Archival transients detected with the MeerLICHT telescope I: Supernovae

O. Mogawana, P. J. Groot, N. Blagorodnova +9

Wide-field optical transient surveys collectively discover 50 new transients per night, making rapid, multi-filter and/or spectroscopic follow-up of all but the most exceptio…

Contemporaneous optical-radio observations of a fast radio burst in a close galaxy pair

K. Y. Hanmer, I. Pastor-Marazuela, J. Brink +20

We present the MeerKAT discovery and MeerLICHT contemporaneous optical observations of the Fast Radio Burst (FRB) 20230808F, which was found to have a dispersion measure of $\mathr…
