An Off-Nuclear Tidal Disruption Event Discovered At Late Times: The Case Of TDE 2023mfm
Itai Sfaradi, Ryan Chornock, Yuhan Yao +24
We present the discovery and analysis of the optically selected tidal disruption event (TDE) 2023mfm, which originates from a wandering massive black hole (MBH) in a massive ($\sim…
Follow-up of SN 2025wny IV: Photometric Time-delay Measurements of a Strongly Lensed Superluminous Supernova
Alice Townsend, Suhail Dhawan, Erin E. Hayes +34
We present photometric time-delay measurements of SN 2025wny, the first strongly lensed Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN-I), discovered at . Time-delay measurements…
A Multi-Wavelength View of the First Type Ic-BL Supernova with an Einstein Probe X-ray Shock Breakout
Jillian C. Rastinejad, Gokul Srinivasaragavan, Nikhil Sarin +36
In March 2026, the Einstein Probe (EP) discovered its most nearby (z = 0.0343) Fast X-ray Transient (FXT), EP260321a, the first EP FXT to provide a strong match to expectations for…
Decoding the Early-Time Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae. II. Population Parameters of One Thousand ZTF Supernovae
Chang Liu, Adam A. Miller, Nikhil Sarin +13
Early-time light curves of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) encode critical information about their progenitor systems. We characterize the rise of normal SNe Ia using a volume-complete…
Multi-year Ground-Based Survey Photometry of Active Comet 103P/Hartley 2 and Centaur (2060) Chiron: A Tale of Two Comets in the Pre-LSST Era
Joseph Murtagh, Megan E. Schwamb, Michael S. P. Kelley +22
Comets and Centaurs trace the evolution of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) into the inner solar system. Their activity reflects the interplay between volatile sublimation, dust dyna…
Constraints on Late-Time Flaring from Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the Zwicky Transient Facility
Rahul Jayaraman, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Michael M. Fausnaugh +14
The Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT) AT2022tsd exhibited minutes-timescale optical flares in the tens of days following the initial transient event, likely due to a cen…
An analysis of the Type Ia SN 2024gy and a comparison of different host extinction estimation techniques
Jacco H. Terwel, Kate Maguire, Cillian O'Donnell +38
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are well-known standardisable candles, and are one of the main ways to measure the distance to their host galaxies. However, extinction due to interstel…
A Natural Telescope: Discovery of the Strongly Lensed Type II SN 2025mkn at
Cameron Lemon, Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson +90
We present the discovery of SN 2025mkn, a gravitationally lensed Type II supernova. First detected as a blue transient in ZTF, 0.83 from a elliptical gala…
AT2024wpp: An Extremely Luminous Fast Ultraviolet Transient Powered by Accretion onto a Black Hole
Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Zoë McGrath +69
We present the discovery of AT 2024wpp ("Whippet"), a fast and luminous 18cow-like transient. At a redshift of z=0.0868, revealed by Keck Cosmic Web Imager spectroscopy of its fain…
