VLASS Discovery of a Luminous Galactic Radio Transient Evolving on Decade Timescales

Jessie M. Miller, Gregg Hallinan, Dillon Dong +10

We present a multiwavelength analysis of the radio transient VT J1906+0849, discovered as a 70 mJy source in Epoch 1 of the Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS), 21 yr after an NRAO…

A spectacular multi-wavelength transient associated with an off-axis relativistic jet

Delina Levine, Gregg Hallinan, Jean J. Somalwar +10

Many of the most luminous extragalactic transients originate from the accretion of material onto a black hole (BH) via core-collapse, stellar mergers, or the tidal disruption of a…

Fast Luminous Extragalactic Transients in the VLA Sky Survey: Implications for the rates of Accretion-Induced Collapse Events, Fast Blue Optical Transients and Gamma Ray Burst Afterglows

Kritti Sharma, Vikram Ravi, Dillon Z. Dong +7

Radio wavelengths offer a unique window into high-energy astrophysical phenomena that may be obscured or too rapidly evolving to be captured at other wavelengths. Leveraging data f…

The Symbiotic Recurrent Nova V745 Sco at Radio Wavelengths

Isabella Molina, Laura Chomiuk, Justin D. Linford +14

V745 Sco is a Galactic symbiotic recurrent nova with nova eruptions in 1937, 1989 and 2014. We study the behavior of V745 Sco at radio wavelengths (0.6-37,GHz), covering both its 1…

Preferential Occurrence of Fast Radio Bursts in Massive Star-Forming Galaxies

Kritti Sharma, Vikram Ravi, Liam Connor +24

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration events detected from beyond the Milky Way. FRB emission characteristics favor highly magnetized neutron stars, or magnetars, as th…

VLASS tidal disruption events with optical flares I: the sample and a comparison to optically-selected TDEs

Jean J. Somalwar, Vikram Ravi, Dillon Z. Dong +11

In this work, we use the Jansky VLA Sky Survey (VLASS) to compile the first sample of six radio-selected tidal disruption events (TDEs) with transient optical counterparts. While w…
