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…
Peak 'Nebular' Emission and Early Flux Excesses in Ca-strong Supernovae
C. -G. Touchard-Paxton, K. Maguire, C. Frohmaier +27
Calcium-strong supernovae (Ca-strong SNe) are a class of thermonuclear transient characterised by rapid photometric evolution (rise times of <= 16 d) and nebular-phase spectra domi…
The type Ia supernova 2023vjh: a peculiar 1991bg-like SN with unusually faint light curves
M. Kopsacheili, L. Galbany, G. Folatelli +32
We present observations of the 1991bg-like type Ia supernova (SN) 2023vjh, associated with the elliptical galaxy MCG+04-10-013. Its light-curve shape parameters ($Îm_{15}(B)=1.89…
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…
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…
