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…
An Extremely Luminous Flare Recorded from a Supermassive Black Hole
Matthew J. Graham, Barry McKernan, K. E. Saavik Ford +17
Since their discovery more than 60 years ago, accreting supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) were recognized as highly variable sources, requiring an extremely…
DELVE Milky Way Satellite Galaxy Census I: Satellite Population and Survey Selection Function in DES, DELVE, and Pan-STARRS
C. Y. Tan, A. Drlica-Wagner, A. B. Pace +84
The properties of Milky Way satellite galaxies have important implications for galaxy formation, reionization, and the fundamental physics of dark matter. However, the population o…
A second-generation star in a relic dwarf galaxy
Anirudh Chiti, Vinicius M. Placco, Andrew B. Pace +22
Stars that contain only trace amounts of elements heavier than helium, referred to as having low "metallicity", preserve the chemical fingerprints of the first generation of stars…
An outer-disk SX Phe variable star in Rubin Data Preview 1
Jeffrey L. Carlin, Peter S. Ferguson, A. Katherina Vivas +2
We report the discovery of an SX Phoenicis-type pulsating variable star via 217 epochs of time-series photometry from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Data Preview 1. The star, desi…
Pluto Geologic Map: Use of Crater Data to Understand Age Relationships
Kelsi N. Singer, Oliver L. White, Sarah Greenstreet +3
Pluto's surface displays a wide variety of geologic units from smooth plains to extremely rugged mountainous expanses. These terrains range in age from young, actively resurfaced r…
Inferring CSM Properties of Type II SNe Using a Magnitude-Limited ZTF Sample
K-Ryan Hinds, Daniel Perley, Jesper Sollerman +20
Although all Type II supernovae (SNe) originate from massive stars possessing a hydrogen-rich envelope, their light curve morphology is diverse, reflecting poorly characterised het…
Time Evolution of Mg II in SDSS J2320+0024: Implications for a Subparsec Binary Supermassive Black Hole System
Marta Fatović, Dragana Ilić, Andjelka B. Kovačević +8
Here we present results from our spectroscopic follow-up of SDSS J2320+0024, a candidate binary supermassive black hole (SMBH) with a suspected sub-pc separation, identified by a 2…
A General Quantum Duality for Representations of Groups with Applications to Quantum Money, Lightning, and Fire
John Bostanci, Barak Nehoran, Mark Zhandry
Aaronson, Atia, and Susskind (2020) established that efficiently mapping between quantum states and is computationally equivalent to distinguishing their su…
A cosmic formation site of silicon and sulphur revealed by a new type of supernova explosion
Steve Schulze, Avishay Gal-Yam, Luc Dessart +47
The cores of stars are the cosmic furnaces where light elements are fused into heavier nuclei. The fusion of hydrogen to helium initially powers all stars. The ashes of the fusion…
Sample of hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility
P. J. Pessi, R. Lunnan, J. Sollerman +26
Hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSNe II) are rare. The exact mechanism producing their extreme light curve peaks is not understood. Analysis of single events and small sam…
The Discovery and Evolution of a Possible New Epoch of Cometary Activity by the Centaur (2060) Chiron
Matthew M. Dobson, Megan E. Schwamb, Alan Fitzsimmons +24
Centaurs are small Solar System objects on chaotic orbits in the giant planet region, forming an evolutionary continuum with the Kuiper belt objects and Jupiter-family comets. Some…
Validation of the Bond et al. (2010) SDSS-derived kinematic models for the Milky Way's disk and halo stars with Gaia Data Release 3 proper motion and radial velocity data
Bruno Domínguez, Siddharth Chaini, Karlo Mrakovčić +2
We validate the Bond et al. (2010) kinematic models for the Milky Way's disk and halo stars with Gaia Data Release 3 data. Bond et al. constructed models for stellar velocity distr…
The Active Optics System on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: Optimal Control of Degeneracy Among the Large Number of Degrees of Freedom
Guillem Megias Homar, Steven M. Kahn, Joshua M. Meyers +2
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a unique facility for survey astronomy that will soon be commissioned and begin operations. Crucial to many of its scientific goals is the achievem…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: Study of Type Ia Supernova lightcurve fits
M. Rigault, M. Smith, N. Regnault +34
Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology relies on the estimation of lightcurve parameters to derive precision distances that leads to the estimation of cosmological parameters. The emp…
Probabilistic Forward Modeling of Galaxy Catalogs with Normalizing Flows
John Franklin Crenshaw, J. Bryce Kalmbach, Alexander Gagliano +5
Evaluating the accuracy and calibration of the redshift posteriors produced by photometric redshift (photo-z) estimators is vital for enabling precision cosmology and extragalactic…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: Environmental dependencies of stretch and luminosity of a volume limited sample of 1,000 Type Ia Supernovae
