TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the observations and automated data movement, data reduction, candidate discovery, and vetting pipeline of their target-of-opportunity DECam observations of S190426c, the first possible neutron star--black hole merger detected via gravitational waves.

TL;DR: For example, Walker et al. as discussed by the authors used the SALT 2.4 supernova light-curve fitter to analyze the data and presented the light curves for the first 31 Type Ia supernovae obtained in the survey.

TL;DR: Oguri et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a simple algorithm for identifying gravitationally lensed SN Ia candidates in cadenced, wide-field optical imaging surveys, which is to look for supernovae that appear to be hosted by elliptical galaxies, but that have absolute magnitudes implied by the apparent hosts' photometric redshifts that are far brighter than the relative magnitudes of normal SNe Ia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) pre-explosion observations of a sample of 27 nearby Type IIb supernovae (SNe) to look for such precursors during the final years prior to the SN explosion.

TL;DR: The Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2000cx was one of the most peculiar transients ever discovered, with a rise to maximum brightness typical of a SN Ia, but a slower decline and a higher photospheric temperature as discussed by the authors.
