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…
SN 2024abfl: A Low-Luminosity Type IIP Supernova in NGC 2146 from a Low-Mass Red Supergiant Progenitor
Xiaohan Chen, Ning-Chen Sun, Qiang Xi +44
Type IIP supernovae (SNe IIP) exhibit a significant diversity in their explosion properties, yet the physical mechanisms driving this diversity remain unknown. In this work, we pre…
SN 2025coe: A Multiple-Peaked Calcium-Strong Transient from A White-Dwarf Progenitor
Chun Chen, Ning-Chen Sun, Qiang Xi +25
SN 2025coe is a calcium-strong transient located at an extremely large projected offset 39.3 kpc from the center of its host, the nearby early-type galaxy NGC 3277 at a dista…
SN 2024aecx: a fast-evolving Type IIb supernova with a prominent shock-cooling peak
Qiang Xi, Ning-Chen Sun, David Aguado +36
SN 2024aecx is a nearby (11 Mpc) Type IIb SN discovered within 1 d after explosion. In this paper we report high-cadence photometric (typically 0.51 day) and spec…
The Mini-SiTian Array: first-two-year operation
Min He, Hong Wu, Liang Ge +70
The SiTian project, designed to utilize 60 telescopes distributed across multiple sites in China, is a next-generation time-domain survey initiative. As a pathfinder for the SiTian…
The Mini-SiTian Array: White Paper
Henggeng Han, Yang Huang, Beichuan Wang +11
This paper outlines the scientific goals and observational strategies of the Mini-SiTian array. Mounted at Xinglong Observatory, the Mini-SiTian array consists of three 30 cm teles…
Finding Quasars Behind the Galactic Plane: Spectroscopic Identifications of ~1300 New Quasars at |b|<=20 degree from LAMOST DR10
Zhi-Ying Huo, Yuming Fu, Yang Huang +10
Quasars behind the Galactic plane (GPQs) are excellent tracers to probe the chemistry and kinematics of the interstellar/intergalactic medium (ISM/IGM) of the Milky Way along sight…
StarWhisper Telescope: An AI framework for automating end-to-end astronomical observations
Cunshi Wang, Yu Zhang, Yuyang Li +25
The exponential growth of large-scale telescope arrays has boosted time-domain astronomy development but introduced operational bottlenecks, including labor-intensive observation p…
