HiTS: The High Cadence Transient Survey (ATELs #5949, #5956) reports the discovery of 4 possible supernova explosions detected using a novel real-time high-cadence image subtraction / classification pipeline developed at the Center for Mathematical Modelling (CMM) in collaboration with the Millennium Institute for Astrophysics (MAS). Observations were performed on the 4m Blanco Telescope at Cerro Tololo (CTIO) from 2015-02-16 to 2015-02-18 with a cadence of 1.6 hours using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). The data analysis was performed in real-time using the National Laboratory for High Performance Computing (NLHPC).
