The ePESSTO+ census of ZTF nuclear transients. I. What flares in galactic nuclei?
E. Concepción, T. Petrushevska, G. Leloudas +21
Transients in galactic nuclei arise from distinct processes, only some of which trace the supermassive black hole (SMBH). These include tidal disruption events (TDEs), changing-loo…
The Rubin Observatory Target-of-Opportunity System in the First Year of Operations
Sean Patrick MacBride, R. Lynne Jones, Peter Yoachim +41
The NSF/DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a discovery machine, with unprecedented survey speed, which can be used to identify exotic astrophysical transients. In its prime mission,…
Toward decision-aware AI for LSST-scale time-domain astronomy
C. R. Bom, A. Mahabal, F. Bianco +27
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will generate approximately (10^7) alerts per night, pushing time-domain astronomy beyond pipelines that trea…
Insights from GRBs for optical follow-up of gravitational wave counterparts
Kruthi Krishna, Andrew Levan, Samaya Nissanke +9
Identifying the electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave sources is vital to enabling the myriad of investigations possible with multimessenger astronomy. However, locati…
Rubin ToO 2024: Envisioning the Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST Target of Opportunity program
Igor Andreoni, Raffaella Margutti, John Banovetz +86
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at Vera C. Rubin Observatory is planned to begin in the Fall of 2025. The LSST survey cadence has been designed via a community-driven pr…
Rubin Observatory's Survey Strategy Performance for Tidal Disruption Events
K. Bučar Bricman, S. van Velzen, M. Nicholl +1
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) are rare transients, which are considered as promising tools in probing supermassive black holes in quiescent galaxies. The majority of …
The mass fallback rate of the debris in relativistic stellar tidal disruption events
Taj Jankovič, Andreja Gomboc
Highly energetic stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) provide a way to study black hole characteristics and their environment. We simulate TDEs with the PHANTOM code in a general…
GAME: Grb and All-sky Monitor Experiment
L. Amati, J. Braga, F. Frontera +20
We describe the GRB and All-sky Monitor Experiment (GAME) mission submitted by a large international collaboration (Italy, Germany, Czech Repubblic, Slovenia, Brazil) in response t…
The Sooner: a Large Robotic Telescope
G. Chincarini, M. Zannoni, S. Covino +30
The approach of Observational Astronomy is mainly aimed at the construction of larger aperture telescopes, more sensitive detectors and broader wavelength coverage. Certainly fruit…
Tidal Capture by a Black Hole and Flares in Galactic Centres
A. Gomboc, A. Cadez, M. Calvani +1
We present the telltale signature of the tidal capture and disruption of an object by a massive black hole in a galactic centre. As a result of the interaction with the black hole'…
