V407 Vul: a triple star system with an AM CVn detectable by gravitational wave observatories
James Munday, Antonio C. Rodriguez, Nicole Reindl +23
The AM CVn class includes mass transferring, ultra-compact double white dwarf binaries with orbital periods on the timescale of minutes. A long-standing puzzle is that none of the…
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…
The Double Tidal Disruption Event AT 2022dbl Implies That at Least Some "Standard" Optical TDEs are Partial Disruptions
Lydia Makrygianni, Iair Arcavi, Megan Newsome +37
Flares produced following the tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes can reveal the properties of the otherwise dormant majority of black holes and the physics of ac…
A gravitational wave detectable candidate Type Ia supernova progenitor
Emma T. Chickles, Kevin B. Burdge, Joheen Chakraborty +37
Type Ia supernovae, critical for studying cosmic expansion, arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, but their precise progenitor pathways remain unclear. Growing evide…
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,…
