An eclipsing 8.56 minute orbital period mass-transferring binary

Emma T. Chickles, Joheen Chakraborty, Kevin B. Burdge +34

We report the discovery of ATLAS J101342.5-451656.8 (hereafter ATLAS J1013-4516), an 8.56 minute orbital period mass transferring AM Canum Venaticorum binary with mean Gaia magnitu…

Discovery and Analysis of Afterglows from Poorly Localised GRBs with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) All-sky Survey

Amit Kumar, B. P. Gompertz, B. Schneider +86

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), particularly those detected by wide-field instruments such as the Fermi/GBM, pose a challenge for optical follow-up due to their large initial localisation…

Constraints on an optical counterpart for the long-period radio transient GPM J1839-10

Ingrid Pelisoli, A. J. Brown, N. Castro Segura +14

Long period radio transients (LPTs) are periodic radio sources showing pulsed emission on timescales from minutes to hours. The underlying sources behind this emission are currentl…

GRB 241105A: A test case for GRB classification and rapid r-process nucleosynthesis channels

Dimple, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +85

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) offer a powerful window to probe the progenitor systems responsible for the formation of heavy elements through the rapid neutron capture (r-) process, than…

A Sibling of AR Scorpii: SDSS J230641.47244055.8 and the Observational Blueprint of White Dwarf Pulsars

N. Castro Segura, I. Pelisoli, B. T. Gänsicke +21

Radio pulsating white dwarf (WD) systems, known as WD pulsars, are non-accreting binary systems where the rapidly spinning WD interacts with a low-mass companion producing pulsed n…

Analysis of optical spectroscopy and photometry of the type I X-ray bursting system UW CrB

M. R. Kennedy, P. Callanan, P. M. Garnavich +19

UW Coronae Borealis (UW CrB) is a low mass X-ray binary that shows both Type 1 X-ray and optical bursts, which typically last for 20 s. The system has a binary period of close to 2…
