Identification of low redshift groups and clusters of galaxies in the X-CLASS survey and the X-ray luminosity-temperature relation
Q. Moysan, F. Sarron, N. Clerc +16
Properties of the hot intracluster and intragroup medium are mostly set by the underlying gravitational potential well, although complex astrophysical processes at play during thei…
GRB 241030A: a bright afterglow challenging forward shock emission
J. -G. Ducoin, C. Pellouin, V. Aivazyan +97
Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 241030A (z = 1.411) exhibited a bright afterglow (similar to GRB 221009A), detected across gamma-ray, X-ray, UV, and optical bands, providing a probe of GRB aft…
Multi-epoch afterglow rebrightenings in GRB 250129A: Evidence for successive shock interactions
D. Akl, S. Antier, H. Koehn +105
Most long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit afterglows broadly consistent with external forward-shock emission, typically described by smooth broken power-law decays in the multiband…
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS: discovery and physical description
Bryce T. Bolin, Matthew Belyakov, Christoffer Fremling +18
We describe the physical characteristics of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, discovered on 2025 July 1 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System. The comet has eccentricity,…
Limits on the Ejecta Mass During the Search for Kilonovae Associated with Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers: A case study of S230518h, GW230529, S230627c and the Low-Significance Candidate S240422ed
M. Pillas, S. Antier, K. Ackley +78
Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers, detectable via their gravitational-wave (GW) emission, are expected to produce kilonovae (KNe). Four NSBH candidates have been identified an…
