Multi-Wavelength Analysis of AT 2023sva: a Luminous Orphan Afterglow With Evidence for a Structured Jet

Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho +50

We present multi-wavelength analysis of ZTF23abelseb (AT 2023sva), an optically discovered fast-fading ( mag in days), luminous ( mag) and…

A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole

Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…

Fast-transient Searches in Real Time with ZTFReST: Identification of Three Optically-discovered Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows and New Constraints on the Kilonova Rate

Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Erik C. Kool +32

While optical surveys regularly discover slow transients like supernovae on their own, the most common way to discover extragalactic fast transients, fading away in a few nights, i…

Real-time Discovery of AT2020xnd: A Fast, Luminous Ultraviolet Transient with Minimal Radioactive Ejecta

Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Yuhan Yao +29

The many unusual properties of the enigmatic AT2018cow suggested that at least some subset of the empirical class of fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) represents a genuinely new…
