SN 2024aecx: A double-peaked rapidly evolving Type IIb supernova at 11 Mpc
Xingzhu Zou, Brajesh Kumar, Rishabh Singh Teja +28
We present the results of low-resolution spectroscopic and densely sampled multi-band photometric follow-up of supernova (SN) 2024aecx. The SN was discovered in the spiral galaxy N…
Spectral Hardening Reveals Afterglow Emergence in Long-Duration Fast X-ray Transients: A Case Study of GRB 250404A/EP250404a
Yi-Han Iris Yin, Yuan Fang, Bin-Bin Zhang +56
The prompt emission and afterglow phases of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been extensively studied, yet the transition between these two phases remains inadequately characterized du…
A Practical Framework for Weight Map Construction in CCD Photometry
Dezi Liu, Yuan Fang
This note presents a practical formulation for constructing weight maps in CCD photometry, accounting for various noise contributions under the assumption of statistical independen…
:Mephisto Early Supernovae Ia Rapid Identifier
Zhang Lunwei, Wang Zhenyu, Liu Dezi +5
The early time observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) play a crucial role in investigating and resolving longstanding questions about progenitor stars and the explosion mechan…
Early-phase simultaneous multiband observations of the Type II supernova SN 2024ggi with Mephisto
Xinlei Chen, Brajesh Kumar, Xinzhong Er +24
We present early-phase good-cadence (hour-to-day) simultaneous multiband ( and bands) imaging of the nearby supernova SN~2024ggi, which exploded in the nearby galaxy, NG…
Multiband Simultaneous Photometry of Type II SN 2023ixf with Mephisto and the Twin 50-cm Telescopes
Yuan-Pei Yang, Xiangkun Liu, Yu Pan +13
SN 2023ixf, recently reported in the nearby galaxy M101 at a distance of , was one of the closest and brightest core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) in the last decade.…
