Long-term optical and near-infrared photometric evolution of SN 2019vxm, an interacting Type IIn supernova
Klára Lelkes, László Molnár, József Vinkó +12
The diversity of Type IIn supernovae is largely driven by the properties of the circumstellar material (CSM) they explode into. We examine the temporal evolution of SN 2019vxm, an…

Réka Könyves-Tóth, Zsófia Bodola, Tamás Szalai +24
{Supernova (SN) siblings are powerful tools used to calibrate and improve distance measurement methods, and to make the systematic uncertainty to distances to their host galaxies c…
Interferometric Images of the Starspot Evolution of Andromedae
Rachael M. Roettenbacher, John D. Monnier, Heidi Korhonen +21
The evolution of starspots of the giant primaries of RS CVn systems is typically detected indirectly with photometric and spectroscopic monitoring. These observations suggest slowl…
Sub-second cadence structure of optical flares on AD Leo
B. Schmercz, B. Seli, K. Vida +4
Stellar flares are sudden brightenings caused by magnetic reconnection and are frequently observed on late-type stars. High-cadence photometry of flares provides valuable insights…
Magnetic activity on the young Sun: a case study of EK Draconis
A. Görgei, L. Kriskovics, K. Vida +8
Context. Young, solar analogue stars provide key insights into the early stages of stellar evolution, particularly in terms of magnetic activity and rotation. Their rapid rotation,…
SN 2023ixf in M101: physical parameters from bolometric light curve modeling
J. Vinko, Zs. R. Bodola, A. Godeny +25
We present new photometric observations of the core-collapse supernova SN 2023ixf occurred in M101, taken with the RC80 and BRC80 robotic telescopes in Hungary. The initial nickel…
Short- and long-term variations of the high mass accretion rate classical T Tauri star DR Tau
Gabriella Zsidi, Ágnes Kóspál, Péter Ábrahám +20
Classical T Tauri stars are newly formed, low mass stars which may display both periodic and random variations in their brightness. The interaction between the star and its circums…
The 2023 outburst of the Gaia alerted EXor Gaia23bab
Zsófia Nagy, Ágnes Kóspál, Péter Ábrahám +33
Episodic accretion is a fundamental process in the build-up of the stellar mass. EX Lupi-type eruptive young stars (EXors) represent one of the main types of episodic accretion. We…
Transit-timing variations in the AU Mic system observed with CHEOPS
Á. Boldog, Gy. M. Szabó, L. Kriskovics +86
AU Mic is a very active M dwarf with an edge-on debris disk and two transiting sub-Neptunes with a possible third planetary companion. The two transiting planets exhibit significan…
A possible misaligned orbit for the young planet AU Mic c
H. Yu, Z. Garai, M. Cretignier +98
The AU Microscopii planetary system is only 24 Myr old, and its geometry may provide clues about the early dynamical history of planetary systems. Here, we present the first measur…
Stellar flare morphology with TESS across the main sequence
Bálint Seli, Krisztián Vida, Katalin Oláh +5
Stellar flares are abundant in space photometric light curves. As they are now available in large enough numbers, the statistical study of their overall temporal morphology is time…
