BlackGEM observations of compact pulsating stars: Mode identification for the DOV PG 1159-035 using multi-colour photometry

P. Ranaivomanana, C. Johnston, M. Uzundag +10

While space-based telescopes offer unparalleled precision for asteroseismology, ground-based observations remain crucial for identifying compact pulsator candidates and enabling th…

A catalog to unite them all: REGALADE, a revised galaxy compilation for the advanced detector era

Hugo Tranin, Nadejda Blagorodnova, Marco A. Gómez-Muñoz +10

Many applications in transient science, gravitational wave follow-up, and galaxy population studies require all-sky galaxy catalogs with reliable distances, extents, and stellar ma…

The kangaroo's first hop: the early fast cooling phase of EP250108a/SN 2025kg

Rob A. J. Eyles-Ferris, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +52

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a rare and poorly understood population of events. Previously difficult to detect in real time, the launch of the Einstein Probe with its wide fiel…

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)…

Hertzsprung gap stars in nearby galaxies and the Quest for Luminous Red Novae Progenitors

Hugo Tranin, Nadejda Blagorodnova, Viraj Karambelkar +5

After the main sequence phase, stars more massive than 2.5 M rapidly evolve through the Hertzsprung gap as yellow giants and supergiants (YSG), before settling into the red…
