Aarmed with Data: Bumps, Outflows, and Disk-like Emission in TDE 2025aarm

Aysha Aamer, Kate D. Alexander, Charlotte R. Angus +43

The origin of the optical emission in tidal disruption events (TDEs) remains one of the major outstanding questions in the field, in part due to the limited number of nearby events…

Revealing the Structure and Magnetization of GRB Jets with ALMA Polarization Observations

Tanmoy Laskar, Collin T. Christy, Noah Franz +9

We present a systematic study of the currently available ALMA millimeter polarimetric sample of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows. Our sample comprises 24 observations (20 new) of 1…

Triple radio flares from tidal disruption events: jet-wind collisions and the discovery of a third radio flare from AT2020vwl

Andrew Mummery, Adelle Goodwin, Colin Christy +2

Radio flares from tidal disruption events (TDEs) are observed on two distinct timescales: prompt (around the time of optical peak) and delayed (hundreds to thousands of days after…

The Radio Properties of Extreme Coronal Line Emitters: Constraints on the Sub-parsec Environment

Noah Franz, Kate D. Alexander, Collin T. Christy +10

A tiny fraction () of galaxies display luminous, high-ionization metal emission lines, which may be persistent or variable. These extreme coronal lines (ECLs) are produced…

A Self-Consistent Framework for Synchrotron Equipartition Analysis

Coleman Rohde, Tanmoy Laskar, Noah Franz +3

Determining the energy, size, and velocity of synchrotron-emitting outflows is essential for testing models of their formation and evolution, but these quantities are often poorly…

JWST observations of SN 2024abup: First Detection of CO in a broad-lined Type Ic Supernova and Constraints on r-process Nucleosynthesis

Manisha Shrestha, Lindsey A. Kwok, David J. Sand +42

SN 2024abup is a nearby broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-bl) in NGC 0681 at a distance of 23.3 \pm 1.6 Mpc. As energetic explosions of massive stars, SNe Ic-bl are considered a…

First Detection of Faraday Rotation in a Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow: Low Polarization and High Rotation Measure in GRB 260310A Reveal Jet Magnetic Structure and Environment

Collin T. Christy, Tanmoy Laskar, Kate D. Alexander +10

We report the detection of linear polarization in the radio afterglow of GRB 260310A, representing the first centimeter-wavelength polarization detection of a gamma-ray burst (GRB)…

Search For a Counterpart to the Subsolar Mass Gravitational Wave Candidate S251112cm

Nicholas Vieira, Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan +49

The recent candidate gravitational-wave (GW) alert from a compact object merger involving at least one subsolar mass (SSM) object has prompted questions about their origins. S25111…

SN 2023zcu: A Type IIP SN with Early Flash Features

Monalisa Dubey, Kuntal Misra, Géza Csörnyei +51

We present a detailed photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the Type IIP supernova SN~2023zcu, which exploded in the galaxy NGC~2139 (redshift = 0.006). SN~2023zcu exhibits…

Late-Time Radio and Millimeter Observations of Superluminous Supernovae and Long Gamma Ray Bursts: Implications for Obscured Star Formation, Central Engines, and Fast Radio Bursts

T. Eftekhari, B. Margalit, C. M. B. Omand +18

We present the largest and deepest late-time radio and millimeter survey to date of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) and long duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) to search for associ…

An embedded X-ray source shines through the aspherical AT2018cow: revealing the inner workings of the most luminous fast-evolving optical transients

Raffaella Margutti, B. D. Metzger, R. Chornock +41

We present the first extensive radio to gamma-ray observations of a fast-rising blue optical transient (FBOT), AT2018cow, over its first ~100 days. AT2018cow rose over a few days t…
