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…

Multiband optical variability on diverse timescales of the blazar Ton 599 from 2011 to 2023

O. Vince, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +72

(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…

Exploring the origins of high-velocity features in SNe Ia with the spectral synthesis code TARDIS

Luke Harvey, Kate Maguire, Alexander Holas +8

Appearing as secondary higher-velocity absorption components, high-velocity features (HVFs) have been observed in several absorption lines in many Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The…

Normal or transitional? The evolution and properties of two type Ia supernovae in the Virgo cluster

L. Izzo, C. Gall, N. Khetan +47

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are among the most precise cosmological distance indicators used to study the expansion history of the Universe. The vast increase of SN Ia data due to…

Eruptive mass loss less than a year before the explosion of superluminous supernovae. II. A systematic search for pre-explosion eruptions with VLT/X-shooter

A. Gkini, C. Fransson, R. Lunnan +22

We present X-shooter observations of a sample of 21 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), spanning a redshift range of z=0.13-0.95, aimed at searching for shells of cir…

EP250207b is not a collapsar fast X-ray transient. Is it due to a compact object merger?

P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan, Xing Liu +41

Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are short-lived extra-galactic X-ray sources. Recent progress through multi-wavelength follow-up of Einstein Probe discovered FXTs has shown that sever…

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…
