Archival transients detected with the MeerLICHT telescope I: Supernovae
O. Mogawana, P. J. Groot, N. Blagorodnova +9
Wide-field optical transient surveys collectively discover 50 new transients per night, making rapid, multi-filter and/or spectroscopic follow-up of all but the most exceptio…
Discovery of a radio-flaring M dwarf in a commensal transient search of the LADUMA field
Moses Mlangeni, Patrick A. Woudt, Paul J. Groot +11
We report the discovery and characterisation of MKT J032848.4-271904.6, a new radio transient identified in the LADUMA field using SARAO Science Data Processor (SDP) UHF-band image…
ASASSN-24hd; a dwarf nova bridging WZ Sge-type and SU UMa-type superoutbursts
Yusuke Tampo, Naoto Kojiguchi, Taichi Kato +9
WZ Sge-type dwarf novae (DNe) form a subclass in cataclysmic variables, characterized by short-period variations called superhumps during an outburst. Here we present optical groun…
CSS161010: a luminous, fast blue optical transient with broad blueshifted hydrogen lines
Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Seppo Mattila, Peter Lundqvist +38
We present ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared photometric and optical spectroscopic observations of the luminous, fast blue optical transient (LFBOT), CSS161010:045834-081803 (…
