A Multi-Wavelength View of the First Type Ic-BL Supernova with an Einstein Probe X-ray Shock Breakout
Jillian C. Rastinejad, Gokul Srinivasaragavan, Nikhil Sarin +36
The paper reports multi-wavelength observations of the nearby fast X‑ray transient EP260321a, identified as the shock‑breakout of a broad‑line Type Ic supernova (SN2026gzf), and us…
Compact Objects Merging with Stars as an Origin of Ultra-Long Gamma-Ray Bursts and Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients
V. Ashley Villar, Anya E. Nugent, Eric Burns +4
Ultra-long gamma-ray bursts (ULGRBs) and luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) are two rare classes of engine-driven transients whose physical connection remains unknown.…
The Environments of Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients: Evidence for a Compact Object and Wolf-Rayet Star Merger Origin
Anya E. Nugent, V. Ashley Villar, Brian D. Metzger +5
We present a comprehensive analysis of the host galaxies of 11 luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs). We model new and archival host photometry and spectroscopy with Prosp…
The pair-instability origin of supernova 2023vbw
Daichi Hiramatsu, Edo Berger, Daichi Tsuna +18
Stars in the initial and carbon-oxygen core mass ranges of and M, respectively, with low metallicity are predicted to experience copious electron-pos…
The Eye of Sauron in SN 2025ngs: a Short-plateau Cousin of SN 1998S with Evidence for a Ring-like Circumstellar Medium
Conor L. Ransome, David J. Sand, K. Azalee Bostroem +35
Interacting supernovae probe the twilight years of massive stars, exhibiting signatures of interaction between the supernova ejecta and surrounding material expelled from the proge…
GRB 210704A: A Luminous Fast Blue Transient in a GRB Afterglow at
Daniëlle L. A. Pieterse, Andrew J. Levan, Maria E. Ravasio +27
We present detailed, multi-wavelength analysis of GRB 210704A: a Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor discovered and Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) detected gamma-ray burst (GRB). The b…
