SN 2024afyu interpreted as a Pair Instability Supernova
P. J. Pessi, S. Barmentloo, Ł. Wyrzykowski +63
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are the predicted explosions of very massive stars triggered by electron-positron pair production. Numerous transients have been proposed as PIS…
Two young open clusters in Cygnus and their vicinity: combining multicolor photometry with Gaia DR3 astrometry
S. Raudeliūnas, R. P. Boyle, R. Janusz +6
We investigate two neighboring clusters in the Cygnus complex, Berkeley 86 and Berkeley 87, with a primary emphasis on the evaluation of extinction in the field of view towards and…
Gaia20fnr: A binary-lens microlensing event with full orbital motion revealed by four space telescopes
M. Wicker, Ł. Wyrzykowski, M. Hundertmark +49
The microlensing event Gaia20fnr is a long-duration, non-caustic-crossing binary-lens event at high Galactic latitude. Triggered by a photometric rise detected by the Gaia space mi…
Is the Symbiotic Recurrent Nova T CrB Late? Recent Photometric Evolution and Comparison with Past Pre-Outburst Behaviour
Jaroslav Merc, Łukasz Wyrzykowski, Paul G. Beck +46
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova that last erupted in 1946. Given its recurrence timescale of approximately 80 years, the next outburst is eagerly anticipated by the astronomica…
Dark lens candidates from Gaia Data Release 3
K. Kruszyńska, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. A. Rybicki +48
Gravitational microlensing is a phenomenon that allows us to observe dark remnants of stellar evolution even if they no longer emit electromagnetic radiation. In particular, it can…
Lens mass estimate in the Galactic disk extreme parallax microlensing event Gaia19dke
M. Maskoliūnas, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. Howil +74
We present the results of our analysis of Gaia19dke, an extraordinary microlensing event in the Cygnus constellation that was first spotted by the {\gaia} satellite. This event fea…
Single-lens mass measurement in the high-magnification microlensing event Gaia19bld located in the Galactic disc
K. A. Rybicki, Ł. Wyrzykowski, E. Bachelet +66
We present the photometric analysis of Gaia19bld, a high-magnification () microlensing event located in the southern Galactic plane, which exhibited finite source and m…
Lens parameters for Gaia18cbf -- a long gravitational microlensing event in the Galactic plane
Katarzyna Kruszyńska, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. A. Rybicki +29
Context: The timescale of a microlensing event scales as a square root of a lens mass. Therefore, long-lasting events are important candidates for massive lenses, including black h…
Gaia 18dvy: a new FUor in the Cygnus OB3 association
E. Szegedi-Elek, P. Ábrahám, L. Wyrzykowski +59
We present optical-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of Gaia18dvy, located in the Cygnus OB3 association at a distance of 1.88 kpc. The object was noted by the Ga…
Young open cluster IC 4996 and its vicinity: multicolor photometry and Gaia DR2 astrometry
V. Straižys, R. P. Boyle, K. Milašius +9
The open cluster IC 4996 in Cygnus and its vicinity are investigated by applying a two-dimensional photometric classification of stars measured in the Vilnius seven-color photometr…
Full orbital solution for the binary system in the northern Galactic disc microlensing event Gaia16aye
Łukasz Wyrzykowski, P. Mróz, K. A. Rybicki +182
Gaia16aye was a binary microlensing event discovered in the direction towards the northern Galactic disc and was one of the first microlensing events detected and alerted to by the…
The distance to the young cluster NGC 7129 and its age
V. Straizys, M. Maskoliunas, R. P. Boyle +6
The dust cloud TGU H645 P2 and embedded in it young open cluster NGC 7129 are investigated using the results of medium-band photometry of 159 stars in the Vilnius seven-colour syst…
