A search for minute-time-scale flares from the transient AT\,2024wpp
Eran O. Ofek, Lior Ozer, Ruslan Konno +21
The AT 2018cow-like fast blue optical transient AT2022tsd showed a large number of few-minute-duration, high-luminosity (~10^43 erg/s) flares. We present an intensive search for su…

The Host Galaxies of Fast Radio Bursts Track a Combination of Stellar Mass and Star Formation, Similar to Type Ia Supernovae
Asaf Horowicz, Ben Margalit
We develop a new statistical framework for studying the host galaxies of astrophysical sources that accounts for both redshift evolution and the multi-variate nature of host-galaxy…
