Roman CCS White Paper: Characterizing Superluminous Supernovae with Roman
Sebastian Gomez, Kate Alexander, Edo Berger +16
Type-I Superluminous Supernovae (SLSNe) are an exotic class of core-collapse SN (CCSN) that can be up to 100 times brighter and more slowly-evolving than normal CCSNe. SLSNe repres…
The Most Luminous Known Fast Blue Optical Transient AT 2024wpp: Unprecedented Evolution and Properties in the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared
Natalie LeBaron, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +45
We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic ultraviolet-optical-infrared campaign on the luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) AT 2024wpp over the first ~100 d. AT…
A Mildly Relativistic Outflow Launched Two Years after Disruption in the Tidal Disruption Event AT2018hyz
Yvette Cendes, Edo Berger, Kate Alexander +9
We present late-time radio/millimeter (as well as optical/UV and X-ray) detections of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2018hyz, spanning d after optical discovery. I…
The Jet Opening Angle and Event Rate Distributions of Short Gamma-ray Bursts from Late-time X-ray Afterglows
Alicia Rouco Escorial, Wen-fai Fong, Edo Berger +14
We present a comprehensive study of 29 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed days post-burst using and . We provide the inferred distributi…
4th TDAMM Workshop White Paper
Daniel Kocevski, Raffaella Margutti, Michael Coughlin +46
Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (TDAMM) is entering a new era in which the rate and diversity of transient discoveries will grow rapidly across electromagnetic, gravit…
Triple radio flares from tidal disruption events: jet-wind collisions and the discovery of a third radio flare from AT2020vwl
Andrew Mummery, Adelle Goodwin, Colin Christy +2
Radio flares from tidal disruption events (TDEs) are observed on two distinct timescales: prompt (around the time of optical peak) and delayed (hundreds to thousands of days after…
