Continuum Reverberation in Bright Quasars Using NASA/ATLAS

Zachary Steyn, Christian Wolf, Christopher Onken +5

Variable continuum emission from AGN can be used to probe the structure of their accretion disks via reverberation mapping. Assuming a variable, hot inner light source irradiates t…

An Archival Optical Counterpart Search for Extragalactic Fast X-Ray Transients Discovered by Einstein Probe

Run-Duo Liang, Wen-Xiong Li, Liang-Duan Liu +50

Extragalactic fast X-ray transients (eFXTs) represent a rapidly growing class of high-energy phenomena, whose physical origins remain poorly understood. With its wide-field, sensit…

EP 250108a/SN 2025kg: Observations of the most nearby Broad-Line Type Ic Supernova following an Einstein Probe Fast X-ray Transient

J. C. Rastinejad, A. J. Levan, P. G. Jonker +66

With a small sample of fast X-ray transients (FXTs) with multi-wavelength counterparts discovered to date, the progenitors of FXTs and their connections to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)…

Super-SNID : an expanded set of SNID classes and templates for the new era of wide-field surveys

Dylan Magill, Michael D. Fulton, Matt Nicholl +4

We present an expanded template library for the supernova identification (SNID) software, along with updated source files that make it easy to merge our templates - and other major…

An Updated Detection Pipeline for Precursor Emission in Type II Supernova 2020tlf

Wynn Jacobson-Galán, Sebastian Gonzalez, Shreyas Patel +34

We present a new photometric pipeline for the detection of pre-supernova (pre-SN) emission in the Young Supernova Experiment (YSE) sky survey. The method described is applied to SN…

The Extremely Metal-Poor SN 2023ufx: A Local Analog to High-Redshift Type II Supernovae

Michael A. Tucker, Jason Hinkle, Charlotte R. Angus +26

We present extensive observations of the Type II supernova (SN II) 2023ufx which is likely the most metal-poor SN II observed to-date. It exploded in the outskirts of a low-metalli…
