University of Hawaii 88-inch Telescope Observations of the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: Spectrophotometric Blue-Sensitive Spectral Time Series Spanning Two Months from Discovery
W. B. Hoogendam, D. Kuesters, B. J. Shappee +22
The paper presents blue‑sensitive spectrophotometric observations of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS over two months, reporting its early UV spectrum, variable spectral slopes, com…
SCAT Data Release 1: 1810 optical spectra of 1330 transients
Michael A. Tucker, Mark E. Huber, Benjamin J. Shappee +18
We present the first data release (DR1) of the Spectroscopic Classification of Astronomical Transients (SCAT) survey, covering the first years of observations (March 20…
Tracing Active Galactic Nuclei Properties Through a Changing-look Event
Joel Carpenter, Sandra Raimundo, Charlotte Angus +1
Changing-look transitions challenge our understanding of active galactic nuclei (AGN), exhibiting dramatic changes in broad-line emission and continuum flux on timescales of months…
The Enigmatic Type Icn Supernova 2024abvb Located ~22 kpc from Its Host Galaxy
J. Shi, K. Auchettl, W. B. Hoogendam +29
We report multiwavelength observations of the highly offset (~22.4 kpc) SN 2024abvb, the sixth Type Icn supernova to date. With a peak magnitude of Mr = -19.55 +/- 0.11 mag, it is…
The New Status Qvo? SN 2021qvo is Another 2003fg-like Type Ia Supernova with a Rising Light-Curve Bump
I. A. Abreu Paniagua, W. B. Hoogendam, D. O. Jones +24
In recent years, multiple Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have been observed with ''bumps'' in their rising light curves shortly after explosion. Here, we present SN 2021qvo: a SN Ia t…
Can tidal disruption event models reliably measure black hole masses?
C. R. Angus, A. J. Smith, D. Magill +15
Tidal disruption event (TDE) light curves are increasingly used to infer the masses of quiescent supermassive black holes (), offering a powerful probe of low-mass bla…
