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…
EP250108a/SN 2025kg: A Jet-Driven Stellar Explosion Interacting With Circumstellar Material
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Hamid Hamidani, Genevieve Schroeder +28
We present optical, radio, and X-ray observations of EP250108a/SN 2025kg, a broad-line Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-BL) accompanying an Einstein Probe (EP) fast X-ray transient (FXT) a…
Twin peaks: SN 2021uvy and SN 2022hgk in the landscape of double-peaked stripped envelope supernovae
Yashvi Sharma, Jesper Sollerman, William Meynardie +25
In recent years, a class of stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) showing two distinct light-curve peaks has emerged, where the first peak cannot be attributed to shock cooling emis…
The Nature of Optical Afterglows Without Gamma-ray Bursts: Identification of AT2023lcr and Multiwavelength Modeling
Maggie L. Li, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Geoffrey Ryan +29
In the past few years, the improved sensitivity and cadence of wide-field optical surveys have enabled the discovery of several afterglows without associated detected gamma-ray bur…
Cryoscope: A Cryogenic Infrared Survey Telescope in Antarctica
Mansi M. Kasliwal, Nicholas Earley, Roger Smith +58
We present Cryoscope--a new 50 deg field-of-view, 1.2 m aperture, survey telescope to be located at Dome C, Antarctica. Cryoscope has an innovative optical-thermal d…
Multi-Wavelength Analysis of AT 2023sva: a Luminous Orphan Afterglow With Evidence for a Structured Jet
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho +50
We present multi-wavelength analysis of ZTF23abelseb (AT 2023sva), an optically discovered fast-fading ( mag in days), luminous ( mag) an…
