A Unified Timescale Relation for Quasi-Periodic Eruptions and Repeated Nuclear Transients

Shifeng Huang, Tinggui Wang, Ning Jiang +9

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) and recurrent nuclear transients (RNTs) exhibit recurrent high-amplitude flares from galactic nuclei, yet their characteristic timescales remain poo…

X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light

Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130

Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…

Mapping the Dense Circumstellar Environments of SNe Ibn, SNe Icn, and Fast Blue Optical Transients

Kang-Rui Ni, Yu-Hao Zhang, Liang-Duan Liu +2

SNe Ibn and SNe Icn are stripped-envelope explosions whose optical emission is commonly linked to interaction with H-poor circumstellar material (CSM), whereas fast blue optical tr…

Discovery of a Featureless Tidal Disruption Event at z~1 with the Wide Field Survey Telescope

Jiazheng Zhu, Zelin Xu, Ning Jiang +31

We report the discovery of tidal disruption event (TDE) WFST250820mmsw/AT2025wet by the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST). It exhibits a blue nuclear flare throughout th…

Electromagnetic Follow-up of the Sub-Solar Mass Gravitational Wave Candidate S251112cm: Kilonova Constraints and a Coincident IIb Supernova

Xander J. Hall, Tomas Ahumada, Julius Gassert +25

On November 12th, 2025 the LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA (LVK) collaboration reported gravitational waves (GWs) from a compact object merger candidate (S251112cm) with at least one sub-solar…

Illuminating the Mass Gap Through Deep Optical Constraint on a Neutron Star Merger Candidate S250206dm

Zhengyan Liu, Zelin Xu, Ji-an Jiang +35

The gravitational wave (GW) event S250206dm, as the first well-localized neutron star merger candidate potentially located in the mass gap, presented a unique opportunity to probe…

A Systematic Search for Active Galactic Nucleus Flares in ZTF Data Release 23

Lei He, Zheng-Yan Liu, Rui Niu +13

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are known to exhibit stochastic variability across a wide range of timescales and wavelengths. AGN flares are extreme outbursts that deviate from this…

A systematic search for rapid transients in the Subaru HSC-SSP transient survey

Seiji Toshikage, Masaomi Tanaka, Naoki Yasuda +9

Recent high-cadence transient surveys have discovered rapid transients whose light curve timescales are shorter than those of typical supernovae. In this paper, we present a system…

The unluckiest star: A spectroscopically confirmed repeated partial tidal disruption event AT 2022dbl

Zheyu Lin, Ning Jiang, Tinggui Wang +13

The unluckiest star orbits a supermassive black hole elliptically. Every time it reaches the pericenter, it shallowly enters the tidal radius and gets partially tidal disrupted, pr…

AT2023lli: A Tidal Disruption Event with Prominent Optical Early Bump and Delayed Episodic X-ray Emission

Shifeng Huang, Ning Jiang, Jiazheng Zhu +42

High-cadence, multiwavelength observations have continuously revealed the diversity of tidal disruption events (TDEs), thus greatly advancing our knowledge and understanding of TDE…
