SN 2024cld: unveiling the complex mass-loss histories of evolved supergiant progenitors to core collapse supernovae
T. L. Killestein, M. Pursiainen, R. Kotak +52
Pre-explosion mass loss in supernova (SN) progenitors is a crucial unknown factor in stellar evolution, yet has been illuminated recently by the diverse zoo of interacting transien…
GOTO065054+593624: a 8.5 mag amplitude dwarf nova identified in real time via Kilonova Seekers
T. L. Killestein, G. Ramsay, M. Kennedy +62
Dwarf novae are astrophysical laboratories for probing the nature of accretion, binary mass transfer, and binary evolution -- yet their diverse observational characteristics contin…
SN 2023tsz: A helium-interaction driven supernova in a very low-mass galaxy
B. Warwick, J. Lyman, M. Pursiainen +49
SN 2023tsz is a Type Ibn supernova (SNe Ibn) discovered in an extremely low-mass host. SNe Ibn are an uncommon subtype of stripped-envelope core-collapse SNe. They are characterise…
: the GOTO project for real-time citizen science in time-domain astrophysics
T. L. Killestein, L. Kelsey, E. Wickens +51
Time-domain astrophysics continues to grow rapidly, with the inception of new surveys drastically increasing data volumes. Democratised, distributed approaches to training sets for…
