Early Multiwavelength Observations of AT 2026fgk: The Luminous Afterglow to Sub-luminous GRB 260310A, Identified Independently of a Gamma-ray Trigger

K. -R. Hinds, A. Y. Q. Ho, Y. Wagh +103

The origins of sub-luminous (\,erg\,s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with broad-lined Type~Ic supernovae (Ic-BL SNe) are poorly u…

SN 2024cld: unveiling the complex mass-loss histories of evolved supergiant progenitors to core collapse supernovae

T. L. Killestein, M. Pursiainen, R. Kotak +52

Pre-explosion mass loss in supernova (SN) progenitors is a crucial unknown factor in stellar evolution, yet has been illuminated recently by the diverse zoo of interacting transien…

SN 2024bfu, SN 2025qe, and the early light curves of type Iax supernovae

M. R. Magee, T. L. Killestein, M. Pursiainen +39

Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are one of the most common subclasses of thermonuclear supernova and yet their sample size, particularly those observed shortly after explosion, remai…

The case of AT2022wtn: a Tidal Disruption Event in an interacting galaxy

F. Onori, M. Nicholl, P. Ramsden +35

We present the results from our multi-wavelength monitoring campaign of the transient AT2022wtn, discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility in the nucleus of SDSSJ232323.79+104107…

Follow-up on three poorly studied AM CVn stars

Amornrat Aungwerojwit, Boris T. Gaensicke, E. Breedt +12

We report follow-up observations of three poorly studied AM CVn-type binaries: CRTS CSS150211 J091017-200813, NSV1440, and SDSSJ183131.63+420220.2. Analysing time-series photometry…

SN 2023xwi: Forbidden line emission in the peak spectrum of a Ca-strong transient

C. -G. Touchard-Paxton, C. Frohmaier, M. Pursiainen +7

We present an extensive optical photometric and spectroscopic investigation into the calcium-rich supernova (SN) - SN2023xwi. Observations from a variety of ground-based telescopes…

GOTO065054+593624: a 8.5 mag amplitude dwarf nova identified in real time via Kilonova Seekers

T. L. Killestein, G. Ramsay, M. Kennedy +62

Dwarf novae are astrophysical laboratories for probing the nature of accretion, binary mass transfer, and binary evolution -- yet their diverse observational characteristics contin…

Optical evolution of AT 2024wpp: the high-velocity outflows in Cow-like transients are consistent with high spherical symmetry

M. Pursiainen, T. L. Killestein, H. Kuncarayakti +17

We present the analysis of optical data of a bright and extremely-rapidly evolving transient, AT2024wpp, whose properties are similar to the enigmatic AT2018cow (aka the Cow). AT20…

: the GOTO project for real-time citizen science in time-domain astrophysics

T. L. Killestein, L. Kelsey, E. Wickens +51

Time-domain astrophysics continues to grow rapidly, with the inception of new surveys drastically increasing data volumes. Democratised, distributed approaches to training sets for…
