A red giant orbiting a black hole

Kareem El-Badry, Hans-Walter Rix, Yvette Cendes +18

We report spectroscopic and photometric follow-up of a dormant black hole (BH) candidate from Gaia DR3. The system, which we call Gaia BH2, contains a red giant a…

Discovery of eRASSt J192932.9-560346: a bright, two-pole accreting, eclipsing polar

Axel Schwope, David A. H. Buckley, Adam Malyali +5

We report the discovery of a bright (V ~ 15), eclipsing, two-pole accreting magnetic cataclysmic variable (CV), a polar, as counterpart of the eROSITA and Gaia transients eRASSt 19…

Identification of SRGt 062340.2-265715 as a bright, strongly variable, novalike cataclysmic variable

Axel Schwope, David A. H. Buckley, Adela Kawka +10

We report the identification and follow-up of the transient SRG 062340.2-265715 detected with both instruments on board the Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma mission. Optical spectroscopy of…

Photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the interacting transient AT 2016jbu (Gaia16cfr)

S. J. Brennan, M. Fraser, J. Johansson +68

We present the results from a high cadence, multi-wavelength observation campaign of AT 2016jbu (aka Gaia16cfr), an interacting transient. This dataset complements the current lite…

SN 2017ens: The Metamorphosis of a Luminous Broad-lined Type Ic Supernova into an SN IIn

T. -W. Chen, C. Inserra, M. Fraser +46

We present observations of supernova (SN) 2017ens, discovered by the ATLAS survey and identified as a hot blue object through the GREAT program. The redshift z=0.1086 implies a pea…

A solar-type star polluted by calcium-rich supernova ejecta inside the supernova remnant RCW 86

V. V. Gvaramadze, N. Langer, L. Fossati +7

When a massive star in a binary system explodes as a supernova its companion star may be polluted with heavy elements from the supernova ejecta. Such a pollution had been detected…
