The Optical Luminosity-Time Correlation for More Than 100 Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
M. G. Dainotti, S. Livermore, D. A. Kann +7
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are fascinating events due to their panchromatic nature. Their afterglow emission is observed from sub-TeV energies to radio wavelengths. We investigate GRB…
Discovery of Thermonuclear Type-I X-ray Bursts from the X-ray binary MAXI J1807+132
A. C. Albayati, D. Altamirano, G. K. Jaisawal +13
MAXI J1807+132 is a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) first detected in outburst in 2017. Observations during the 2017 outburst did not allow for an unambiguous identification of the na…
Optimizing Serendipitous Detections of Kilonovae: Cadence and Filter Selection
Mouza Almualla, Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin +9
The rise of multi-messenger astronomy has brought with it the need to exploit all available data streams and learn more about the astrophysical objects that fall within its breadth…
Discovery of a Fast Iron Low-ionization Outflow in the Early Evolution of the Nearby Tidal Disruption Event AT2019qiz

We report the results of ultraviolet (UV) and optical photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2019qiz. Our follow-up observations started 10…
From core collapse to superluminous: The rates of massive stellar explosions from the Palomar Transient Factory
C. Frohmaier, C. R. Angus, M. Vincenzi +8
We present measurements of the local core collapse supernova (SN) rate using SN discoveries from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We use a Monte Carlo simulation of hundreds of…
Significant Suppression of Star Formation in Radio-Quiet AGN Host Galaxies with Kiloparsec-Scale Radio Structures
Krista Lynne Smith, Michael Koss, Richard Mushotzky +4
We conducted 22~GHz 1" JVLA imaging of 100 radio-quiet X-ray selected AGN from the Swift-BAT survey. We find AGN-driven kiloparsec-scale radio structures inconsistent with pure sta…
TDE Hosts are Green and Centrally Concentrated: Signatures of a Post-Merger System
Erica Hammerstein, Suvi Gezari, Sjoert van Velzen +17
We study the properties of the galaxies hosting the first 19 tidal disruption events (TDEs) detected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) within the context of a carefully cons…
Golden galactic binaries for LISA: mass-transferring white dwarf black hole binaries
Laura Sberna, Alexandre Toubiana, M. Coleman Miller
We study the evolution and gravitational wave emission of white dwarf -- black hole accreting binaries with a semi-analytical model. These systems will evolve across the mHz gravit…
Integral-Field Spectroscopy of Fast Outflows in Dwarf Galaxies with AGN
Weizhe Liu, Sylvain Veilleux, Gabriela Canalizo +4
Feedback likely plays a vital role in the formation of dwarf galaxies. While stellar processes have long been considered the main source of feedback, recent studies have revealed t…

Sara Frederick, Suvi Gezari, Matthew J. Graham +17
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) has discovered five new events belonging to an emerging class of AGN undergoing smooth flares with large amplitudes and rapid rise times. This s…
Switchbacks as signatures of magnetic flux ropes generated by interchange reconnection in the corona
