(Shortened)Context: We analyze the optical variability of the FSRQ Ton 599 using BVRI photometry from the WEBT collaboration (2011-2023), complemented by photometric and spectrosco…
Discovery and Analysis of Afterglows from Poorly Localised GRBs with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) All-sky Survey
Amit Kumar, B. P. Gompertz, B. Schneider +86
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), particularly those detected by wide-field instruments such as the Fermi/GBM, pose a challenge for optical follow-up due to their large initial localisation…
SN 2024hpj: A perspective on SN 2009ip-like events
I. Salmaso, A. Pastorello, E. Borsato +25
Supernovae (SNe) IIn are terminal explosions of massive stars that are surrounded by a dense circumstellar medium (CSM). Among SNe IIn, a notable subset is the SN 2009ip-like, whic…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: High-velocity components in the Si II 6355

The ZTF SN Ia Data Release 2 provides a perfect opportunity to perform a thorough search for, and subsequent analysis of, high-velocity components in the Si II 6355 feature in t…
Time-dependent modelling of short-term variability in the TeV-blazar VER J0521+211 during the major flare in 2020
MAGIC Collaboration, S. Abe, J. Abhir +228
The BL Lacertae object VER J0521+211 underwent a notable flaring episode in February 2020. A short-term monitoring campaign, led by the MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Chere…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: Properties of the low-mass host galaxies of Type Ia supernovae in a volume-limited sample
U. Burgaz, K. Maguire, G. Dimitriadis +25
In this study, we explore the characteristics of `low-mass' () and `intermediate-mass' () host galaxies o…
On the diversity of strongly-interacting Type IIn supernovae
I. Salmaso, E. Cappellaro, L. Tartaglia +29
Massive stars experience strong mass-loss, producing a dense, H-rich circumstellar medium (CSM). After the explosion, the collision and continued interaction of the supernova (SN)…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: The diversity and relative rates of the thermonuclear SN population
G. Dimitriadis, U. Burgaz, M. Deckers +28
The Zwicky Transient Facility SN Ia Data Release 2 (ZTF SN Ia DR2) contains more than 3,000 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), providing the largest homogeneous low-redshift sample of SN…
Distance estimation of gamma-ray emitting BL Lac objects from imaging observations
K. Nilsson, V. Fallah Ramazani, E. Lindfors +13
Direct redshift determination of BL Lac objects is highly challenging as the emission in the optical and near-infrared (NIR) bands is largely dominated by the non-thermal emission…
