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…
The Progenitor of the Type II-Plateau SN 2025pht in NGC 1637: The Dustiest, Most Luminous Red Supergiant So Far?
Schuyler D. Van Dyk, Tamas Szalai, Gagandeep S. Anand +14
We provide a characterization of the red supergiant (RSG) progenitor candidate for the nearby Type II-plateau supernova (SN) 2025pht in NGC 1637. The star was first detectable in 2…
Period-Luminosity Relations, projection factor and radii of Anomalous Cepheids
Piotr Wielgórski, Grzegorz PietrzyÅski, Wolfgang Gieren +24
Anomalous Cepheids are radially pulsating stars observed in dwarf galaxies, the Galactic bulge and halo, and globular clusters. Similarly to other radially pulsating stars, they ca…
Time-Domain Photometry and Activity Evolution of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS with BHTOM
A. Fraser Gillan, Åukasz Wyrzykowski, PrzemysÅaw J. MikoÅajczyk +69
Time-domain photometric monitoring is essential for characterizing cometary evolution, particularly for rare interstellar objects with limited observing opportunities. We aimed to…
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…
Repeating flares, X-ray outbursts and delayed infrared emission: A comprehensive compilation of optical tidal disruption events
D. A. Langis, I. Liodakis, K. I. I. Koljonen +10
TDEs have been proposed as valuable laboratories for studying dormant black holes. However, progress in this field has been hampered by the limited number of observed events. In th…
