standardizable cosmological candles. Their uniformity is credited to their single origin as thermonuclear explosions of…
A catalog to unite them all: REGALADE, a revised galaxy compilation for the advanced detector era
Hugo Tranin, Nadejda Blagorodnova, Marco A. Gómez-Muñoz +10
Many applications in transient science, gravitational wave follow-up, and galaxy population studies require all-sky galaxy catalogs with reliable distances, extents, and stellar ma…
Pan-STARRS follow-up of the gravitational-wave event S250818k and the lightcurve of SN 2025ulz
J. H. Gillanders, M. E. Huber, M. Nicholl +30
Kilonovae are the scientifically rich, but observationally elusive, optical transient phenomena associated with compact binary mergers. Only a handful of events have been discovere…
Textual interpretation of transient image classifications from large language models
Fiorenzo Stoppa, Turan Bulmus, Steven Bloemen +4
Modern astronomical surveys deliver immense volumes of transient detections, yet distinguishing real astrophysical signals (for example, explosive events) from bogus imaging artefa…
Two waves of massive stars running away from the young cluster R136
Mitchel Stoop, Alex de Koter, Lex Kaper +10
Massive stars are predominantly born in stellar associations or clusters. Their radiation fields, stellar winds, and supernovae strongly impact their local environment. In the firs…
