The ePESSTO+ census of ZTF nuclear transients. I. What flares in galactic nuclei?
E. Concepción, T. Petrushevska, G. Leloudas +21
Transients in galactic nuclei arise from distinct processes, only some of which trace the supermassive black hole (SMBH). These include tidal disruption events (TDEs), changing-loo…
Dust and PAHs in late-stage galaxy evolution: Imprints of TP-AGB dust injection, grain growth and AGN feedback in high-z quiescent galaxies with JWST and ALMA
D. Donevski, A. Nanni, K. E. Whitaker +9
A major unknown in late-stage galaxy evolution is what regulates the cold interstellar medium (ISM) after quenching, a question central to interpreting molecular gas, dust, and ste…

Light-Curve and Spectral Properties of Type II Supernovae from the ATLAS survey
K. Ertini, J. P. Anderson, G. Folatelli +22
Type II supernovae (SNe II) are the most common terminal stellar explosions in the Universe. With SNe now being detected within days after explosion, there is growing evidence that…

David A. Coulter, Conor Larison, Justin D. R. Pierel +88
Observing supernovae (SNe) in the early Universe (z > 3) provides a window into how both galaxies and individual stars have evolved over cosmic time, yet a detailed study of high-r…
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…
Massive stars exploding in a He-rich circumstellar medium XII. SN 2024acyl: A fast, linearly declining Type Ibn supernova with early flash-ionisation features
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, K. Maeda +63
We present a photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the Type Ibn supernova (SN) 2024acyl. It rises to an absolute magnitude peak of about -17.58 mag in 10.6 days, and displays a…
Cluster-lensed supernova yields from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
M. Bronikowski, T. Petrushevska, J. D. R. Pierel +5
Through gravitational lensing, galaxy clusters can magnify supernovae (SNe) and create multiple images of the same SN. This enables measurements of cosmological parameters, which w…

We present the results from our multi-wavelength monitoring campaign of the transient AT2022wtn, discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility in the nucleus of SDSSJ232323.79+104107…
Observational diversity of bright long-lived Type II supernovae
T. Nagao, T. M. Reynolds, H. Kuncarayakti +21
In various types of supernovae (SNe), strong interaction between the SN ejecta and circumstellar material (CSM) has been reported. This raises questions on their progenitors and ma…
The CosmoVerse White Paper: Addressing observational tensions in cosmology with systematics and fundamental physics
Eleonora Di Valentino, Jackson Levi Said, Adam Riess +533
The standard model of cosmology has provided a good phenomenological description of a wide range of observations both at astrophysical and cosmological scales for several decades.…
Astrometry-Only Detection of Microlensing Events with Gaia
T. Jankovič, A. Gomboc, Ł. Wyrzykowski +7
Astrometric microlensing events occur when a massive object passes between a distant source and the observer, causing a shift of the light centroid. The precise astrometric measure…
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)…
