ENGRAVE follow-up of a type IIb supernova spatially coincident with the sub-threshold gravitational wave trigger S250818k

K. Ackley, M. T. Botticella, A. Boye +54

The candidate gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k was one of only three non-retracted LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA public alerts issued during the fourth observing run of the network (O4) w…

SN 2022joj: A Peculiar Type Ia Supernova Possibly Driven by an Asymmetric Helium-shell Double Detonation

Chang Liu, Adam A. Miller, Samuel J. Boos +28

We present observations of SN 2022joj, a peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). SN 2022joj exhibits an unusually red $g_\mathrm{ZTF}-…

Delayed Appearance and Evolution of Coronal Lines in the TDE AT2019qiz

P. Short, A. Lawrence, M. Nicholl +17

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star gets torn apart by a supermassive black hole as it crosses its tidal radius. We present late-time optical and X-ray observations of…

JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger

A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80

The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…

A Precursor Plateau and Pre-Maximum [O II] Emission in the Superluminous SN2019szu: A Pulsational Pair-Instability Candidate

Aysha Aamer, Matt Nicholl, Anders Jerkstrand +29

We present a detailed study on SN2019szu, a Type I superluminous supernova at , that displayed unique photometric and spectroscopic properties. Pan-STARRS and ZTF forced p…
