A General-Purpose VLM Can Teach an Astronomy Foundation Model to Better Recognize Galaxy Morphology

Dichang Zhang, Jiaqi Deng, Yixuan Shao +7

Existing astronomy foundation models provide strong galaxy representations, but adapting them to new survey conditions and survey-specific morphology recognition tasks still requir…

SLSim: a strong lensing population simulation package

Narayan Khadka, Simon Birrer, Henry Best +45

Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into cosmology by bending light around massive objects. Strong gravitational lensing, in particular, produces magnified and often multi…

AS-Bridge: A Bidirectional Generative Framework Bridging Next-Generation Astronomical Surveys

Dichang Zhang, Yixuan Shao, Simon Birrer +1

The upcoming decade of observational cosmology will be shaped by large sky surveys, such as the ground-based LSST at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and the space-based Euclid missio…

Pulsar Gleaners: Discovery of 19 Pulsars in FAST Archival Data at and Decl.

Shi-Jie Gao, Yi-Xuan Shao, Xiang-Dong Li

We report the discovery of 19 new pulsars identified from archival observations of the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) within Galactic latitudes $|b|<5…

Minutes-long soft X-ray prompt emission from a compact object merger

An Li, Chen-Wei Wang, Niccolò Passaleva +75

Compact object mergers are multi-messenger sources and known progenitors of some gamma-ray bursts, bright flashes of high-energy radiation powered by a central engine, either an ac…

Search for Radio Pulsations from Neutron Star Candidates in Detached Binaries

Shi-Jie Gao, Xiang-Dong Li, Song Wang +7

Recent optical astrometric and spectroscopic surveys have identified numerous neutron star (NS) candidates in non-accreting detached binary systems, but their compact-object nature…

Absence of Radio Emission Reveals an Exceptionally Weak Explosion of the Putative Historical Supernova Pa 30

Yi-xuan Shao, Ping Zhou, Xiao Zhang +7

We present the first deep radio continuum observations of Pa 30, a nebula hosting a unique optical source driven by an ultrafast outflow with a velocity of 16,000 km s. The…

RRAT J2325-0530: A Rotating Radio Transient with an Atypical Waiting-time Distribution

Shi-Jie Gao, Xiang-Dong Li, Zhen Yan +2

We present 1.25 GHz observations of the rotating radio transient (RRAT) J2325-0530, conducted with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). Approximately 6…

A Target Search for Fast Radio Bursts Associated with Two Fast Blue Optical Transients: AT2018cow and CSS161010

Shi-Jie Gao, Xiang-Dong Li, Yi-Xuan Shao +5

Fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) are luminous, rapidly evolving events with blue spectra, possibly powered by newborn magnetars and linked to fast radio bursts (FRBs). Given th…

Discovery of a millisecond pulsar associated with Terzan 6

Shi-Jie Gao, Yi-Xuan Shao, Pei Wang +6

Observations show that globular clusters might be among the best places to find millisecond pulsars. However, the globular cluster Terzan 6 seems to be an exception without any pul…

GTC optical/NIR upper limits and NICER X-ray analysis of SGR J1935+2154 for the outburst in 2022

Yi-Xuan Shao, Ping Zhou, Xiang-Dong Li +8

The Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 has undergone another outburst since 2022 October 10. We present the results of searching for an optical/NIR counterpart of SGR J1935+2154 befo…

Triggering the Untriggered: The First Einstein Probe-Detected Gamma-Ray Burst 240219A and Its Implications

Yi-Han Iris Yin, Bin-Bin Zhang, Jun Yang +49

The Einstein Probe (EP) achieved its first detection and localization of a bright X-ray flare, EP240219a, on 2024 February 19, during its commissioning phase. Subsequent targeted s…

Upper limits on the radio pulses from magnetars and a central compact object with FAST

Wan-Jin Lu, Ping Zhou, Pei Wang +5

Magnetars and central compact objects (CCOs) are subgroups of neutron stars that show a number of properties distinguished from canonical radio pulsars. We performed radio observat…
