Optical evolution of AT 2024wpp: the high-velocity outflows in Cow-like transients are consistent with high spherical symmetry

M. Pursiainen, T. L. Killestein, H. Kuncarayakti +17

We present the analysis of optical data of a bright and extremely-rapidly evolving transient, AT2024wpp, whose properties are similar to the enigmatic AT2018cow (aka the Cow). AT20…

On the diversity of strongly-interacting Type IIn supernovae

I. Salmaso, E. Cappellaro, L. Tartaglia +29

Massive stars experience strong mass-loss, producing a dense, H-rich circumstellar medium (CSM). After the explosion, the collision and continued interaction of the supernova (SN)…

The fast rise of the unusual Type IIL/IIb SN 2018ivc

A. Reguitti, R. Dastidar, G. Pignata +22

We present an analysis of the photometric and spectroscopic dataset of the Type II supernova (SN) 2018ivc in the nearby (10 Mpc) galaxy Messier 77. Thanks to the high cadence of th…

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 X-ray Luminous Type Ibn SN 2022ablq: Estimates of Pre-explosion Mass Loss and Constraints on Precursor Emission

C. Pellegrino, M. Modjaz, Y. Takei +14

Type Ibn supernovae (SNe Ibn) are rare stellar explosions powered primarily by interaction between the SN ejecta and H-poor, He-rich material lost by their progenitor stars. Multi-…

The extreme coronal line emitter AT 2022fpx: Varying optical polarization properties and late-time X-ray flare

Karri I. I. Koljonen, Ioannis Liodakis, Elina Lindfors +8

Supermassive black holes disrupt passing stars, producing outbursts called tidal disruption events (TDEs). TDEs have recently gained attention due to their unique dynamics and emis…

The fast transient AT 2023clx in the nearby LINER galaxy NGC 3799 as a tidal disruption of a very low-mass star

P. Charalampopoulos, R. Kotak, T. Wevers +30

We present an extensive analysis of the optical and UV properties of AT2023clx, the closest TDE to date, that occurred in the nucleus of the interacting LINER galaxy, NGC3799 (z=0.…
