The flash-ionised SN Ibn 2025kzr: H-free CSM formed during a precursor outburst 55 days prior to explosion
S. de Wet, G. Leloudas, D. A. H. Buckley +33
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a class of interacting SNe characterised by narrow helium lines in their spectra. We present an extensive observational dataset of the Type Ibn SN 202…
SRGA J115215.0510656: an unusual long-period eclipsing dwarf nova with disc wind signatures
Nikita Rawat, David A. H. Buckley, John R. Thorstensen +9
We present the first detailed optical study of the cataclysmic variable SRGA J115215.0510656, based on new time-resolved photometric and spectroscopic observations complemented…
Anomaly detection in Fink. I. Discovery, follow-up, and classification of unusual sources
M. V. Pruzhinskaya, M. V. Kornilov, A. V. Dodin +19
Modern wide-field time-domain surveys produce alert streams whose scientific potential is often concentrated in rare and unusual events. Efficient discovery therefore requires auto…
A Catalogue of Orbital Periods of Cataclysmic Variables and Candidates from TESS Observations
Meryem K. DaÄ, Simone Scaringi, Kieran O'Brien +21
We present a systematic analysis of 2544 cataclysmic variable systems and related candidates observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), with the aim of compiling…
A probable inside-out dwarf nova outburst from the period bouncer candidate ASASSN-25dc
Yusuke Tampo, Naoto Kojiguchi, Mariko Kimura +13
We report optical time-resolved photometric observations of a newly-discovered outbursting system, ASASSN-25dc. Its 8-mag amplitude, 40-day duration, 1-mag dip in the outburst plat…
How Mass Flows Through Accretion Discs: A Spectral-Timing Vision for the 2040s
Simone Scaringi, Domitilla de Martino, Anna F. Pala +17
Understanding how mass and angular momentum flow through accretion discs remains a fundamental unsolved problem in astrophysics. Accreting white dwarfs offer an ideal laboratory fo…
