SN 2024afyu interpreted as a Pair Instability Supernova

P. J. Pessi, S. Barmentloo, Ł. Wyrzykowski +63

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are the predicted explosions of very massive stars triggered by electron-positron pair production. Numerous transients have been proposed as PIS…

XP-TEAL: Gaia XP Tool for Emission and Absorption Lines II. Gaia-HELIX catalogue of H emitters in Gaia BP/RP spectra

S. Malhotra, M. Weiler, F. Anders +8

Context: With Gaia's third Data Release (DR3), low-resolution BP/RP (XP) spectra became available for more than 219 million sources. In previous work, we developed a fast method fo…

The high-altitude, inner-disc, and chemically peculiar open cluster UBC 1052

Judit Donada, Laia Casamiquela, Friedrich Anders +8

Out of all the discovered open clusters (OCs) that are located in the inner part of the Galaxy, only a small fraction has been observed with high-resolution spectroscopy. An intrig…

AT2021uey: A planetary microlensing event outside the Galactic bulge

M. Ban, P. Voloshyn, R. Adomaviciene +42

We report the analysis of a planetary microlensing event AT2021uey. The event was observed outside the Galactic bulge and was alerted by both space- (Gaia) and ground-based (ZTF an…

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412

Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…

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…
