SN 2026dix: a nearby, transitional Type IIb/Ib supernova consistent with a warm supergiant progenitor

Tamás Szalai, Schuyler D. Van Dyk, Dominik Bánhidi +20

Understanding the final evolution stages of (very) massive stars and their explosive outcomes, stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe), represent a long-term challenge for astrophysic…

The FU Ori outburst of PR Ori B

Carlos Contreras Pena, Zsofia Nagy, Gregory Herczeg +42

We report the discovery of a nearby FU Ori-type outburst (FUor), PR Ori B, in the L1641 cluster of the Orion star-forming region. The high-amplitude variability was first identifie…

Asgard/NOTT: Status of laboratory nulling performance

T. Mattheussen, R. Laugier, D. Defrère +26

Nulling interferometry enables the direct detection of faint companions and circumstellar structures at angular separations unresolvable by classical, diffraction-limited imagers,…

Asgard/NOTT: Cryogenic characterization of the mid-infrared chip

G. Garreau, D. Defrère, R. Laugier +25

NOTT is part of the new visitor instrument suite Asgard for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), and the first long-baseline nulling interferometer that will be operatio…

The IRT Telescope on board the THESEUS mission

Diego Gotz, Aline Meuris, Eric Doumayrou +28

We present the Infra-Red Telescope (IRT), which is part of the payload of the THESEUS mission, one on the three phase A candidate missions for the M7 slot of ESA (launch date 2037)…

The History of Galaxy Mergers in IllustrisTNG

Bendeguz Koncz, Istvan Horvath, András Péter Joó +2

The process of galaxy evolution over cosmic time is not yet fully understood, since there is a debate on the impact of galaxy collisions on the star formation and metallicity. The…

SN 2023ixf in M101: physical parameters from bolometric light curve modeling

J. Vinko, Zs. R. Bodola, A. Godeny +25

We present new photometric observations of the core-collapse supernova SN 2023ixf occurred in M101, taken with the RC80 and BRC80 robotic telescopes in Hungary. The initial nickel…

The 2023 outburst of the Gaia alerted EXor Gaia23bab

Zsófia Nagy, Ágnes Kóspál, Péter Ábrahám +33

Episodic accretion is a fundamental process in the build-up of the stellar mass. EX Lupi-type eruptive young stars (EXors) represent one of the main types of episodic accretion. We…

Interstellar gas motions around massive star formation regions in the nearby dwarf galaxy DDO 43

Enikő Pichler, Bendegúz Koncz, Krisztina É. Gabányi +2

Areas of massive star formation are strongly influenced by stellar winds and supernovae, therefore, enhanced turbulent flows are expected. We analyse high-quality Karl G. Jansky Ve…

Asgard/NOTT: First lab assembly and experimental results

G. Garreau, A. Bigioli, R. Laugier +17

Asgard/NOTT is an ERC-funded project hosted at KU Leuven and is part of a new visitor instrumental suite, called Asgard, under preparation for the Very Large Telescope Interferomet…

L-band nulling interferometry at the VLTI with Asgard/NOTT: status and plans

Denis Defrère, Romain Laugier, Marc-Antoine Martinod +43

NOTT (formerly Hi-5) is the L'-band (3.5-4.0~microns) nulling interferometer of Asgard, an instrument suite in preparation for the VLTI visitor focus. The primary scientific object…

NEOWISE-R Caught the Luminous SN 2023ixf in Messier 101

Schuyler D. Van Dyk, Tamas Szalai, Roc M. Cutri +16

The reactivated Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE-R) serendipitously caught the Type II supernova SN 2023ixf in Messier 101 on the rise, starting day 3…

Mapping the Universe with Gamma-Ray Bursts

Istvan Horvath, Zsolt Bagoly, Lajos G. Balazs +7

We explore large-scale cosmic structure using the spatial distribution of 542 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) having accurately measured positions and spectroscopic redshifts. Prominent co…
