CSS161010: a luminous, fast blue optical transient with broad blueshifted hydrogen lines

Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Seppo Mattila, Peter Lundqvist +38

We present ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of the luminous, fast blue optical transient (LFBOT), CSS161010:045834-081803 (…

The NuSTAR Serendipitous Survey: the 80-month catalog and source properties of the high-energy emitting AGN and quasar population

Claire L. Greenwell, Lizelke Klindt, George B. Lansbury +32

We present a catalog of hard X-ray serendipitous sources detected in the first 80 months of observations by the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR). The NuSTAR serendipi…

The outburst of the changing-look AGN IRAS23226-3843 in 2019

Wolfram Kollatschny, Dirk Grupe, Michael L. Parker +8

IRAS23226-3843 has previously been classified as a changing-look AGN based on X-ray and optical spectral variations. In 2019, Swift observations revealed a strong rebrightening in…

On the multi-wavelength variability of Mrk 110: Two components acting at different timescales

F. M. Vincentelli, I. McHardy, E. M. Cackett +17

We present the first intensive continuum reverberation mapping study of the high accretion rate Seyfert galaxy Mrk 110. The source was monitored almost daily for more than 200 days…

A comparison between SALT/SAAO observations and kilonova models for AT 2017gfo: the first electromagnetic counterpart of a gravitational wave transient - GW170817

David A. H. Buckley, Igor Andreoni, Sudhanshu Barway +13

We report on SALT low resolution optical spectroscopy and optical/IR photometry undertaken with other SAAO telescopes (MASTER-SAAO and IRSF) of the kilonova AT 2017gfo (aka SSS17a)…

The Rapid Reddening and Featureless Optical Spectra of the optical counterpart of GW170817, AT 2017gfo, During the First Four Days

Curtis McCully, Daichi Hiramatsu, D. Andrew Howell +17

We present the spectroscopic evolution of AT 2017gfo, the optical counterpart of the first binary neutron star (BNS) merger detected by LIGO and Virgo, GW170817. While models have…
