Detection of disk-jet co-precession in a tidal disruption event

Yanan Wang, Zikun Lin, Linhui Wu +46

Theories and simulations predict that intense spacetime curvature near black holes bends the trajectories of light and matter, driving disk and jet precession under relativistic to…

Astrophysical Implications of Eccentricity in Gravitational Waves from Neutron Star-Black Hole Binaries

Isobel Romero-Shaw, Jakob Stegmann, Gonzalo Morras +2

The gravitational-wave signal from the neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger GW200105 is consistent with this binary having significant orbital eccentricity close to merger. This r…

Gravitational-wave Observations Suggest Most Black Hole Mergers Form in Triples

Jakob Stegmann, Fabio Antonini, Aleksandra Olejak +4

The spin-orbit tilt angles of merging stellar-mass black holes provide key insights into their astrophysical origin. Non-parametric population modelling of The LIGO, Vir…

The Type Ia Supernova 2021hem: A 2003fg-like Event in an Apparently Hostless Environment

Subhash Bose, M. D. Stritzinger, A. Malmgaard +25

We report observations of Type Ia SN 2021hem, located in an apparently hostless environment. With a peak absolute B-band magnitude of -19.96 mag, and a lack of secondary maximum in…

Aql X-1 from dawn 'til dusk: the early rise, fast state transition and decay of its 2024 outburst

A. Marino, F. Coti Zelati, K. Alabarta +36

Transient Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) are usually first detected by all-sky X-ray monitors when they enter new outbursts, typically at X-ray luminosities above 10…

Physical properties of long-rising type II supernovae -- Bayesian analytic modeling and spectrophotometric correlations

S. P. Cosentino, C. Inserra, M. L. Pumo

Supernova (SN) 1987A, with its long-rising (40 days) light curve, defines a rare subclass of type II SNe known as 1987A-like events. Representing only 1-3 percent of all c…

Infrared observations reveal the reprocessing envelope in the tidal disruption event AT 2019azh

Thomas M. Reynolds, Lars Thomsen, Seppo Mattila +14

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are expected to release much of their energy in the far-ultraviolet (UV), which we do not observe directly. However, infrared (IR) observations can o…

A Multi-wavelength Characterization of the 2023 Outburst of MAXI J1807+132: Manifestations of Disk Instability and Jet Emission

Sandeep K. Rout, M. Cristina Baglio, Andrew Hughes +19

Several phenomenological aspects of low-luminosity neutron star transients, such as atolls, remain poorly understood. One such source, MAXI J1807+132, entered its latest outburst i…

SN 2024bfu, SN 2025qe, and the early light curves of type Iax supernovae

M. R. Magee, T. L. Killestein, M. Pursiainen +39

Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are one of the most common subclasses of thermonuclear supernova and yet their sample size, particularly those observed shortly after explosion, remai…

The Type I Superluminous Supernova Catalogue II: Spectroscopic Evolution in the Photospheric Phase, Velocity Measurements, and Constraints on Diversity

Aysha Aamer, Matt Nicholl, Sebastian Gomez +29

Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are among the most energetic explosions in the universe, reaching luminosities up to 100 times greater than those of normal supernova…

Possible binary neutron star merger history of the primary of GW230529

Parthapratim Mahapatra, Debatri Chattopadhyay, Anuradha Gupta +4

Black holes (BHs) with masses between , produced by a binary neutron star (BNS) merger, can further pair up with a neutron star or BH and merge again within a Hu…

Identifying intermediate mass binary black hole mergers in AGN disks using LISA

Poulami Dutta Roy, Parthapratim Mahapatra, Anuradha Samajdar +1

We show that Laser Interferometer Space Antenna can uniquely identify the sites of intermediate-mass binary black hole (IMBBH) mergers if they occur in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN)…

Gravitational wave inference of star cluster properties from intermediate-mass black hole mergers

Konstantinos Kritos, Luca Reali, Ken K. Y. Ng +2

Next-generation ground-based gravitational wave observatories will observe mergers of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) out to high redshift. Such IMBHs can form through runawa…
