Ultraviolet Spectral Evidence for Ansky as a Slowly Evolving Featureless Tidal Disruption Event with Quasiperiodic Eruptions
Jiazheng Zhu, Ning Jiang, Yibo Wang +13
X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are rare and enigmatic phenomena that increasingly show a connection to tidal disruption events (TDEs). However, the recently discovered QPEs…
Discovery of SN 2025wny: a Strongly Gravitationally Lensed Superluminous Supernova at z = 2.01
Joel Johansson, Daniel A. Perley, Ariel Goobar +31
We present the discovery of SN 2025wny (ZTF25abnjznp/GOTO25gtq) and spectroscopic classification of this event as the first gravitationally lensed Type I superluminous supernovae (…
A magnetic white dwarf formed through a binary merger within 35 million years
Huahui Yan, Jiamao Lin, Rizhong Zheng +15
White dwarfs (WDs) represent the final evolutionary stage of most stars, typically originating from progenitor stars with masses below approximately 8 to 10 …
IIb or not IIb: A Catalog of ZTF Kilonova Imposters
Tyler Barna, Christoffer Fremling, Tomas Ahumada +12
Among the various classes of fast optical transients (FOTs), kilonovae (KNe), which can emerge as a result of neutron star mergers, are extremely challenging to observe because of…
Palomar and Apache Point Spectrophotometry of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
Matthew Belyakov, Christoffer Fremling, Matthew J. Graham +7
On July 1st 2025 the third interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS or C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), was discovered, with an eccentricity of and perihelion of au. We…
Low-Luminosity Type IIP Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe. II: Lightcurve Analysis
Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Jesper Sollerman +18
The Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe survey yielded a sample of 330 Type IIP supernovae (SNe) with well-constrained peak luminosities. In paper I (arXiv:2502.…
A Luminous Red Optical Flare and Hard X-ray Emission in the Tidal Disruption Event AT2024kmq
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Yuhan Yao, Tatsuya Matsumoto +30
We present the optical discovery and multiwavelength follow-up observations of AT2024kmq, a likely tidal disruption event (TDE) associated with a supermassive ($M_{\rm BH}\sim 10^{…
A Massive Black Hole 0.8 kpc from the Host Nucleus Revealed by the Offset Tidal Disruption Event AT2024tvd
Yuhan Yao, Ryan Chornock, Charlotte Ward +31
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) that are spatially offset from the nuclei of their host galaxies offer a new probe of massive black hole (MBH) wanderers, binaries, triples, and reco…
Keck and Gemini characterization of rendezvous target 1998 KY
Bryce T. Bolin, Christoffer Fremling, Matthew Belyakov +7
Near-earth object (NEO) 1998 KY is a target of the spacecraft, which it will rendezvous with in July 2031. The asteroid is a rapid rotator and has a large out-…
