Multi-wavelength Observations of AT2019wey: a New Candidate Black Hole Low-mass X-ray Binary

Yuhan Yao, S. R. Kulkarni, Kevin B. Burdge +21

AT2019wey (SRGA J043520.9+552226, SRGE J043523.3+552234) is a transient first reported by the ATLAS optical survey in 2019 December. It rose to prominence upon detection, three mon…
