Brightness, Colour, Polarisation: A Multi-Instrument Observation Campaign of the Gorizont-6 Satellite
Robert J. S Airey, Paul Chote, Klaas Wiersema +15
We present a coordinated multi-instrument photometric and polarimetric study of the defunct geosynchronous satellite, Gorizont-6. This observation campaign combined wide-field mult…
SN 2024abfl: A Low-Luminosity Type IIP Supernova in NGC 2146 from a Low-Mass Red Supergiant Progenitor
Xiaohan Chen, Ning-Chen Sun, Qiang Xi +44
Type IIP supernovae (SNe IIP) exhibit a significant diversity in their explosion properties, yet the physical mechanisms driving this diversity remain unknown. In this work, we pre…
SN 2024aecx: a fast-evolving Type IIb supernova with a prominent shock-cooling peak
Qiang Xi, Ning-Chen Sun, David Aguado +36
SN 2024aecx is a nearby (11 Mpc) Type IIb SN discovered within 1 d after explosion. In this paper we report high-cadence photometric (typically 0.51 day) and spec…
SN 2025coe: A Multiple-Peaked Calcium-Strong Transient from A White-Dwarf Progenitor
Chun Chen, Ning-Chen Sun, Qiang Xi +25
SN 2025coe is a calcium-strong transient located at an extremely large projected offset 39.3 kpc from the center of its host, the nearby early-type galaxy NGC 3277 at a dista…
GRB 241105A: A test case for GRB classification and rapid r-process nucleosynthesis channels
Dimple, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +85
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) offer a powerful window to probe the progenitor systems responsible for the formation of heavy elements through the rapid neutron capture (r-) process, than…
EP241021a: a months-duration X-ray transient with luminous optical and radio emission
Shu Xinwen, Yang Lei, Yang Haonan +82
We present the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP241021a, by the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, and the results from multiwavelength follow-up observations. The transient wa…
