SN 2022xus: bridging the gap between Type IIP and IIL supernovae
Monalisa Dubey, Kuntal Misra, Naveen Dukiya +16
We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type~II supernova SN~2022xus. The SN reached its peak {\em V} band magnitude of mag within 7 day…
Detection and identification of asteroids with the 4-m ILMT
Sara Filali, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
The International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) covers a 22.3' wide strip of sky in declination (δ), centred at δ = +29° 21' 41.4'' and right ascension (α) in the range 0 h <=…
Astrometric Calibration of the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope Observations
Vibhore Negi, Naveen Dukiya, Gokul Singh Mehra +12
The 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) is a dedicated time domain survey telescope that continuously scans the zenithal sky over the Indian Himalayas in the g', r' an…
Transfer learning for transient search with small-field optical survey telescopes
Kumar Pranshu, Kuntal Misra, Rithesh A +2
The advent of optical sky surveys has enabled several automated programs for searching transients. Many of these programs extensively use supervised machine learning (ML) algorithm…
Performance of the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope tested in two fields at high and low ecliptic and galactic latitudes
Sara Filali, Kumar Pranshu, Jean Surdej +10
The 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) offers a unique opportunity to detect transients in a narrow strip of sky. We explore ILMT's potential to detect astrometric an…
SN 2024aecx: a fast-evolving Type IIb supernova with a prominent shock-cooling peak
Qiang Xi, Ning-Chen Sun, David Aguado +36
SN 2024aecx is a nearby (11 Mpc) Type IIb SN discovered within 1 d after explosion. In this paper we report high-cadence photometric (typically 0.51 day) and spec…
