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.
Hierarchical Bayesian inference allows accurate recovery of intrinsic astrophysical source populations even when follow-up selection is unknown and correlated with parameters of interest.
The DECam Shadow Survey has detected variable LBV eruptions in AT2017des with peaks brightening by ~0.05 mag per year, reaching luminosities similar to extreme SN impostors.
Early LSST data recovers known ultracool dwarfs and yields 89 candidates with 17 unique to this work, forecasting over 17,000 detections in Data Preview 2 using synthetic populations.
Non-explosive DWD mergers leaving NS remnants produce optical transients detectable by LSST out to 30-820 Mpc with rates 10²-10⁶ yr⁻¹ depending on log D, though survey cadence restricts reliable detections to log D = 36-40 within 240-760 Mpc at rates 10⁴-10⁵ yr⁻¹.
Including radiative losses in analytic models of high-redshift radio galaxies reduces predicted radio and X-ray luminosities compared to models that neglect them.
Reports asymmetric heliocentric activity slopes for 103P/Hartley 2 and exponential outburst decay plus flattening phase curves for Chiron from ATLAS, ZTF, and LCO photometry.
Analysis of eight 2021 outbursts on comet 7P/Pons-Winnecke using ground-based photometry yields ejecta masses of 10^5-10^6 kg and normalized rates comparable to several other comets but discrepant with 67P spacecraft data.
Pilot verification using Rubin early alerts confirms 32 of 40 RR Lyrae candidates from prior catalogs as real while identifying 20% non-RR Lyrae contaminants including AGN and eclipsing binaries.
Lazuli is proposed as a space observatory combining flagship sensitivity with response times one to two orders of magnitude faster than current large facilities to enable new time-domain and multi-messenger science.
PATH is extended with three fitted P(m_r|z) prior models combined with P(z|DM), raising host-association confidence for ASKAP FRBs while showing fainter-than-expected host magnitude distribution.
Proposes foundation models and decision-theoretic policies to manage evolving source representations and optimize follow-up resource allocation in LSST-scale time-domain astronomy.
MUST is a new 6.5 m telescope designed to deliver simultaneous optical spectra for over 20,000 targets across a 5 deg² field, enabling the largest 3D spectroscopic map of the Universe with redshifts for more than 100 million objects over an 8-year survey.
Photometric metallicities from DECam identify 213 Jet stream candidates and detect fanning in the stream morphology.
Non-detection of TDE in IC230724A; LSST could constrain TDE fraction of neutrino background to ≲60% or ≳30% with 10 events.
Simulations predict very limited transiting exoplanet confirmations from LSST due to observing cadence constraints, with only a few possible in DDF for hot planets on M dwarfs.
