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…
Apsidal motion and TESS light curves of two southern eclipsing binaries with high eccentricity: V1647 Sgr and V2283 Sgr
Marek Wolf, Petr Zasche, Miloslav Zejda +1
The study of apsidal motion rates in eccentric eclipsing binaries provides an important observational test of theoretical models of stellar structure and evolution. Precise physica…
Circini: A massive hierarchical triple system with an eclipsing binary
J. Å vrÄková, P. Harmanec, R. Klement +6
Circini is known to be a massive multiple system containing a 3.9 d inner eclipsing binary in a slightly elliptical orbit exhibiting slow apsidal motion and a distant tertiary…
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,…
