AT 2016blu: Accretion-Powered Outbursts in a Luminous Blue Variable and Compact Object Binary
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Núria Torres-Albà, Nathan Smith +33
We present the first X-ray detection of the supernova (SN) impostor AT 2016blu in NGC 4559. AT 2016blu exhibited 27 detected quasiperiodic (~113 day) outbursts between 2012 and Jun…
A survey for variable young stars with small telescopes - XI. Spot Lifetimes and Coverage Distributions
Dirk Froebrich, Carys Herbert, Aleks Scholz +47
We present a homogeneous analysis of rotational variability and spot properties in young stellar objects across multiple star-forming regions observed by the Hunting Outbursting Yo…
A probable inside-out dwarf nova outburst from the period bouncer candidate ASASSN-25dc
Yusuke Tampo, Naoto Kojiguchi, Mariko Kimura +13
We report optical time-resolved photometric observations of a newly-discovered outbursting system, ASASSN-25dc. Its 8-mag amplitude, 40-day duration, 1-mag dip in the outburst plat…
Gaia24ccy: An outburst followed the footsteps of its predecessor
Koshvendra Singh, Joe P. Ninan, Zhen Guo +25
Accretion-driven outbursts in young stellar objects remain poorly understood, largely limited by a statistically small sample of closely followed-up events. This underscores the im…
A multi-wavelength study of the 2025 low state of the intermediate polar BG CMi
A. W. Shaw, K. Mukai, C. O. Heinke +18
We present multi-wavelength observations of the first recorded low state of the intermediate polar BG CMi. Optical monitoring of the source by members of the American Association o…
Gaia20fnr: A binary-lens microlensing event with full orbital motion revealed by four space telescopes
M. Wicker, Å. Wyrzykowski, M. Hundertmark +49
The microlensing event Gaia20fnr is a long-duration, non-caustic-crossing binary-lens event at high Galactic latitude. Triggered by a photometric rise detected by the Gaia space mi…
