Early Multiwavelength Observations of AT 2026fgk: The Luminous Afterglow to Sub-luminous GRB 260310A, Identified Independently of a Gamma-ray Trigger

K. -R. Hinds, A. Y. Q. Ho, Y. Wagh +103

The origins of sub-luminous (\,erg\,s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with broad-lined Type~Ic supernovae (Ic-BL SNe) are poorly u…

Searching for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries in GOTO and ATLAS data

G. Ramsay, K. Ackley, S. Belkin +46

Symbiotic Binaries contain a white dwarf accreting material from a red giant star typically through a wind. We present the results of a search for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries…

The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) data pipeline and workflow for transient discovery

J. D. Lyman, D. O'Neill, T. Killestein +45

Wide-field and high-cadence sky surveys are the first step in the chain of discovery and characterisation of astrophysical transients such as supernovae, kilonovae, and tidal disru…

GOTO identification and broadband modelling of the counterpart to the SVOM GRB 250818B

S. Belkin, G. P. Lamb, K. Ackley +61

Rapid localisation and follow-up of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) increasingly rely on low-latency triggers from new missions coupled to wide-field robotic optical facilities. We present…

SN 2024cld: unveiling the complex mass-loss histories of evolved supergiant progenitors to core collapse supernovae

T. L. Killestein, M. Pursiainen, R. Kotak +52

Pre-explosion mass loss in supernova (SN) progenitors is a crucial unknown factor in stellar evolution, yet has been illuminated recently by the diverse zoo of interacting transien…

GRB 241105A: A test case for GRB classification and rapid r-process nucleosynthesis channels

Dimple, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +85

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) offer a powerful window to probe the progenitor systems responsible for the formation of heavy elements through the rapid neutron capture (r-) process, than…

SN 2024bfu, SN 2025qe, and the early light curves of type Iax supernovae

M. R. Magee, T. L. Killestein, M. Pursiainen +39

Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are one of the most common subclasses of thermonuclear supernova and yet their sample size, particularly those observed shortly after explosion, remai…

GOTO065054+593624: a 8.5 mag amplitude dwarf nova identified in real time via Kilonova Seekers

T. L. Killestein, G. Ramsay, M. Kennedy +62

Dwarf novae are astrophysical laboratories for probing the nature of accretion, binary mass transfer, and binary evolution -- yet their diverse observational characteristics contin…

SN 2023tsz: A helium-interaction driven supernova in a very low-mass galaxy

B. Warwick, J. Lyman, M. Pursiainen +49

SN 2023tsz is a Type Ibn supernova (SNe Ibn) discovered in an extremely low-mass host. SNe Ibn are an uncommon subtype of stripped-envelope core-collapse SNe. They are characterise…

X-ray and optical observations of the millisecond pulsar binary PSRJ1431-4715

D. de Martino, A. Phosrisom, V. S. Dhillon +7

We present the first X-ray observation of the energetic millisecond pulsar binary PSR J1431-4715, performed with XMM-Newton and complemented with fast optical multi-band photometry…

Analysis of optical spectroscopy and photometry of the type I X-ray bursting system UW CrB

M. R. Kennedy, P. Callanan, P. M. Garnavich +19

UW Coronae Borealis (UW CrB) is a low mass X-ray binary that shows both Type 1 X-ray and optical bursts, which typically last for 20 s. The system has a binary period of close to 2…
