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…
AT2024wpp: An Extremely Luminous Fast Ultraviolet Transient Powered by Accretion onto a Black Hole
Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Zoë McGrath +69
We present the discovery of AT 2024wpp ("Whippet"), a fast and luminous 18cow-like transient. At a redshift of z=0.0868, revealed by Keck Cosmic Web Imager spectroscopy of its fain…
A Natural Telescope: Discovery of the Strongly Lensed Type II SN 2025mkn at
Cameron Lemon, Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson +90
We present the discovery of SN 2025mkn, a gravitationally lensed Type II supernova. First detected as a blue transient in ZTF, 0.83 from a elliptical gala…
The WINTER Observatory: A One-Degree InGaAs Survey Camera to study the Transient Infrared Sky
Danielle Frostig, Nathan Lourie, Viraj Karambelkar +20
The Wide-field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a near-infrared time-domain survey instrument operating on a dedicated 1-meter robotic telescope at Palomar Observatory. The…
Multi-color characterization of optically invisible FU Orionis-type outbursts: Demonstration and prospects for the WINTER survey
Danielle Frostig, Kishalay De, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +8
Episodic mass accretion is the dominant mechanism for mass assembly in the proto-stellar phase. Although prior optical time-domain searches have allowed detailed studies of individ…
WINTER on S250206dm: A near-infrared search for an electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave event
Danielle Frostig, Viraj R. Karambelkar, Robert D. Stein +10
We present near-infrared follow-up observations of the International Gravitational Wave Network (IGWN) event S250206dm with the Wide-Field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER). WIN…
