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 nearby He-rich superluminous supernova SN 2021bnw during photospheric phases
A. Fiore, A. Kozyreva, L. Yan +40
Aim. We present and interpret the data of the nearby hydrogen-deficient but helium-rich superluminous supernova SN 2021bnw which reached a magnitude of -20.7 at maximum luminosity…
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…
Photometric classification of supernovae detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility using noise augmentation
A. Townsend, J. Nordin, M. Kowalski +27
Modern time-domain surveys, such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), detect far more extragalactic transients than can be spectroscopically classified. Photometric classificati…
The radio flare and multi-wavelength afterglow of the short GRB 231117A: energy injection from a violent shell collision
G. E. Anderson, G. P. Lamb, B. P. Gompertz +64
We present the early radio detection and multi-wavelength modeling of the short gamma-ray burst (GRB) 231117A at redshift . The Australia Telescope Compact Array automatic…
