Constraining Lens Masses in Moderately to Highly Magnified Microlensing Events from Gaia
U. Pylypenko, Ł. Wyrzykowski, P. J. Mikołajczyk +57
Microlensing events provide a unique way to detect and measure the masses of isolated, non-luminous objects, particularly dark stellar remnants. Under certain conditions, it is pos…
Uncovering the Invisible: A Study of Gaia18ajz, a Candidate Black Hole Revealed by Microlensing
K. Howil, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. Kruszyńska +30
Identifying black holes is essential for comprehending the development of stars and uncovering novel principles of physics. Gravitational microlensing provides an exceptional oppor…
Lens mass estimate in the Galactic disk extreme parallax microlensing event Gaia19dke
M. Maskoliūnas, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. Howil +74
We present the results of our analysis of Gaia19dke, an extraordinary microlensing event in the Cygnus constellation that was first spotted by the {\gaia} satellite. This event fea…
GRANDMA and HXMT Observations of GRB 221009A -- the Standard-Luminosity Afterglow of a Hyper-Luminous Gamma-Ray Burst
D. A. Kann, S. Agayeva, V. Aivazyan +113
GRB 221009A is the brightest Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) detected in more than 50 years of study. In this paper, we present observations in the X-ray and optical domains after the GRB ob…
The GRANDMA network in preparation for the fourth gravitational-wave observing run
S. Agayeva, V. Aivazyan, S. Alishov +98
GRANDMA is a world-wide collaboration with the primary scientific goal of studying gravitational-wave sources, discovering their electromagnetic counterparts and characterizing the…
Host galaxy magnitude of OJ 287 from its colours at minimum light
Mauri J. Valtonen, Lankeswar Dey, S. Zola +54
OJ 287 is a BL Lacertae type quasar in which the active galactic nucleus (AGN) outshines the host galaxy by an order of magnitude. The only exception to this may be at minimum ligh…
GRANDMA Observations of ZTF/Fink Transients during Summer 2021
V. Aivazyan, M. Almualla, S. Antier +80
We present our follow-up observations with GRANDMA of transient sources revealed by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Over a period of six months, all ZTF triggers were examined…
Potential asteroid discoveries by the ESA Gaia mission: Results from follow-up observations
B. Carry, W. Thuillot, F. Spoto +42
Since July 2014, the ESA Gaia mission has been surveying the entire sky down to magnitude 20.7 in the visible. In addition to the millions of stars, thousands of Solar System Objec…
Gaia18aen: First symbiotic star discovered by Gaia
J. Merc, J. Mikołajewska, M. Gromadzki +20
Besides the astrometric mission of the Gaia satellite, its repeated and high-precision measurements serve also as an all-sky photometric transient survey. The sudden brightenings o…
Gaia 18dvy: a new FUor in the Cygnus OB3 association
E. Szegedi-Elek, P. Ábrahám, L. Wyrzykowski +59
We present optical-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of Gaia18dvy, located in the Cygnus OB3 association at a distance of 1.88 kpc. The object was noted by the Ga…
Spitzer Observations of the Predicted Eddington Flare from Blazar OJ 287
Seppo Laine, Lankeswar Dey, Mauri Valtonen +25
Binary black hole (BH) central engine description for the unique blazar OJ 287 predicted that the next secondary BH impact-induced bremsstrahlung flare should peak on 2019 July 31.…
On the Relation between Interstellar Spectral Features and Reddening
J. Krelowski, G. Galazutdinov, V. Godunova +1
It is well known that interstellar spectral features correlate with color excess E(BV). This suggests that measuring intensities of these features allows one to estimate reddeni…
ASASSN-18fk: A new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova with multiple rebrightenings and a new candidate for a superhumping intermediate polar
E. Pavlenko, K. Niijima, P. Mason +23
We present the result of a multi-longitude campaign on the photometric study of the dwarf nova ASASSN-18fk during its superoutburst in 2018. It was observed with 18 telescopes at 1…
Discovery of Standstills in the SU UMa-Type Dwarf Nova NY Serpentis
Taichi Kato, Elena P. Pavlenko, Nikolaj V. Pit +40
We found that the SU UMa-type dwarf nova NY Ser in the period gap [orbital period 0.097558(6) d] showed standstills twice in 2018. This is the first clear demonstration of a stands…
