A spectacular multi-wavelength transient associated with an off-axis relativistic jet
Delina Levine, Gregg Hallinan, Jean J. Somalwar +10
Many of the most luminous extragalactic transients originate from the accretion of material onto a black hole (BH) via core-collapse, stellar mergers, or the tidal disruption of a…
Revisiting GW170817 at milliarcsecond scale: high-precision constraints on jet geometry and
Kelly Gourdji, Adam T. Deller, Chris Flynn +4
The historic detection of gravitational waves from the electromagnetically bright binary neutron star merger GW170817 enabled the first standard siren measurement of Hubble's const…
Las Cumbres Observatory Gravitational-Wave Follow-up in the Third and Fourth Observing Runs: Strengths and Weaknesses of a Rapid Response Galaxy Targeted Strategy
Ido Keinan, Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell +34
We present a summary of gravitational-wave (GW) follow-up using the Las Cumbres Observatory global network of telescopes during the third (O3) and fourth (O4) observing runs of the…
AT2018cow Powered by a Shock in Aspherical Circumstellar Media
Taya Govreen-Segal, Ehud Nakar, Kenta Hotokezaka +2
We present a quantitative model for the luminous fast blue optical transient AT2018cow in which a shock propagating through an aspherical circumstellar medium (CSM) produces the X-…
Tidal disruption of a magnetized star
Pavel Abolmasov, Omer Bromberg, Amir Levinson +1
Tidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes in galactic centers (TDEs) are now being actively studied both theoretically and observationally. They are observed throughou…
GRB 250704B: An Off-axis Short GRB with a Long-Lived Afterglow Plateau
Vishwajeet Swain, Tomás Ahumada, Sameer K. Patil +27
We present a detailed multi-wavelength afterglow study of the short GRB 250704B, extensively monitored in optical and near-infrared bands. Its afterglow displays an unusually long-…
