Abstract

The Steward Alerts for Science System (SASSy) supports transient science by ingesting alerts from various sources. Cross-referencing using Q3C spatial indexing is enabled on most database tables allowing astronomers to explore the data in a variety of ways. SassyCron, a layered application, is a specific targeted search to find promising early supernovae candidates and request spectra from telescopes available to Steward Observatory science staff.
