Telescope programs
Programs I lead as Principal Investigator, plus the facilities where I contribute as a co-investigator through the DLT40, SHADOW, PASSTA, AZTEC, SAGUARO, GSP and REFITT collaborations.
JWST & HST
JWST Cycle 5 GO-11424 (PI, 7.6 h): resolving the
host galaxy of AT 2021lwx and testing SMBH–host scaling relations for
extreme nuclear transients.
HST Cycle 32 GO-17748 (PI, 3 orbits): observations of
AT 2021lwx.
Co-investigator on JWST programs watching dust form in real time in two very nearby
core-collapse supernovae (GO-7881, GO-12572) and on NIR+MIR spectroscopy of the
broad-lined Type Ic SN 2024abup (DD-06803). 20.8 h of JWST time
across three programs.
Keck, Gemini, Magellan, MMT, Bok
Keck and Gemini (PI): searching for
late-time circumstellar-interaction and dust-formation signatures in normal
core-collapse supernovae.
Magellan and MMT (PI, 2026B and 2025B):
follow-up of electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational-wave events in O4 and
O4-IR1.
Bok/90Prime (PI, 15 nights): a ZTF pilot for early transient
science ahead of LSST, and pre-surveys laying groundwork for ULTRASAT.
DECam, SOAR & LCO
SHADOW on CTIO/DECam (77.1 nights, 2025B–2028A):
shadowing LSST to find the youngest transients in the nearby universe.
PASSTA on SOAR (60 nights): the public AEON spectroscopic
survey for transient astronomy.
More than 100 nights on Las Cumbres Observatory through the Global
Supernova Project and REFITT programs.
