K 1-6 is a photoionised ISM nebula shaped by a fast-moving hot white dwarf in a triple system

Jaroslav Merc, David Jones, Ana Escorza +22

K 1-6 has long been classified as a planetary nebula (PN) hosting a binary central star, yet it has remained poorly studied due to its faintness. The central star exhibits pronounc…

Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Time-domain astronomy

F. Coti Zelati, P. G. Jonker, C. P. Gutiérrez +9

We outline the science case for a 30-40 m optical/infrared telescope in the Northern Hemisphere, optimised for transformative time-domain astronomy in the 2040s. Upcoming multi-wav…

Tracking optical variability and outflows across the accretion states of the black hole transient MAXI J1820+070

M. C. Baglio, K. Alabarta, D. M. Russell +10

We present a study of the minute-timescale optical variability and spectroscopic outflow signatures in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during its 2018 outburst and re-br…

Evidence of intra-binary shock emission from the redback pulsar PSR J1048+2339

A. Miraval Zanon, P. D'Avanzo, A. Ridolfi +16

We present simultaneous multiwavelength observations of the 4.66 ms redback pulsar PSR J1048+2339. We performed phase-resolved spectroscopy with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) sear…

The puzzling case of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J00291+5934: flaring optical emission during quiescence

M. C. Baglio, S. Campana, P. D'Avanzo +6

We present an optical (gri) study during quiescence of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J00291+5934 performed with the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) in August 2014…

An unusual stellar death on Christmas Day

C. C. Thöne, A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. L. Fryer +31

Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most dramatic examples of massive stellar deaths, usually as- sociated with supernovae (Woosley et al. 2006). They release ultra-relativistic j…
