Tawny Sit studies exploding stars (supernovae) and stellar explosions using large sky-survey data, particularly from the Zwicky Transient Facility, to understand how different types of supernovae form, how much material they lose before exploding, and how often various types occur. This work connects to broader questions about how chemical elements (like silicon, sulfur, and heavier 'r-process' elements) are created and distributed throughout galaxies, including our own Milky Way.
Publication output was minimal before 2022 but has grown substantially since, peaking around 2024 with a high and fairly steady rate of output through 2025.
