Alerts and results from Swift-BAT GUANO data and the NITRATES analysis

In 2019 the Gamma-ray Urgent Archiver for Novel Opportunities (GUANO) was implemented, allowing for time-tagged event data for the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) to be saved on command around times of interest. This allows for more sensitive analyses to be performed on the ground. The most sensitive being, the...

Einstein probe: searching the Universe for cosmic variable objects and transient phenomena shining in X-ray light

The Einstein Probe (EP) is a mission of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in collaboration with ESA, MPE and CNES dedicated to time-domain high-energy astrophysics. Its primary goals are to discover high-energy transients and monitor variable objects. To achieve this, EP...

The Large Area Telescope (LAT), on board the NASA Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has various properties that make it a great instrument for time-domain astronomy. These include its large field of view (> 2 steradians), its all-sky-survey mode of taking observations and its large energy range (100 MeV - >1 TeV). In this talk, I will discuss the various tools and platforms that Fermi-LAT...

Multimessenger astrophysics recently provided groundbreaking results, in many cases involving transient sources. The study of this type of objects can be challenging, especially from an observational point of view. In particular, in the electromagnetic domain, the very-high-energy gamma-ray band (E>~100 GeV) can provide vital information on the sources themselves and their environment. In this...

TESS Transient Light Curve Patrol
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a space telescope mission developed by NASA with the goal of detecting exoplanets. Over the duration of it's mission, TESS has trained its wide-field imaging array on dozens of sky sectors, and identified thousands of candidate targets. Our team has developed a a subtraction pipeline for these full frame...

Data products, public access, and survey optimization for the Argus Array

The Argus Array will be a 900-telescope optical survey instrument with a combined collecting area equivalent to a 5-meter telescope and an 8000 sq. deg simultaneous field of view, currently slated for first light in 2027. Operating at depths comparable to those of the deepest active sky surveys, Argus will capture a...

The detection of SN burst neutrinos from a nearby/Galactic core-collapse supernova (SN) can provide an early warning to the multi-messenger astronomy community. As the world’s largest water-Cherenkov detector, Super-Kamiokande (SK) maintains an independent SN alert system, “SNWatch”, and also contributes to SNEWS. Recent upgrades to the SK detector and SNWatch have increased the capabilities...

The Supernova Early Warning System (SNEWS) is a network of neutrino and dark matter detectors which aims to detect coincident neutrino signals in multiple detectors and alert the worldwide observer community. It has been in automated operation since 2005, but is now undergoing a significant upgrade with goals including increasing sensitivity for both neutrino bursts as well as pre-supernova...
