An Off-Nuclear Tidal Disruption Event Discovered At Late Times: The Case Of TDE 2023mfm

Itai Sfaradi, Ryan Chornock, Yuhan Yao +24

We present the discovery and analysis of the optically selected tidal disruption event (TDE) 2023mfm, which originates from a wandering massive black hole (MBH) in a massive ($\sim…

SN 2024afyu interpreted as a Pair Instability Supernova

P. J. Pessi, S. Barmentloo, Ł. Wyrzykowski +63

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are the predicted explosions of very massive stars triggered by electron-positron pair production. Numerous transients have been proposed as PIS…

Peak 'Nebular' Emission and Early Flux Excesses in Ca-strong Supernovae

C. -G. Touchard-Paxton, K. Maguire, C. Frohmaier +27

Calcium-strong supernovae (Ca-strong SNe) are a class of thermonuclear transient characterised by rapid photometric evolution (rise times of <= 16 d) and nebular-phase spectra domi…

Leveraging Multimodality for Real-Time Classification of Transients and Variables found by the Zwicky Transient Facility

Ved G. Shah, Nabeel Rehemtulla, Adam A. Miller +13

Modern time-domain surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) generate hundreds of thousands of alerts each night, making real-time decisions for follow-up observations a…

An analysis of the Type Ia SN 2024gy and a comparison of different host extinction estimation techniques

Jacco H. Terwel, Kate Maguire, Cillian O'Donnell +38

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are well-known standardisable candles, and are one of the main ways to measure the distance to their host galaxies. However, extinction due to interstel…

SN~2018erx: A fast-evolving, dust-reddened Type Icn supernova with broad C II emission lines

Kaustav K. Das, Anjasha Gangopadhyay, Mansi M. Kasliwal +17

We present the discovery and characterization of SN~2018erx (ZTF18abkmbpy), a fast-evolving, unusually red, interacting stripped-envelope supernova. Spectroscopically, SN~2018erx s…
