Blackbody evolution and circumstellar medium properties of broad-lined H-rich superluminous supernovae

Tuomas Kangas, Takashi Nagao, Uliana Pylypenko +2

Broad-lined H-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSNe II) tend to show signs of interaction, including a UV excess compared to a blackbody function. However, a quantitative analysis o…

SN 2024afyu interpreted as a Pair Instability Supernova

P. J. Pessi, S. Barmentloo, Ł. Wyrzykowski +63

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are the predicted explosions of very massive stars triggered by electron-positron pair production. Numerous transients have been proposed as PIS…

JWST Detects a Dusty AGB-like Source Before the Type Ia-CSM Supernova 2026sqf

Tamás Szalai, Dan Milisavljevic, Noah Zimmer +22

Supernova (SN) 2026sqf recently appeared in the nearby face-on spiral galaxy NGC 3310 and has shown signs of strong interaction with a circumstellar medium (CSM). Such intense inte…

Is the Symbiotic Recurrent Nova T CrB Late? Recent Photometric Evolution and Comparison with Past Pre-Outburst Behaviour

Jaroslav Merc, Łukasz Wyrzykowski, Paul G. Beck +46

T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova that last erupted in 1946. Given its recurrence timescale of approximately 80 years, the next outburst is eagerly anticipated by the astronomica…

Constraining Lens Masses in Moderately to Highly Magnified Microlensing Events from Gaia

U. Pylypenko, Ł. Wyrzykowski, P. J. Mikołajczyk +57

Microlensing events provide a unique way to detect and measure the masses of isolated, non-luminous objects, particularly dark stellar remnants. Under certain conditions, it is pos…

A close binary lens revealed by the microlensing event Gaia20bof

E. Bachelet, P. Rota, V. Bozza +24

During the last 25 years, hundreds of binary stars and planets have been discovered towards the Galactic Bulge by microlensing surveys. Thanks to a new generation of large-sky surv…

Uncovering the Invisible: A Study of Gaia18ajz, a Candidate Black Hole Revealed by Microlensing

K. Howil, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. Kruszyńska +30

Identifying black holes is essential for comprehending the development of stars and uncovering novel principles of physics. Gravitational microlensing provides an exceptional oppor…

Dark lens candidates from Gaia Data Release 3

K. Kruszyńska, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. A. Rybicki +48

Gravitational microlensing is a phenomenon that allows us to observe dark remnants of stellar evolution even if they no longer emit electromagnetic radiation. In particular, it can…

Lens mass estimate in the Galactic disk extreme parallax microlensing event Gaia19dke

M. Maskoliūnas, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. Howil +74

We present the results of our analysis of Gaia19dke, an extraordinary microlensing event in the Cygnus constellation that was first spotted by the {\gaia} satellite. This event fea…

Gaia22dkvLb: A Microlensing Planet Potentially Accessible to Radial-Velocity Characterization

Zexuan Wu, Subo Dong, Tuan Yi +50

We report discovering an exoplanet from following up a microlensing event alerted by Gaia. The event Gaia22dkv is toward a disk source rather than the traditional bulge microlensin…

The Gaia alerted fading of the FUor-type star Gaia21elv

Zsófia Nagy, Sunkyung Park, Péter Ábrahám +26

FU Orionis objects (FUors) are eruptive young stars, which exhibit outbursts that last from decades to a century. Due to the duration of their outbursts, and to the fact that only…
