Rubin Observatory LSST Transients and Variable Stars Roadmap
Kelly M. Hambleton, Federica B. Bianco, Rachel Street +79
The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time holds the potential to revolutionize time domain astrophysics, reaching completely unexplored areas of the Universe and mapping va…
Optical follow-up of gravitational wave triggers with DECam during the first two LIGO/VIRGO observing runs
K. Herner, J. Annis, D. Brout +82
Gravitational wave (GW) events detectable by LIGO and Virgo have several possible progenitors, including black hole mergers, neutron star mergers, black hole--neutron star mergers,…
Deep Learning for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics: A Gateway for Discovery in the Big Data Era
Gabrielle Allen, Igor Andreoni, Etienne Bachelet +45
This report provides an overview of recent work that harnesses the Big Data Revolution and Large Scale Computing to address grand computational challenges in Multi-Messenger Astrop…
astroquery: An Astronomical Web-Querying Package in Python
Adam Ginsburg, Brigitta M. Sipőcz, C. E. Brasseur +21
astroquery is a collection of tools for requesting data from databases hosted on remote servers with interfaces exposed on the internet, including those with web pages but without…
A strategy for LSST to unveil a population of kilonovae without gravitational-wave triggers
Igor Andreoni, Shreya Anand, Federica B. Bianco +10
We present a cadence optimization strategy to unveil a large population of kilonovae using optical imaging alone. These transients are generated during binary neutron star and pote…
Presto-Color: A Photometric Survey Cadence for Explosive Physics & Fast Transients
Federica B. Bianco, Maria R. Drout, Melissa L. Graham +6
We identify minimal observing cadence requirements that enable photometric astronomical surveys to detect and recognize fast and explosive transients and fast transient features. O…
Open Astronomy Catalogs API
James Guillochon, Philip S. Cowperthwaite
We announce the public release of the application program interface (API) for the Open Astronomy Catalogs (OACs), the OACAPI. The OACs serve near-complete collections of supernova,…
How Many Kilonovae Can Be Found in Past, Present, and Future Survey Datasets?
D. Scolnic, R. Kessler, D. Brout +83
The discovery of a kilonova (KN) associated with the Advanced LIGO (aLIGO)/Virgo event GW170817 opens up new avenues of multi-messenger astrophysics. Here, using realistic simulati…
A Comprehensive Study of Detectability and Contamination in Deep Rapid Optical Searches for Gravitational Wave Counterparts
P. S. Cowperthwaite, E. Berger
The first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW) by the ground-based interferometers is expected to occur within the next few years. These interferometers will detect the mer…
