Photometry-only classification of SNe Ia and Ibc reaches >=90% accuracy by fitting a semi-analytical decay model to light curves and using GMMs on the resulting parameter distributions to estimate mixing fractions without any labeled training data.

SCAT DR1 delivers 1810 spectra of 1330 transients with classifications, fitted light curves, new redshifts for many host galaxies, and host properties as a testbed for photometric classification pipelines.
slicersim is a modular Python tool that simulates IFS observations including noise and instrumental effects, demonstrating that the Lazuli Space Observatory could observe 8000 SNe Ia (z=0–1.5) at S/N=25 per resolution element in 1.5 years of on-sky time.
ORACLE-2 multimodal classifiers raise macro F1 from 0.52-0.66 (light-curve only) to 0.73 on ZTF Bright Transient Survey data and reach 0.88 on simulated ELAsTiCC data.
First blind optical identification of a z=0.153 sub-luminous GRB afterglow with Ic-BL SN, yielding a volumetric rate consistent with on-axis high-luminosity long GRBs.
Multi-wavelength monitoring of nearby SNe Ic-BL adds new constraints on the fraction with relativistic jets comparable to SN 1998bw and flags candidates for choked jets and CSM-driven radio emission.
Theoretical predictions for local BBH merger rates exceed observations by a factor >10 under conservative SFRD and metallicity assumptions, indicating need for revisions in stellar evolution.
