Automatically distinguishing Rubin transients from AGN using variability metrics
Dylan Magill, Matt Nicholl, Philip Wiseman +7
Stochastic variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) can produce contaminants in the search for explosive extragalactic transients (such as supernovae and tidal disruption events…

Testing and Combining Transient Spectral Classification Tools on 4MOST-like Blended Spectra
Andrew Milligan, Isobel Hook, Christopher Frohmaier +15
With the 4-meter Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) expected to provide an influx of transient spectra when it begins observations in early 2026 we consider the potential…

ZTF-observed late-time signals of pre-ZTF transients
Jacco H. Terwel, Kate Maguire, Jesper Sollerman +6
With large-scale surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), it has become possible to obtain a well-sampled light curve spanning the full length of the survey for any dis…
