AT 2020afjz (TSS2020a): The First Fast Extragalactic Transient Discovered by TESS
Ryan Ridden-Harper, Hugh Roxburgh, Clarinda Montilla +13
We report the discovery of AT 2020afjz (TSS2020a): the first hour-scale extragalactic transient discovered in optical wavelengths whose complete evolution -- from explosion onset t…
Multiwavelength Analysis of Six Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients
Cassie Sevilla, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Nayana A. J. +43
We present multiwavelength observations and analysis of six luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) discovered in Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey data. We identified…
Late-time JWST/NIRCam Observations of the Extremely Long-duration GRB 250702B/EP 250702a and Its Host Galaxy
Huei Sears, Jean J. Somalwar, Ryan Chornock +22
We present JWST/NIRCam observations of the extremely long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 250702B taken at ~ 95 days post-GRB (observer frame). The observations of the host galaxy r…
Discovery of a Supernova Following the Einstein Probe Transient EP250302a at z = 1.131
Brendan O'Connor, Malte Busmann, James Freeburn +7
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the Einstein Probe (EP) fast X-ray transient (FXT) EP250302a located at redshift . Despite its luminous prompt X-ray emission, th…
SN 2025adpq: A Type Ia supernova in a collisional ring formed during a major galaxy merger
Brendan O'Connor, Xander J. Hall, Tomas Cabrera +16
Galaxy mergers can both trigger star formation and rearrange where stars live, producing long-lived tidal structures and collisionally driven density waves (known as collisional ri…
Electromagnetic Follow-up of the Sub-Solar Mass Gravitational Wave Candidate S251112cm: Kilonova Constraints and a Coincident IIb Supernova
Xander J. Hall, Tomas Ahumada, Julius Gassert +25
On November 12th, 2025 the LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA (LVK) collaboration reported gravitational waves (GWs) from a compact object merger candidate (S251112cm) with at least one sub-solar…
