ZTF25abjmnps (AT2025ulz) and S250818k: A Candidate Superkilonova from a Sub-threshold Sub-Solar Gravitational Wave Trigger
Mansi M. Kasliwal, Tomas Ahumada, Robert Stein +61
On August 18, 2025, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration reported gravitational waves from a sub-threshold binary neutron star merger. If astrophysical, this event would have a surpr…
Mid-Infrared Dust Evolution and Late-time Circumstellar Medium Interaction in SN 2017eaw
Jeniveve Pearson, Bhagya Subrayan, David J. Sand +24
We present JWST/MIRI and complementary ground-based near-infrared observations of the Type II SN 2017eaw taken 6 years post-explosion. SN 2017eaw is still detected out to 25 m a…
JWST and Ground-based Observations of the Type Iax Supernovae SN 2024pxl and SN 2024vjm: Evidence for Weak Deflagration Explosions
Lindsey A. Kwok, Mridweeka Singh, Saurabh W. Jha +89
We present panchromatic optical near-infrared (NIR) mid-infrared (MIR) observations of the intermediate-luminosity Type Iax supernova (SN Iax) 2024pxl and the extremely low…
Photometry and Spectroscopy of SN 2024pxl: A Luminosity Link Among Type Iax Supernovae
Mridweeka Singh, Lindsey A. Kwok, Saurabh W. Jha +90
We present extensive ultraviolet to optical photometric and optical to near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic follow-up observations of the nearby intermediate-luminosity ($M_V = -16.81…
A Massive Black Hole 0.8 kpc from the Host Nucleus Revealed by the Offset Tidal Disruption Event AT2024tvd
Yuhan Yao, Ryan Chornock, Charlotte Ward +31
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) that are spatially offset from the nuclei of their host galaxies offer a new probe of massive black hole (MBH) wanderers, binaries, triples, and reco…
The BTSbot-nearby discovery of SN 2024jlf: rapid, autonomous follow-up probes interaction in an 18.5 Mpc Type IIP supernova
Nabeel Rehemtulla, W. V. Jacobson-Galán, Avinash Singh +27
We present observations of the Type IIP supernova (SN) 2024jlf, including spectroscopy beginning just 0.7 days (17 hours) after first light. Rapid follow-up was enabled by th…
