Other Research
In addition to my work on supernovae, TDEs, and software, I have been involved with research on a wide range of topics through my involvement with ASAS-SN and my work as an observer. These topics include studies of optical counterparts to gravitational wave and neutrino sources (multi-messenger studies), changing-look active galactic nuclei (AGNs), young stellar objects, M-dwarf and L-dwarf flares, variable stars, low-mass X-ray binaries, reverberation mapping of AGNs, and other variable and transient events.
Selected additional research papers are described and linked below. For a full list of publications please see my my ADS library or my CV.
Lead-Author Papers
Discovery and Observations of ASASSN-13db, an EX Lupi-type Accretion Event on a Low-mass T Tauri Star
Holoien, T. W.-S. et al., ApJ, 785L, 35 (2014)
This was my first lead-author paper, and discussed the discovery of a new EX Lupi-type (EXor) accretion event, which has continued for years after discovery.
