Aarmed with Data: Bumps, Outflows, and Disk-like Emission in TDE 2025aarm
Aysha Aamer, Kate D. Alexander, Charlotte R. Angus +43
The origin of the optical emission in tidal disruption events (TDEs) remains one of the major outstanding questions in the field, in part due to the limited number of nearby events…
Decadal pre-explosion activity and circumstellar interaction in a supernova
Ting-Wan Chen, Amar Aryan, Sheng Yang +52
When a massive star explodes as a supernova, crucial information about its immediate environment is lost within hours. Here we report rapid optical observations from Lulin Observat…
SN 2024iss: A Multi-Wavelength Exposé of a Type IIb Supernova with an Early-Time Ultraviolet Spectrum and Shock Breakout Constraints
Rujula Yete, Wynn Jacobson-Galan, Ferdinand Ferdinand +49
We present multi-wavelength observations and a comprehensive analysis of the nearby (D14 Mpc) Type IIb supernova (SN IIb) 2024iss. Observations of SN2024iss include an early…
An Archival Optical Counterpart Search for Extragalactic Fast X-Ray Transients Discovered by Einstein Probe
Run-Duo Liang, Wen-Xiong Li, Liang-Duan Liu +50
Extragalactic fast X-ray transients (eFXTs) represent a rapidly growing class of high-energy phenomena, whose physical origins remain poorly understood. With its wide-field, sensit…
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…
SN 2023taz: Implications for the UV Diversity of Superluminous Supernovae
Aysha Aamer, Matt Nicholl, Charlotte Angus +21
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are some of the brightest explosions in the Universe representing the extremes of stellar deaths. At the upper end of their distribution is SN\,202…
Spectral Diversity in Type Ibn Supernovae and the Large Host Offset of SN2024acyl
Yize Dong, V. Ashley Villar, Anya Nugent +35
In this paper, we first present observations of SN~2024acyl, a normal Type Ibn supernova with a large projected offset (35~kpc) from its host galaxy. The low star-formation r…
AT 2020nov: Evidence for Disk Reprocessing in a Rare Tidal Disruption Event
Nicholas Earl, K. Decker French, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +23
We present a detailed analysis of AT 2020nov, a tidal disruption event (TDE) in the center of its host galaxy, located at a redshift of . AT 2020nov exhibits unique feat…
Discovery and Extensive Follow-Up of SN 2024ggi, a nearby type IIP supernova in NGC 3621
Ting-Wan Chen, Sheng Yang, Shubham Srivastav +45
We present the discovery and early observations of the nearby Type II supernova (SN) 2024ggi in NGC 3621 at 6.64 +/- 0.3 Mpc. The SN was caught 5.8 (+1.9 -2.9) hours after its expl…
