Pan-STARRS follow-up of the gravitational-wave event S250818k and the lightcurve of SN 2025ulz

J. H. Gillanders, M. E. Huber, M. Nicholl +30

Kilonovae are the scientifically rich, but observationally elusive, optical transient phenomena associated with compact binary mergers. Only a handful of events have been discovere…

Orphan optical flare as SOSS emission afterglow, localization in time

V. Lipunov, V. Kornilov, K. Zhirkov +24

We report on MASTER optical observations of an afterglow-like optical and X-ray transient AT2021lfa/ZTF21aayokph. We detected the initial steady brightening of the transient at 7σ…

Optical Observations Reveal Strong Evidence for High Energy Neutrino Progenitor

V. M. Lipunov, V. G. Kornilov, K. K. Zhirkov +32

We present the earliest astronomical observation of a high energy neutrino error box in which its variability was discovered after high-energy neutrinos detection. The one robotic…

A Reverse Shock in GRB 181201A

Tanmoy Laskar, Hendrik van Eerten, Patricia Schady +26

We present comprehensive multiwavelength radio to X-ray observations of GRB 181201A spanning from s to days after the burst, comprising the first joint AL…

MASTER optical detection of the first LIGO/Virgo neutron stars merging GW170817

V. M. Lipunov, E. Gorbovskoy, V. G. Kornilov +30

Following the reported discovery of the gravitational-wave pulse GW170817/ G298048 by three LIGO/Virgo antennae (Abbott et al., 2017a), the MASTER Global Robotic Net telescopes obt…

Multiwavelength follow-up of a rare IceCube neutrino multiplet

M. G. Aartsen, M. Ackermann, J. Adams +501

On February 17 2016, the IceCube real-time neutrino search identified, for the first time, three muon neutrino candidates arriving within 100 s of one another, consistent with comi…
