Conventional algorithms for rejecting cosmic-rays in single CCD exposures rely on the contrast between cosmic-rays and their surroundings, and may produce erroneous results if the Point Spread Function (PSF) is smaller than the largest cosmic-rays. This paper describes a robust algorithm for cosmic-ray rejection, based on a variation of Laplacian edge detection. The algorithm identifies cosmic-rays of arbitrary shapes and sizes by the sharpness of their edges, and reliably discriminates between poorly sampled point sources and cosmic-rays. Examples of its performance are given for spectroscopic and imaging data, including HST WFPC2 images.

  1. Mitigating Charge Migration in JWST NIRISS Reveals That KELT-7 b is a Metal-enriched Ultra-hot Jupiter Orbiting a Young Metal-rich Star

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Correcting NIRISS charge migration reveals KELT-7 b as a metal-enriched (~92x solar) ultra-hot Jupiter with H2O, CO2 and TiO but no H- or clouds, orbiting a young metal-rich star.

  2. A Multi-Wavelength View of the First Type Ic-BL Supernova with an Einstein Probe X-ray Shock Breakout

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    First definitive X-ray shock breakout from a Type Ic-BL supernova, with radio constraints and a rate calculation implying most such supernovae produce fainter signals than observed here.

  3. Scattering from Dusty Outflows in Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies with Blue Excess Emission

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Polarization of five hot, dust-obscured quasars confirms their blue excess is scattered AGN light, and the wavelength trend in one object requires graphite-dominated dust in a polar outflow.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    DR20 releases over three million BOSS spectra (first southern-hemisphere SDSS-V optical data), 169 LVM integral-field tiles over six targets, and eighteen value-added catalogs.

  5. First planetesimals from DESI DR1: 12 highly metal-rich white dwarfs

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Twelve white dwarfs from DESI DR1 have accreted debris resembling inner-Solar-System rock, with two systems likely accreting water-rich planetesimals.

  6. Multi-wavelength Constraints on the Transient EP250905a

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    EP250905a is best explained as a mildly off-axis structured-jet afterglow at z=2.714, possibly weakly magnified by a foreground galaxy at z=0.374.

  7. Multi-year Ground-Based Survey Photometry of Active Comet 103P/Hartley 2 and Centaur (2060) Chiron: A Tale of Two Comets in the Pre-LSST Era

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.

  8. Optical observations of candidate host galaxies of eight fast X-ray transients

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Optical imaging and BAGPIPES SED fitting of eight FXTs yields candidate hosts consistent with WD-IMBH TDEs or BNS mergers for most events, with one reclassified as a Galactic flare and evidence for diverse origins.
