Archival transients detected with the MeerLICHT telescope I: Supernovae
O. Mogawana, P. J. Groot, N. Blagorodnova +9
Wide-field optical transient surveys collectively discover 50 new transients per night, making rapid, multi-filter and/or spectroscopic follow-up of all but the most exceptio…
Discovery of a radio-flaring M dwarf in a commensal transient search of the LADUMA field
Moses Mlangeni, Patrick A. Woudt, Paul J. Groot +11
We report the discovery and characterisation of MKT J032848.4-271904.6, a new radio transient identified in the LADUMA field using SARAO Science Data Processor (SDP) UHF-band image…
Proto-NUX: A prototype telescope for ground-based near-ultraviolet observations
Rasjied Sloot, Rudy Wijnands, Steven Bloemen +3
The Near-UV-eXplorer (NUX) is a proposed ground-based, wide-field telescope array with a field of view of 70 square degrees, designed to operate over the 300-350 nm wavelengt…
The most distant optically polarised GRB afterglow: GRB 240419A at z = 5.178
R. Brivio, S. Covino, M. Ferro +31
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are extremely bright phenomena powered by relativistic jets arising from explosive events at cosmological distances. The nature of the jet and the configura…
Textual interpretation of transient image classifications from large language models
Fiorenzo Stoppa, Turan Bulmus, Steven Bloemen +4
Modern astronomical surveys deliver immense volumes of transient detections, yet distinguishing real astrophysical signals (for example, explosive events) from bogus imaging artefa…
EP 250108a/SN 2025kg: Observations of the most nearby Broad-Line Type Ic Supernova following an Einstein Probe Fast X-ray Transient
J. C. Rastinejad, A. J. Levan, P. G. Jonker +66
With a small sample of fast X-ray transients (FXTs) with multi-wavelength counterparts discovered to date, the progenitors of FXTs and their connections to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)…
The Near-Ultraviolet eXplorer (NUX): a ground-based wide-field near-UV telescope to search for near-UV transients
Rudy Wijnands, Steven Bloemen, Rasjied Sloot +5
We present the Near-Ultraviolet eXplorer (NUX), which will consist out of 4 small (36 cm diameter) ground-based telescopes that are optimized for the shortest wavelengths that are…
Automated Detection of Satellite Trails in Ground-Based Observations Using U-Net and Hough Transform
F. Stoppa, P. J. Groot, R. Stuik +4
The expansion of satellite constellations poses a significant challenge to optical ground-based astronomical observations, as satellite trails degrade observational data and compro…
