Detection of persistent helium absorption in the 91bg-like type Ia Supernova 2022an

Ping Chen, Avishay Gal-Yam, Subo Dong +14

We present optical and near-infrared observations of the fast-declining Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2022an. The photometric and spectroscopic properties identify it as a standard 91b…

Can wormhole spacetimes in Unimodular Gravity be supported by ordinary matter? A general proof of the exotic matter requirement

Mauricio Cataldo, Norman Cruz, Patricio Salgado

We establish a general no--go theorem demonstrating that all traversable wormhole configurations in Unimodular Gravity necessarily require exotic matter. The proof relies solely on…

Holographic Weyl Anomaly and Kounterterms in AdS gravity

Giorgos Anastasiou, Jahaira Bonifacio-Chavez, Olivera Miskovic +1

The addition of Kounterterms to Einstein gravity leads to a finite action for asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spaces with a conformally flat boundary. In that sense, it provide…

The extremely low-luminosity Type Iax SNe 2022ywf and 2023zgx

Barnabás Barna, Dominik Bánhidi, Tamás Szalai +25

We present the optical follow-up of SNe 2022ywf and 2023zgx, two examples from the Iax subclass of thermonuclear supernova (SN) events. With peak absolute magnitudes of $M_\mathrm{…

The nearby He-rich superluminous supernova SN 2021bnw during photospheric phases

A. Fiore, A. Kozyreva, L. Yan +40

Aim. We present and interpret the data of the nearby hydrogen-deficient but helium-rich superluminous supernova SN 2021bnw which reached a magnitude of -20.7 at maximum luminosity…

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…
