X-ray Through Radio Observations and Modeling of the Soft X-ray Flash GRB 250419A
Genevieve Schroeder, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Gavin P. Lamb +24
Soft X-ray flashes (XRFs) are predicted from a variety of hypothesized phenomena, including "dirty fireballs" (relativistic jets with significant baryon loading), and gamma-ray bur…
An Off-Nuclear Tidal Disruption Event Discovered At Late Times: The Case Of TDE 2023mfm
Itai Sfaradi, Ryan Chornock, Yuhan Yao +24
We present the discovery and analysis of the optically selected tidal disruption event (TDE) 2023mfm, which originates from a wandering massive black hole (MBH) in a massive ($\sim…
First Pre-peak Ultraviolet Spectrum of a Tidal Disruption Event: A Fast Outflow Revealed Prior to Maximum Light in TDE2025aarm
Erica Hammerstein, Ryan Chornock, Jean Somalwar +32
The tidal disruption and eventual accretion of a star by a massive black hole can lead to the launching of outflows and winds that encode important information about the tidal disr…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
An extremely fast fading population II dwarf nova candidate: caught spectroscopically on the rise
Natasha Van Bemmel, Jielai Zhang, Jeff Cooke +14
We present AT2022kak, a rapidly evolving optical transient discovered by the KiloNova and Transients Program (KNTraP). This interesting burst exhibited extremely fast evolution, wi…
Characterising EP241107a: Multiwavelength Observations of an Einstein Probe-detected Fast X-ray Transient
D. Eappachen, A. Balasubramanian, Vishwajeet Swain +12
Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) represent a new class of highly luminous transients in soft X-rays (0.3-10 keV) associated with violent astrophysical processes. They manifest as…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Comprehensive X-ray Observations of the Exceptional Ultra-long X-ray and Gamma-ray Transient GRB 250702B with Swift, NuSTAR, and Chandra: Insights from the X-ray Afterglow Properties
Brendan O'Connor, Ramandeep Gill, James DeLaunay +22
GRB 250702B is an exceptional transient that produced multiple episodes of luminous gamma-ray radiation lasting for ks, placing it among the class of ultra-long gamma-ray bur…
GRB 250704B: An Off-axis Short GRB with a Long-Lived Afterglow Plateau
Vishwajeet Swain, Tomás Ahumada, Sameer K. Patil +27
We present a detailed multi-wavelength afterglow study of the short GRB 250704B, extensively monitored in optical and near-infrared bands. Its afterglow displays an unusually long-…
Optical/infrared observations of the extraordinary GRB 250702B: a highly obscured afterglow in a massive galaxy consistent with multiple possible progenitors
Jonathan Carney, Igor Andreoni, Brendan O'Connor +31
GRB 250702B was the longest gamma-ray burst ever detected, with a duration that challenges standard collapsar models and suggests an exotic progenitor. We collected a rich set of o…
