Searching for optical pulsations from spider millisecond pulsars with the fast photometer SiFAP2
Christian Malacaria, Alessandro Papitto, Filippo Ambrosino +19
Optical pulsations from millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have recently been detected in a transitional MSP and an accreting MSP. Evidence for optical pulsations has also been found for a…
The ultra-fast afterglow of GRB 260226A
Biswajit Banerjee, Alessio Mei, Annarita Ierardi +13
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are typically powered by relativistic jets launched after the core collapse of some rapidly rotating massive stars. Internal dissipation releases par…
Continuous Wide-Field Optical Monitoring for Very Early-Phase Transient Discovery
Massimo Della Valle, Maria Teresa Botticella, Enrico Cappellaro +40
The study of transient phenomena in a multimessenger context is expected to remain a major pillar of astrophysical discovery in the decades ahead. Supernovae, Kilonovae, Black-Hole…
The Most Luminous Known Fast Blue Optical Transient AT 2024wpp: Unprecedented Evolution and Properties in the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared
Natalie LeBaron, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +45
We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic ultraviolet-optical-infrared campaign on the luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) AT 2024wpp over the first ~100 d. AT…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Walking with SOXS towards the transient sky
P. Schipani, S. Campana, R. Claudi +59
SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) is the new ESO instrument that is going to be installed on the 3.58-m New Technology Telescope at the La Silla Observatory. SOXS is a single object spectrog…
Panning for gold, but finding helium: discovery of the ultra-stripped supernova SN2019wxt from gravitational-wave follow-up observations
I. Agudo, L. Amati, T. An +96
We present the results from multi-wavelength observations of a transient discovered during the follow-up of S191213g, a gravitational wave (GW) event reported by the LIGO-Virgo Col…
The mechanical design of SOXS for the NTT
M Aliverti, O Hershko, O Diner +45
SOXS (Son of X-shooter) is a wide band, medium resolution spectrograph for the ESO NTT with a first light expected in 2021. The instrument will be composed by five semi-independent…
The first continuous optical monitoring of the transitional millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038 with Kepler
A. Papitto, N. Rea, F. Coti Zelati +10
We report on the first continuous, 80 day optical monitoring of the transitional millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038 carried out in mid-2017 with Kepler in the K2 configuration, when…
Electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational wave candidates: perspectives in INAF
S. Piranomonte, E. Brocato, M. Branchesi +18
The electromagnetic (EM) emission associated with a gravitational wave (GW) signal is one of the main goal of future astronomy. Merger of neutron stars and/or black holes and core-…
PAOLO: a Polarimeter Add-On for the LRS Optics at a Nasmyth focus of the TNG
S. Covino, E. Molinari, P. Bruno +10
We describe a new polarimetric facility available at the Istituto Nazionale di AstroFisica / Telescopio Nazionale Galileo at La Palma, Canary islands. This facility, PAOLO (Polarim…
The nature of the X-ray transient MAXI J0556-332
R. Cornelisse, P. D'Avanzo, S. Campana +8
Phase-resolved spectroscopy of the newly discovered X-ray transient MAXI J0556-332 has revealed the presence of narrow emission lines in the Bowen region that most likely arise on…
XRF 100316D / SN 2010bh and the Nature of Gamma Ray Burst Supernovae
Z. Cano, D. Bersier, C. Guidorzi +21
We present ground-based and HST optical and infrared observations of XRF 100316D / SN 2010bh. It is seen that the optical light curves of SN 2010bh evolve at a faster rate than the…
On the offset of Short Gamma-ray Bursts
R. Salvaterra, B. Devecchi, M. Colpi +1
Short Gamma-Ray Bursts (SGRBs) are expected to form from the coalescence of compact binaries, either of primordial origin or from dynamical interactions in globular clusters. In th…
