Failed jet breakout in the metal-poor broad-lined type Ic supernova 2026gzf
Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Christina C. Thöne, James K. Leung +103
A long-standing question in the death of massive stars is the role of relativistic jets. While many gamma-ray bursts and some fast X-ray transients seem to be associated with broad…
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…
Pulsar Discoveries from the TRAPUM UHF Survey of Fermi-LAT Sources
Tinn Thongmeearkom, Colin J. Clark, Rene P. Breton +25
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) provides advantages for radio pulsar searches by enabling efficient target selection. We can confidently point radio telescopes to the position…
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) data pipeline and workflow for transient discovery
J. D. Lyman, D. O'Neill, T. Killestein +45
Wide-field and high-cadence sky surveys are the first step in the chain of discovery and characterisation of astrophysical transients such as supernovae, kilonovae, and tidal disru…
An eclipsing 8.56 minute orbital period mass-transferring binary
Emma T. Chickles, Joheen Chakraborty, Kevin B. Burdge +34
We report the discovery of ATLAS J101342.5-451656.8 (hereafter ATLAS J1013-4516), an 8.56 minute orbital period mass transferring AM Canum Venaticorum binary with mean Gaia magnitu…
Multiwavelength observations of a new black-widow millisecond pulsar PSR J1544-2555
Sergio Belmonte Diaz, Tinn Thongmeearkom, Adipol Phosrisom +20
We report the discovery of a new black-widow millisecond pulsar, PSR J1544-2555, associated with the Fermi-LAT source 4FGL J1544.2-2554. Optical, radio, and gamma-ray observations…
21 years of Astronomy at Warwick: celebrating the legacy of Prof. Tom Marsh
Ingrid Pelisoli, Boris Gänsicke, Keith Horne +7
Between the 4th and 6th of September 2024, the Astronomy & Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick held a meeting to celebrate 21 years of astronomy at Warwick and the scie…
EP240801a/XRF 240801B: An X-ray Flash Detected by the Einstein Probe and Implications of its Multiband Afterglow
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Agnes P. C. van Hoof +89
We present multiband observations and analysis of EP240801a, a low-energy, extremely soft gamma-ray burst (GRB) discovered on August 1, 2024 by the Einstein Probe (EP) satellite, w…
A gravitational wave detectable candidate Type Ia supernova progenitor
Emma T. Chickles, Kevin B. Burdge, Joheen Chakraborty +37
Type Ia supernovae, critical for studying cosmic expansion, arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, but their precise progenitor pathways remain unclear. Growing evide…
Expanding the ultracompacts: gravitational wave-driven mass transfer in the shortest-period binaries with accretion disks
Joheen Chakraborty, Kevin B. Burdge, Saul A. Rappaport +35
We report the discovery of three ultracompact binary white dwarf systems hosting accretion disks, with orbital periods of 7.95, 8.68, and 13.15 minutes. This significantly augments…
GERry: A Code to Optimise the Hunt for the Electromagnetic Counter-parts to Gravitational Wave Events
David O'Neill, Joseph Lyman, Kendall Ackley +19
The search for the electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) events has been rapidly gathering pace in recent years thanks to the increasing number and capabilities o…
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
Martin J. Dyer, Kendall Ackley, Felipe Jiménez-Ibarra +19
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a project dedicated to identifying optical counter-parts to gravitational-wave detections using a network of dedicated,…
Evidence of asymmetries in the Aldebaran photosphere from multi-wavelength lunar occultations
A. Richichi, V. Dyachenko, A. K. Pandey +6
We have recorded three lunar occultations of Aldebaran (AlfTau) at different telescopes and using various band-passes, from the ultraviolet to the far red. The data have been analy…
Wide-band Simultaneous Observations of Pulsars: Disentangling Dispersion Measure and Profile Variations
T. E. Hassall, B. W. Stappers, J. W. T. Hessels +91
Dispersion in the interstellar medium is a well known phenomenon that follows a simple relationship, which has been used to predict the time delay of dispersed radio pulses since t…
Search for p-mode oscillations in DA white dwarfs with VLT-ULTRACAM. I. Upper limits to the p-modes
Roberto Silvotti, Gilles Fontaine, Mike Pavlov +4
The main goal of this project is to search for p-mode oscillations in a selected sample of DA white dwarfs near the blue edge of the DAV (g-mode) instability strip, where the p-mod…
