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…
Long GRB 250916A: an Off-axis Powerlaw Jet with Thermal Cocoon
Utkarsh Pathak, Sameer K. Patil, Hitesh Tanenia +22
Some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit precursor emission episodes preceding the main emission, with a quiescent period in between. The properties of the precursor emission and the d…
The ASKAP Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) Extragalactic Survey - Data Release 1
Iris de Ruiter, Dougal Dobie, Tara Murphy +13
The Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) Survey on the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) is designed to systematically explore the dynamic radio sky, detecting sources that vary on…
The radio afterglow of the ultra-long GRB 220627A
James K. Leung, Om Sharan Salafia, Cristiana Spingola +13
We present the discovery of the radio afterglow of the most distant ultra-long gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected to date, GRB~220627A at redshift . Its prompt gamma-ray light…
Thermal electrons in the radio afterglow of relativistic tidal disruption event ZTF22aaajecp/AT2022cmc
Lauren Rhodes, Ben Margalit, Joe S. Bright +11
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star travels too close to a supermassive black hole. In some cases, accretion of the disrupted material onto the black hole launches a…
