Discovery of a Highly Eccentric, Chromospherically Active Binary: ASASSN-V J192114.84+624950.8
Zachary S. Way, T. Jayasinghe, C. S. Kochanek +5
As part of an All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) search for sources with large flux decrements, we discovered a transient where the quiescent, stellar source, ASASSN…
Investigating the Nature of the Luminous Ambiguous Nuclear Transient ASASSN-17jz
Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Jack M. M. Neustadt, Patrick J. Vallely +31
We present observations of the extremely luminous but ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) ASASSN-17jz, spanning roughly 1200 days of the object's evolution. ASASSN-17jz was discovere…
The 2019 outburst of the 2005 classical nova V1047 Cen: a record breaking dwarf nova outburst or a new phenomenon?
E. Aydi, K. V. Sokolovsky, J. S. Bright +28
We present a detailed study of the 2019 outburst of the cataclysmic variable V1047~Cen, which hosted a classical nova eruption in 2005. The peculiar outburst occurred 14 years afte…
The Curious Case of ASASSN-20hx: A Slowly-Evolving, UV and X-ray Luminous, Ambiguous Nuclear Transient
Jason T. Hinkle, Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Benjamin. J. Shappee +22
We present observations of ASASSN-20hx, a nearby ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) discovered in NGC 6297 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). We observed ASAS…
The Loudest Stellar Heartbeat: Characterizing the most extreme amplitude heartbeat star system
T. Jayasinghe, C. S. Kochanek, J. Strader +16
We characterize the extreme heartbeat star system MACHO 80.7443.1718 in the LMC using TESS photometry and spectroscopic observations from the Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle (MIKE…
The Changing Look Blazar B2 1420+32
Hora D. Mishra, Xinyu Dai, Ping Chen +22
Blazars are active galactic nuclei with their relativistic jets pointing toward the observer, with two major sub-classes, the flat spectrum radio quasars and BL Lac objects. We pre…
A Unicorn in Monoceros: the dark companion to the bright, nearby red giant V723 Mon is a non-interacting, mass-gap black hole candidate
T. Jayasinghe, K. Z. Stanek, Todd A. Thompson +18
We report the discovery of the closest known black hole candidate as a binary companion to V723 Mon. V723 Mon is a nearby (), bright (~mag), evolved (…
