An extremely bright slow-rising afterglow from an off-axis jet in GRB 260310A

Yu-Han Yang, Roberto Ricci, Eleonora Troja +31

We present a multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A, a nearby long-duration gamma-ray burst at associated with a broad-lined Type Ic supernova. Despite its modest pro…

Towards a Comprehensive Understanding of Planetary Systems through Population-Level, Large-Scale Surveys

Francisco J. Pozuelos, Pedro J. Amado, Jesús Aceituno +13

Over the past three decades, exoplanet research has delivered an extensive census of planets spanning a wide range of masses, sizes, and orbital configurations. Despite this progre…

Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XV. Reverberation Mapping of Mg II Emission Lines

Hua-Rui Bai, Pu Du, Chen Hu +25

As the 15th paper in a series reporting on a large reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of super-Eddington accreting massive black holes (SEAMBHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs),…

The ORCA-TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science case and commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory

Martin M. Roth, Pasko Roje, Stella Vjesnica +18

We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. Th…

Detection of unexpected leading delays in broad Hβ line reverberations in the quasar PHL 1092

Jian-Min Wang, Chen Hu, Yong-Jie Chen +12

Delayed reverberations of broad emission lines in response to optical continuum variations have been widely observed in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). They serve as a powerful tool…

Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XIV. Long-Duration High-Cadence Reverberation Mapping Results for 11 PG Quasars

Chen Hu, Zhu-Heng Yao, Yong-Jie Chen +20

We report the results of a long-duration high-cadence reverberation mapping campaign of a second batch of 11 PG quasars using the 2.2m telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory. This…

Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Measuring Geometric Distances and Black Hole Masses of Four Nearby Quasars

Yan-Rong Li, Jinyi Shangguan, Jian-Min Wang +35

The geometric distances of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are challenging to measure because of their exceptionally compact structure yet vast cosmic distances. A combination of spe…

B2 1308+326: a changing-look blazar or not?

Ashwani Pandey, Chen Hu, Jian-Min Wang +6

In our previous study, we identified a shift in the synchrotron peak frequency of the blazar B2 1308326 from 10 Hz to 10 Hz during a flare, suggesting it could…

Broad-line Region of the Quasar PG 2130+099. II. Doubling the Size Over Four Years?

Zhu-Heng Yao, Sen Yang, Wei-Jian Guo +16

Over the past three decades, multiple reverberation mapping (RM) campaigns conducted for the quasar PG 2130+099 have exhibited inconsistent findings with time delays ranging from $…

Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping (SARM) of Active Galactic Nuclei. I. The H Broad-line Region Structure and Black Hole Mass of Five Quasars

Yan-Rong Li, Chen Hu, Zhu-Heng Yao +18

We conduct a reverberation mapping (RM) campaign to spectroscopically monitor a sample of selected bright active galactic nuclei with large anticipated broad-line region (BLR) size…

The CAVITY project. The spatially resolved stellar population properties of galaxies in voids

Ana M. Conrado, Rosa M. González Delgado, Rubén García-Benito +28

The Universe is shaped as a web-like structure, formed by clusters, filaments, and walls that leave large volumes in between named voids. Galaxies in voids have been found to be of…
