Discovery of a Nearby Ultra-fast Magnetic White Dwarf Propeller: Common Pathways to Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry, R. Michael Rich +11
The fastest spinning white dwarfs (WDs), which approach break-up speeds, are found in close binary systems. In the two known magnetic WD ``propellers'', AE~Aqr and LAMOST J0240+195…
SN 2024afyu interpreted as a Pair Instability Supernova
P. J. Pessi, S. Barmentloo, Ł. Wyrzykowski +63
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are the predicted explosions of very massive stars triggered by electron-positron pair production. Numerous transients have been proposed as PIS…
The HERON Coma Project: Exploring the low-surface-brightness frontiers in the Coma cluster
Javier Román, R. Michael Rich, Pablo M. Sánchez-Alarcón +3
The technical complexity of data processing and residual instrumental systematics remain among the main barriers to reaching the faintest low-surface-brightness (LSB) regimes in th…
Follow-up of SN 2025wny III: Spectroscopic Time-delay Measurements of a Strongly Gravitationally Lensed Superluminous Supernova
Joel Johansson, Edvard Mörtsell, Ariel Goobar +30
We present spatially resolved spectra and infer the time-delays between the multiple images of the strongly gravitationally lensed superluminous supernova (SLSN) 2025wny at z=2.015…
Follow-up of SN 2025wny II: Superluminous Supernova Physics at Cosmic Noon
Maggie L. Li, Lin Yan, Anamaria Gkini +46
SN 2025wny is a gravitationally lensed, hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at z = 2.015. To date, it is the most extensively observed high-redshift core-collapse SN and…
Bridging the gap between SLSNe and SE-SNe. Multi-wavelength analysis of the SLSN-Ib SN 2024jlc
A. Simongini, F. Acero, M. Imbrogno +15
The Type I super-luminous supernova SN~2024jlc (ZTF24aapadbb) exploded on the 25th of May 2024 at . Being the closest supernova of this class discovered in recent years…
AT2024wpp: An Extremely Luminous Fast Ultraviolet Transient Powered by Accretion onto a Black Hole
Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Zoë McGrath +69
We present the discovery of AT 2024wpp ("Whippet"), a fast and luminous 18cow-like transient. At a redshift of z=0.0868, revealed by Keck Cosmic Web Imager spectroscopy of its fain…
