Gravitational Waves and Time Domain Astronomy [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011 The gravitational wave window onto the universe will open in roughly five years, when Advanced LIGO and Virgo achieve the first detections of high frequency gravitational waves, most likely coming from compact binary mergers. Electromagnetic follow-up of

A Data Science Platform to Enable Time-domain Astronomy
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 SkyPortal is an open-source software package designed to discover interesting transients efficiently, manage follow-up, perform characterization, and visualize the results. By enabling fast access to archival and catalog data, crossmatching heterogeneous

A Survey of Big Data Archives in Time-Domain Astronomy
Applied Sciences, 2022 The rise of big data has resulted in the proliferation of numerous heterogeneous data stores. Even though multiple models are used for integrating these data, combining such huge amounts of data into a single model remains challenging. There is a need in

Gamma-Ray Astrophysics in the Time Domain
Galaxies, 2019 The last few years have seen gamma-ray astronomy maturing and advancing in the field of time-domain astronomy, utilizing source variability on timescales over many orders of magnitudes, from a decade down to a few minutes and shorter, depending on the ...

Is the M81 Fast Radio Burst Host Globular Cluster Special?
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We use multiband archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations to measure the photometric and structural parameters of the M81 globular cluster (GC) that hosts the fast radio burst FRB 20200120E. Our best-fitting King model has an effective radius r

Evidence for Multiple Shocks from the γ-Ray Emission of RS Ophiuchi
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In 2021 August, the Fermi Large Area Telescope, H.E.S.S., and MAGIC detected GeV and TeV γ -ray emission from an outburst of recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi. This detection represents the first very high-energy γ -rays observed from a nova, and it opens a new

Quasar Black Hole Mass Estimates in the Era of Time Domain Astronomy [PDF]
, 2013 We investigate the dependence of the normalization of the high-frequency part of the X-ray and optical power spectral densities (PSD) on black hole mass for a sample of 39 active galactic nuclei (AGN) with black hole masses estimated from reverberation ...
