Unravelling the Nature of AT 2025abao: From Precursor to Final Fate
Zhuo Chen, Yingzhen Cui, Tianshu Wu +9
Luminous red novae (LRNe) are potential signatures of common envelope evolution (CEE), a critical yet poorly understood phase in compact binary formation. AT 2025abao, an LRN in th…
X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light
Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130
Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…
Search for L4 Earth Trojan asteroids with the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope
Junqiang Lu, Lulu Fan, Shaohan Wang +16
Earth Trojan asteroids (ETAs) are a mysterious population, and dynamically stable ETAs, if primordial, could be "living fossils" of the early solar system. To date, there are only…
Discovery of a Featureless Tidal Disruption Event at z~1 with the Wide Field Survey Telescope
Jiazheng Zhu, Zelin Xu, Ning Jiang +31
We report the discovery of tidal disruption event (TDE) WFST250820mmsw/AT2025wet by the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST). It exhibits a blue nuclear flare throughout th…
Illuminating the Mass Gap Through Deep Optical Constraint on a Neutron Star Merger Candidate S250206dm
Zhengyan Liu, Zelin Xu, Ji-an Jiang +35
The gravitational wave (GW) event S250206dm, as the first well-localized neutron star merger candidate potentially located in the mass gap, presented a unique opportunity to probe…
A Star's Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Runaway Periodic Eruptions of AT2023uqm
Yibo Wang, Tingui Wang, Shifeng Huang +37
Stars on bound orbits around a supermassive black hole may undergo repeated partial tidal disruption events (rpTDEs), producing periodic flares. While several candidates have been…
A pilot survey on globular clusters with the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST)
Zhen Wan, Lulu Fan, Xuzhi Li +19
We carry out an imaging survey of six globular clusters (GCs) with a limit magnitude to 22 mag at the 5 sigma level, down to the main sequence stars of the respective cluster, as o…
Search Capability for Near-Earth Objects with the Wide Field Survey Telescope
Jun-Qiang Lu, Lu-Lu Fan, Min-Xuan Cai +4
Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST), with a powerful sky survey capability in the northern hemisphere, will play an important role in asteroid searching and monitoring. However, WFS…
A Heliocentric-orbiting Objects Processing System (HOPS) for the Wide Field Survey Telescope: Architecture, Processing Workflow, and Preliminary Results
Shao-Han Wang, Bing-Xue Fu, Jun-Qiang Lu +23
Wide-field surveys have markedly enhanced the discovery and study of solar system objects (SSOs). The 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) represents the foremost facility…
The 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope Real-time Data Processing Pipeline I: From raw data to alert distribution
Minxuan Cai, Zelin Xu, Lulu Fan +13
The Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) is a dedicated photometric surveying facility built jointly by the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and the Purple Mounta…
Minute-cadence observations on Galactic plane with Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST): Overview, methodology and early results
Jie Lin, Tinggui Wang, Minxuan Cai +26
As the time-domain survey telescope of the highest survey power in the northern hemisphere currently, Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) is scheduled to hourly/daily/semi-weekly sc…
Could the inter-band lag of active galactic nucleus vary randomly?
Zhen-Bo Su, Zhen-Yi Cai, Jun-Xian Wang +18
The inter-band lags among the optical broad-band continua of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been intensively explored over the past decade. However, the nature of the lags rema…
