Quick Project Updates

Ongoing projects

Review of how we are doing

• Overall discovery rates
• How have things changed since we switched to TDEScore as our prime scanning tool?
• Infant TDEs
• Dwarf galaxy TDEs
• Ongoing follow-up programs in need of triggers (e.g., HST/Chandra/etc.)

Plans for past datasets

• It has been a long time since the last sample papers
• What can we do to publish legacy datasets:

1. Imaging
2. Spectra
3. Host galaxies

Future Directions

• Start of LSST-- how does it affect things? Can we be doing more?
• What new follow-up resources should we try to acquire? (AO, UV, etc.)
• When LS4 starts, how will that affect operations of this SWG
• What are the DZA research interests?
