A Real-Time Jet Laboratory in Swift J1727.8-1613

Callan M. Wood, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Arash Bahramian +16

We present the results of our intensive VLBI campaign on the black-hole low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) Swift J1727.8-1613 during its 2023-2024 outburst. We observed the repeated quen…

Statistical treatment of searches for counterparts of positionally-uncertain astrophysical sources: from flux upper limits to detection

Julian Sitarek, Abelardo Moralejo, Juan Jiménez Quiles +3

The paper compares frequentist, Bayesian, and agnostic statistical methods for analyzing follow‑up observations of poorly localized astrophysical alerts, such as gravitational‑wave…

Kilometre-scale Jovian moon characterized for a potential JUICE flyby

Juan Luis Rizos, Jose Maria Gomez-Limon, Yucel Kilic +51

The paper presents new observations of Jupiter’s irregular moon Kallichore, using Hubble, ground‑based telescopes and stellar occultations to refine its orbit, size, shape and surf…

Radio Follow-Up of Einstein Probe Fast X-Ray Transients

Carmen Choza, Joe S. Bright, Francesco Carotenuto +3

The paper reports a coordinated radio observing campaign of 20 fast X‑ray transients discovered by the Einstein Probe, detecting radio counterparts for two events and showing that…

Constraints on the VHE counterpart of two binary black hole mergers observed by the MAGIC and CTAO LST-1 telescopes

K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +439

We present very-high-energy gamma-ray observations of two binary black hole merger candidates, GW240615_113620 and GW241125_010116, performed with the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imagi…

Euclid: Inferring star-formation history via cross-correlations of photometric clustering and shear with the cosmic infrared background

J. Han, S. Camera, M. Migliaccio +146

The cosmic infrared background, sourced by dust heated by star-forming activity, encodes the integrated history of the star-formation distribution over a large swathe of cosmic tim…
