An Optically Led Search for Kilonovae to z0.3 with the Kilonova and Transients Program (KNTraP)
Natasha Van Bemmel, Jielai Zhang, Jeff Cooke +15
Compact binary mergers detectable in gravitational waves can be accompanied by a kilonova, an electromagnetic transient powered by radioactive decay of newly synthesised r-process…
Rubin ToO 2024: Envisioning the Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST Target of Opportunity program
Igor Andreoni, Raffaella Margutti, John Banovetz +86
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at Vera C. Rubin Observatory is planned to begin in the Fall of 2025. The LSST survey cadence has been designed via a community-driven pr…
Discovery and Detailed Study of the M31 Classical Nova AT 2023tkw: Evidence for Internal Shocks
Judhajeet Basu, Ravi Kumar, G. C. Anupama +11
We present a detailed analysis of an extragalactic slow classical nova in M31 exhibiting multiple peaks in its light curve. Spectroscopic and photometric observations were used to…
The Nature of Optical Afterglows Without Gamma-ray Bursts: Identification of AT2023lcr and Multiwavelength Modeling
Maggie L. Li, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Geoffrey Ryan +29
In the past few years, the improved sensitivity and cadence of wide-field optical surveys have enabled the discovery of several afterglows without associated detected gamma-ray bur…
Characterization of a peculiar Einstein Probe transient EP240408a: an exotic gamma-ray burst or an abnormal jetted tidal disruption event?
B. O'Connor, D. Pasham, I. Andreoni +30
We present the results of our multi-wavelength (X-ray to radio) follow-up campaign of the Einstein Probe transient EP240408a. The initial 10 s trigger displayed bright soft X-ray (…
ZTF SN Ia DR2: Overview
Mickael Rigault, Mathew Smith, Ariel Goobar +53
We present the first homogeneous release of several thousand Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), all having spectroscopic classification, and spectroscopic redshifts for half the sample.…
