Searching for Type Ia Supernovae in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
Xiaoyu Zhuang, Song Ran, Dezheng Meng +9
With the development of large-scale photometric surveys, an increasing number of supernova candidates are being discovered, leading to a rapidly growing demand for supernova spectr…
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…
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…
WFST Supernovae in the First Year: III. Systematical Study of the Photometric Behavior of Early-phase Core-collapse Supernovae
Junhan Zhao, Ji-an Jiang, Zelin Xu +22
We investigate the multiband photometric properties of seven supernovae (SNe) showing double-peaked light-curve evolution and prominent shock-cooling emission, observed by the Wide…
WFST Supernovae in the First Year: II. SN 2024aedt: Systematical Study of a Transitional Type Ia Supernova
Dezheng Meng, Ji-an Jiang, Xu Kong +26
We present comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of a transitional type Ia SN 2024aedt, discovered by the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) within one…
WFST Supernovae in the First Year: I. Statistical Study of 16 Early-phase Type Ia Supernovae from the Pilot Survey
Weiyu Wu, Ji-an Jiang, Zelin Xu +27
In this paper we present 16 early-phase type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered during the pilot survey of the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST-PS) from March 4 to July 1…
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 Common Origin of Normal Type Ia Supernovae Suggested by the Photometric Diversity
Weiyu Wu, Ji-an Jiang, Dezheng Meng +16
In recent years, with an increasing number of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered soon after their explosions, a non-negligible fraction of SNe Ia with early-excess emissions (E…
