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…
Tracing Active Galactic Nuclei Properties Through a Changing-look Event
Joel Carpenter, Sandra Raimundo, Charlotte Angus +1
Changing-look transitions challenge our understanding of active galactic nuclei (AGN), exhibiting dramatic changes in broad-line emission and continuum flux on timescales of months…
A Large-Scale Search for Photometrically Variable AGNs in Dwarf Galaxies Using the Young Supernova Experiment
Alexander Messick, Vivienne Baldassare, David O. Jones +12
We conduct an analysis of over 60,000 dwarf galaxies (7<=log(M_*/M_\odot)<=10) in search of photometric variability indicative of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Using data from the…
AT 2020nov: Evidence for Disk Reprocessing in a Rare Tidal Disruption Event
Nicholas Earl, K. Decker French, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +23
We present a detailed analysis of AT 2020nov, a tidal disruption event (TDE) in the center of its host galaxy, located at a redshift of . AT 2020nov exhibits unique feat…
