AT 2024qfm: a luminous fast blue optical transient at a redshift of z = 0.2267 identified by Lasair-ZTF
M. Fulton, S. J. Smartt, S. Srivastav +20
Luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) emit from x-ray to radio wavelengths, epitomised by the discovery of AT 2018cow in a host galaxy at 65 Mpc. In the following eight ye…
The Peculiar Growth of Structure: Validating Measurements from TITAN Type Ia Supernovae and the Uchuu Simulations
Mitchell Dixon, David O. Jones, Nicole E. Drakos +11
The growth rate of cosmic structure, parameterized by , is a fundamental test of CDM and general relativity. Using Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) peculiar velocities in conju…
ATLAS100 -- I. A volume-limited sample of supernovae and related transients within 100 Mpc
Shubham Srivastav, Stephen J. Smartt, Thomas Moore +29
We present ATLAS100 -- a sample of 1729 supernovae and other explosive optical transients within Mpc observed by the ATLAS survey over a span of 5.75 years from 2017 Sep…
Probing a new subclass of llGRB-SN transients: Insights from EP250304a and its associated supernova
L. Cotter, A. Martin-Carrillo, R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris +60
With the advent of the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, we are entering a new era in the study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), enabling the detection of faint, low-luminosity transients th…
AT2024wpp: An Extremely Luminous Fast Ultraviolet Transient Powered by Accretion onto a Black Hole
Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Zoë McGrath +69
We present the discovery of AT 2024wpp ("Whippet"), a fast and luminous 18cow-like transient. At a redshift of z=0.0868, revealed by Keck Cosmic Web Imager spectroscopy of its fain…
Old Universe, Young SNe Ia: A Statistical Analysis of Type Ia Supernova Progenitor Age from 6,983 TITAN Host Galaxies, and Implications for Cosmology
Yukei Murakami, Jack Tweddle, Phil Wiseman +17
Correlations between standardized Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) luminosities and host-galaxy properties are routinely modeled to avoid bias in cosmological parameter inference. A recen…
