AT2024wpp: An Extremely Luminous Fast Ultraviolet Transient Powered by Accretion onto a Black Hole
Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Zoë McGrath +69
We present the discovery of AT 2024wpp ("Whippet"), a fast and luminous 18cow-like transient. At a redshift of z=0.0868, revealed by Keck Cosmic Web Imager spectroscopy of its fain…
TDE 2025abcr: A Tidal Disruption Event in the Outskirts of a Massive Galaxy
Robert Stein, Jonathan Carney, Charlotte Ward +27
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) have traditionally been discovered in optical sky surveys through targeted searches of nuclear transients. However, it is expected that some TDEs wil…
Kilonova constraints for the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA neutron star merger candidate S250206dm: GW-MMADS observations
Lei Hu, Tomás Cabrera, Antonella Palmese +35
Gravitational wave (GW) neutron star mergers with an associated electromagnetic counterpart constitute powerful probes of binary evolution, the production sites of heavy elements,…
Late-time JWST/NIRCam Observations of the Extremely Long-duration GRB 250702B/EP 250702a and Its Host Galaxy
Huei Sears, Jean J. Somalwar, Ryan Chornock +22
We present JWST/NIRCam observations of the extremely long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 250702B taken at ~ 95 days post-GRB (observer frame). The observations of the host galaxy r…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
EP250108a/SN 2025kg: A Jet-Driven Stellar Explosion Interacting With Circumstellar Material
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Hamid Hamidani, Genevieve Schroeder +28
We present optical, radio, and X-ray observations of EP250108a/SN 2025kg, a broad-line Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-BL) accompanying an Einstein Probe (EP) fast X-ray transient (FXT) a…
