DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Connor Stone (University of Toronto)\nThe Vera C. Ru
 bin observatory is the premier optical transient facility on sky today. Ma
 ny transient sources are point sources embedded in a host galaxy. This nec
 essitates the subtraction of that host's light before examining the bright
 ness over time\, light curve\, of the transient. Standard practice is to s
 tack images from before the transient to then subtract and reveal the chan
 ging light curve. While this is fast and fairly reliable\, it is provably 
 sub-optimal compared to fully forward modelling the scene and transient si
 multaneously. Here we present an AstroPhot model in JAX that does just thi
 s to extract reliable and physically realistic light curves. I will discus
 s the progress so far and tests to compare with difference imaging.\n\nhtt
