Late-time JWST/NIRCam Observations of the Extremely Long-duration GRB 250702B/EP 250702a and Its Host Galaxy
Huei Sears, Jean J. Somalwar, Ryan Chornock +22
We present JWST/NIRCam observations of the extremely long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 250702B taken at ~ 95 days post-GRB (observer frame). The observations of the host galaxy r…
SN 2025adpq: A Type Ia supernova in a collisional ring formed during a major galaxy merger
Brendan O'Connor, Xander J. Hall, Tomas Cabrera +16
Galaxy mergers can both trigger star formation and rearrange where stars live, producing long-lived tidal structures and collisionally driven density waves (known as collisional ri…
Periodic Radio and X-ray Emission from an Accreting White Dwarf Binary
Kovi Rose, Joshua Pritchard, Tara Murphy +26
Long period radio transients (LPTs) are coherent bursts of polarised radio emission that repeat periodically on timescales of minutes to hours. Little is known about the physical o…
TDE 2025abcr: A Tidal Disruption Event in the Outskirts of a Massive Galaxy
Robert Stein, Jonathan Carney, Charlotte Ward +27
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) have traditionally been discovered in optical sky surveys through targeted searches of nuclear transients. However, it is expected that some TDEs wil…
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…
Prospects for GRB Afterglow Discovery with the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Observatory System
James Freeburn, Dougal Dobie, Akash Anumarlapudi +9
Two time domain surveys, recently funded as part of the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Observatory System; the Argus Array, in the optical, and the Deep Synoptic Array (DSA), in the radio,…
