Searching for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries in GOTO and ATLAS data

G. Ramsay, K. Ackley, S. Belkin +46

Symbiotic Binaries contain a white dwarf accreting material from a red giant star typically through a wind. We present the results of a search for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries…

The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) data pipeline and workflow for transient discovery

J. D. Lyman, D. O'Neill, T. Killestein +45

Wide-field and high-cadence sky surveys are the first step in the chain of discovery and characterisation of astrophysical transients such as supernovae, kilonovae, and tidal disru…

GOTO identification and broadband modelling of the counterpart to the SVOM GRB 250818B

S. Belkin, G. P. Lamb, K. Ackley +61

Rapid localisation and follow-up of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) increasingly rely on low-latency triggers from new missions coupled to wide-field robotic optical facilities. We present…

Radio Galaxy Zoo EMU: Harnessing Citizen Science and AI to Advance Open Science Catalogues

Eleni Vardoulaki, Hongming Tang, Micah Bowles +10

Over the past decades, significant efforts have been devoted to developing sophisticated algorithms for automatically identifying and classifying radio sources in large surveys. Ho…

Multi-messenger Gravitational Lensing

Graham P. Smith, Tessa Baker, Simon Birrer +38

We introduce the rapidly emerging field of multi-messenger gravitational lensing - the discovery and science of gravitationally lensed phenomena in the distant universe through the…

: the GOTO project for real-time citizen science in time-domain astrophysics

T. L. Killestein, L. Kelsey, E. Wickens +51

Time-domain astrophysics continues to grow rapidly, with the inception of new surveys drastically increasing data volumes. Democratised, distributed approaches to training sets for…

A long-duration gamma-ray burst of dynamical origin from the nucleus of an ancient galaxy

Andrew J. Levan, Daniele B. Malesani, Benjamin P. Gompertz +29

The majority of long duration ( s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to arise from the collapse of massive stars \cite{Hjorth+03}, with a small proportion created from the m…

Exploring compact binary merger host galaxies and environments with

S. Mandhai, G. P. Lamb, N. R. Tanvir +5

Compact binaries such as double neutron stars or a neutron star paired with a black-hole, are strong sources of gravitational waves during coalescence and also the likely progenito…

Gamma Ray Burst studies with THESEUS

G. Ghirlanda, R. Salvaterra, M. Toffano +30

Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful transients in the Universe, over-shining for a few seconds all other -ray sky sources. Their emission is produced within narrowly c…

LOFAR early-time search for coherent radio emission from Short GRB 181123B

A. Rowlinson, R. L. C. Starling, K. Gourdji +6

The mergers of two neutron stars are typically accompanied by broad-band electromagnetic emission from either a relativistic jet or a kilonova. It has also been long predicted that…

The Rate of Short Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts in the local Universe

Soheb Mandhai, Nial Tanvir, Gavin Lamb +2

The binary neutron star merger responsible for the gravitational wave event, GW170817, strengthened the merger association with short-duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) following th…

The Rate of Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts in the Local Universe

Soheb Mandhai, Nial Tanvir, Gavin Lamb +2

Following the faint gamma-ray burst, GRB 170817A, coincident with a gravitational wave-detected binary neutron star merger at Mpc, we consider the constraints on a local…
