Now you see me, now you don't: Deep, long-lived obscuration events of white dwarfs by dust and debris from disintegrating planetesimals

J. van Roestel, S. Bhattacharjee, J. A. Guidry +22

Transiting dust and debris around white dwarfs provide a direct view of planetary disruption. We report six previously non-variable white dwarfs that underwent single, deep obscura…

Spectroscopic Classification of Extragalactic Transients from CRTS

A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, M. J. Graham +5

The Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) carried out a public survey for optical transients between 2007 and 2019, discovering more than 16,000 transient candidates. Here we…

Eclipsing white dwarf from the Zwicky Transient Facility: II. Seven eclipsing double white dwarfs

J. van Roestel, K. Burdge, I. Caiazzo +15

In a systematic search for eclipsing white dwarfs using Zwicky transient facility (ZTF) data, we found seven eclipsing double white dwarfs with orbital periods ranging from 45 minu…

QZO: A Catalog of 5 Million Quasars from the Zwicky Transient Facility

S. J. Nakoneczny, M. J. Graham, D. Stern +11

Machine learning methods are well established in the classification of quasars (QSOs). However, the advent of light curve observations adds a great amount of complexity to the prob…

MALS-NOT: Identifying Radio-Bright Quasars for the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey

J. -K. Krogager, N. Gupta, P. Noterdaeme +6

We present a preparatory spectroscopic survey to identify radio-bright, high-redshift quasars for the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS). The candidates have been selected on th…

Gamma rays from the quasar PKS 1441+25: story of an escape

A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +103

Outbursts from gamma-ray quasars provide insights on the relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei and constraints on the diffuse radiation fields that fill the Universe. The det…
