Failed jet breakout in the metal-poor broad-lined type Ic supernova 2026gzf

Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Christina C. Thöne, James K. Leung +103

A long-standing question in the death of massive stars is the role of relativistic jets. While many gamma-ray bursts and some fast X-ray transients seem to be associated with broad…

Early Multiwavelength Observations of AT 2026fgk: The Luminous Afterglow to Sub-luminous GRB 260310A, Identified Independently of a Gamma-ray Trigger

K. -R. Hinds, A. Y. Q. Ho, Y. Wagh +103

The origins of sub-luminous (\,erg\,s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with broad-lined Type~Ic supernovae (Ic-BL SNe) are poorly u…

Searching for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries in GOTO and ATLAS data

G. Ramsay, K. Ackley, S. Belkin +46

Symbiotic Binaries contain a white dwarf accreting material from a red giant star typically through a wind. We present the results of a search for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries…

Time-Domain Photometry and Activity Evolution of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS with BHTOM

A. Fraser Gillan, Łukasz Wyrzykowski, Przemysław J. Mikołajczyk +69

Time-domain photometric monitoring is essential for characterizing cometary evolution, particularly for rare interstellar objects with limited observing opportunities. We aimed to…

The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) data pipeline and workflow for transient discovery

J. D. Lyman, D. O'Neill, T. Killestein +45

Wide-field and high-cadence sky surveys are the first step in the chain of discovery and characterisation of astrophysical transients such as supernovae, kilonovae, and tidal disru…

GOTO identification and broadband modelling of the counterpart to the SVOM GRB 250818B

S. Belkin, G. P. Lamb, K. Ackley +61

Rapid localisation and follow-up of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) increasingly rely on low-latency triggers from new missions coupled to wide-field robotic optical facilities. We present…

Discovery and Analysis of Afterglows from Poorly Localised GRBs with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) All-sky Survey

Amit Kumar, B. P. Gompertz, B. Schneider +86

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), particularly those detected by wide-field instruments such as the Fermi/GBM, pose a challenge for optical follow-up due to their large initial localisation…

GERry: A Code to Optimise the Hunt for the Electromagnetic Counter-parts to Gravitational Wave Events

David O'Neill, Joseph Lyman, Kendall Ackley +19

The search for the electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) events has been rapidly gathering pace in recent years thanks to the increasing number and capabilities o…

The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)

Martin J. Dyer, Kendall Ackley, Felipe Jiménez-Ibarra +19

The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a project dedicated to identifying optical counter-parts to gravitational-wave detections using a network of dedicated,…

Liverpool Telescope follow-up of candidate electromagnetic counterparts during the first run of Advanced LIGO

C. M. Copperwheat, I. A. Steele, A. S. Piascik +17

The first direct detection of gravitational waves was made in late 2015 with the Advanced LIGO detectors. By prior arrangement, a worldwide collaboration of electromagnetic follow-…

LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing

M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245

The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
