Automatically distinguishing Rubin transients from AGN using variability metrics
Dylan Magill, Matt Nicholl, Philip Wiseman +7
Stochastic variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) can produce contaminants in the search for explosive extragalactic transients (such as supernovae and tidal disruption events…
One year of broadband radio monitoring of the enigmatic transient GRB 250702B reveals the evolution of the relativistic jet
A. J. Goodwin, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Itai Sfaradi +19
We present an extensive radio monitoring campaign of the unique extragalactic transient GRB 250702B, with observations spanning 0.65-233 GHz from 6-356 d (observer frame) post-disc…
Uncertainty-Aware Tidal Disruption Event Classification : A Host-Agnostic Probabilistic Random Forest Approach
Vysakh Anilkumar, Sjoert van Velzen, Marek Kowalski +1
The paper introduces a host‑agnostic, uncertainty‑aware classification framework using a Probabilistic Random Forest to identify tidal disruption events from photometric light curv…
Tidal disruption event Calorimetry: Observational constraints on the physics of TDE optical flares
Andrew Mummery, Brian Metzger, Sjoert van Velzen +1
Tidal disruption events are routinely discovered as bright optical/UV flares, the properties of which are now well categorized on the population level. The underlying physical proc…
MALLORN: Many Artificial LSST Lightcurves based on Observations of Real Nuclear transients
Dylan Magill, Matt Nicholl, Vysakh Anilkumar +10
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's 10-Year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to produce a hundredfold increase in the number of transients we observe. However, there…
Back from the dead: AT2019aalc as a candidate repeating TDE in an AGN
Patrik Milán Veres, Anna Franckowiak, Sjoert van Velzen +15
Context. To date, three nuclear transients have been associated with high-energy neutrino events. These transients are generally thought to be powered by tidal disruptions of stars…
