AT2025agpz in Rubin commissioning data: distinguishing a luminous interacting supernova from nuclear transients in compact galaxies
C. R. Angus, M. Quilt, H. F. Stevance +37
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time will discover unprecedented numbers of rare, long-lived optical transients, many of which will be too faint or too n…
Time-Domain Photometry and Activity Evolution of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS with BHTOM
A. Fraser Gillan, Åukasz Wyrzykowski, PrzemysÅaw J. MikoÅajczyk +69
Time-domain photometric monitoring is essential for characterizing cometary evolution, particularly for rare interstellar objects with limited observing opportunities. We aimed to…
Gaia20fnr: A binary-lens microlensing event with full orbital motion revealed by four space telescopes
M. Wicker, Å. 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…
A search for transit timing variations in the transiting hot Jupiter systems HIP 65, NGTS-6, NGTS-10 and WASP-173
A. W. Griffiths, J. Southworth, L. Alegre +30
Hot Jupiters are Jupiter-mass planets with orbital periods of less than ten days. Their short orbital separations make tidal dissipation within the stellar host especially efficien…
SETI Post-Detection Futures: Directions for Technosignature Research and Readiness
Kate Genevieve, Andjelka B. Kovacevic, John Elliott +12
This white paper highlights the work that is needed to anticipate the challenges and societal impacts of a possible technosignature detection. We recommend practical steps to stren…
The Orbit of WASP-4 b is in Decay
Ã. BaÅtürk, A. C. Kutluay, A. Barker +25
WASP-4 b is a hot Jupiter exhibiting a decreasing orbital period, prompting investigations into potential mechanisms driving its evolution. We analyzed 173 transit light curves, in…
