The emergence of X-ray emission lines during relativistic radio-jet formation in the changing-look active galactic nucleus 1ES 1927+654
Dev R. Sadaula, Sibasish Laha, Eileen T. Meyer +27
We present results from a comprehensive multi-wavelength monitoring campaign of the changing-look active galactic nucleus 1ES 1927+654 during the onset and evolution of a relativis…
TDE 2025abcr: A Tidal Disruption Event in the Outskirts of a Massive Galaxy
Robert Stein, Jonathan Carney, Charlotte Ward +27
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) have traditionally been discovered in optical sky surveys through targeted searches of nuclear transients. However, it is expected that some TDEs wil…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Fast X-ray Transient Detection with AXIS: application to Magnetar Giant Flares
Michela Negro, Zorawar Wadiasingh, George Younes +6
Magnetar giant flares (MGFs) are among the most luminous high-energy transients in the local universe, consisting of a short, intense MeV gamma-ray spike followed by a softer, puls…
LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA neutron star merger candidate S250206dm: Zwicky Transient Facility observations
Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Mattia Bulla +49
We present the searches conducted with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in response to S250206dm, a bona fide event with a false alarm rate of one in 25 years, detected by the I…
BatAnalysis -- A Comprehensive Python Pipeline for Swift BAT Time-Tagged Event Data Analysis
Tyler Parsotan, David M. Palmer, Samuele Ronchini +7
The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) is a coded aperture gamma-ray instrument with a large field of view that was designed to detect and localize transient events. When a transien…
