abstract
Technology has advanced to the point that it is possible to image the entire sky every night and process the data in real time. The sky is hardly static: many interesting phenomena occur, including variable stationary objects such as stars or QSOs, transient stationary objects such as supernovae or M dwarf flares, and moving objects such as asteroids and the stars themselves. Funded by NASA, we have designed and built a sky survey system for the purpose of finding dangerous near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). This system, the "Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System" (ATLAS), has been optimized to produce the best survey capability per unit cost, and therefore is an efficient and competitive system for finding potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) but also for tracking variables and finding transients. While carrying out its NASA mission, ATLAS now discovers more bright ($m < 19$) supernovae candidates than any ground based survey, frequently detecting very young explosions due to its 2 day cadence. ATLAS discovered the afterglow of a gamma-ray burst independent of the high energy trigger and has released a variable star catalogue of 5$\times10^{6}$ sources. This, the first of a series of articles describing ATLAS, is devoted to the design and performance of the ATLAS system. Subsequent articles will describe in more detail the software, the survey strategy, ATLAS-derived NEA population statistics, transient detections, and the first data release of variable stars and transient lightcurves.

JWST nebular spectra detect cooling ~400 K carbonaceous dust emission in normal SN Ia 2023qov at +276 and +363 days, modeled as pre-existing circumstellar dust with mass ~10^{-4} M_sun located within ~1 light year.
Spatially resolved spectroscopy shows SDSS1335+0728 has a three-zone ionisation structure, optically thin dust, and sustained low-level nuclear activity for at least 1500 years, implying the Ansky event is a faint transient in an already accreting low-mass SMBH.
JWST/NIRSpec data on SN 2024uj reveal complex He I emission overlapping central Ca and O, plus CO and dust, favoring a thermonuclear origin from low-mass white dwarfs.
A hierarchical Bayesian approach with multivariate Gaussian population prior reduces bias in demographic inference of SN Ia power-law rise parameters compared to individual fitting.
A new method infers inhomogeneities and asymmetries in high-energy transients from their radio synchrotron self-absorption spectra and demonstrates it on SN 2016coi and AT2018cow.
Detection of a 0.1802-day periodic signal in TESS photometry of slow-rising nova PGIR22akgylf interpreted as orbital modulation from binary distortion of the envelope during common-envelope interaction.
A W-Net deep learning model detects asteroids in TESS data independently of trajectory by rotating training image cubes and using adaptive normalization for data scaling.
First VLTI-GRAVITY near-infrared observations of blazars indicate possible detection of unresolved or partially resolved jet emission in Ton 599, though data cannot distinguish extended structure from instrumental coherence loss.
J1105+1452 transitioned to a megahertz peaked-spectrum source with a new compact jet of radius ~0.68 pc, apparent velocity ~0.64c, and Doppler factor ~12, while X-ray emission stayed disk-corona dominated.
Spectroscopic observations of six low-mass, metal-poor SLSN host galaxies reveal slow stellar-wind-driven outflows with velocities 37-104 km/s and mass-loading factors below 1 in the earliest phases of star formation.
A changing-look AGN exhibits a rapid accretion-driven spectral transition with broad-line region temperatures of approximately 11,800 K measured via Boltzmann plots and stable black hole mass estimates of 5 times 10 to the 7 solar masses across epochs.
Two new short-period asynchronous magnetic cataclysmic variables were found, one candidate at the period minimum with spin-to-orbit ratio 0.9879 and an eclipsing system with ratio 0.867, supporting magnetic synchronization predictions.
457P shows dust activity without detectable H2O, CO, CO2, or CH3OH, with Q(H2O) < 2e24 molecules/s, indicating it may be more volatile-depleted than other main-belt comets.
The superluminous Type Ia supernova SN 2022erq was powered by ejecta crashing into a ~3-solar-mass circumstellar shell, implying the progenitor's mass-loss rate escalated from ~0.04 to ~0.6 solar masses per year in its final decades.
SN 2020bij and four other Type IIP SNe with slow-rising light curves and high velocities are modeled with weak to no CSM interaction, suggesting a new subclass linked to confined CSM.
JWST spectra of SN 2022acko reveal CO masses of 1.55e-4 and 2.47e-4 solar masses, IME velocities ~300 km/s vs ~100 km/s for H/He/IGEs suggesting bipolar outflow, and substantially less molecule formation than higher-mass Type II SNe.
SPH simulations of zero-energy partial TDEs find fallback ~t^{-9/4}, optical luminosities 10^{42-44} erg/s at 10^4 K and radii 10-100 au, indicating many detected TDEs may be partial rather than full.
Multi-band photometry and Monte Carlo modeling of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS yield a dust size distribution with power-law index -3.5 and a phase curve showing opposition surge of 0.1-0.4 mag distinct from Solar System comets.
Dim interstellar asteroids typically reach detectable brightness only when moving fast across the sky, while bright or cometary objects are detectable at slower speeds, implying surveys may miss a large fraction of the dim population.
Multi-epoch spectroscopy of 33 ECLEs shows coronal lines emitted at intermediate radii with log(distance)-log(black hole mass) slopes of 0.63 and 0.69 for [O III] and [Fe VII], consistent with photoionization setting the radii.
SN 2024abfl is a subluminous Type IIP event from a low-energy Fe-core collapse of a compact 9–10 M⊙ progenitor with only ~0.003 M⊙ of nickel.
Attentive Neural Processes outperform Gaussian Processes and neural networks on light curve interpolation quality, feature recovery, calibration, and speed for 15 transient classes under realistic Rubin cadences.
The paper proposes a statistical test for asteroid surface color heterogeneity from sparse multiband photometry and evaluates its performance and sensitivity to model errors through Monte Carlo simulations of synthetic asteroids.
