Rapid Variability and Broadband Spectral Modeling in the Flaring Activity of BL Lacertae
Xin Chang, Dingrong Xiong, Chenxu Liu +17
We report a multi-wavelength study of two flaring episodes of the blazar BL Lacertae during MJD 60500-60800 (9 July 2024 - 5 May 2025). The source reached a daily-averaged -ray…
Early Near-Infrared Excess and Rapid Disk-Corona Evolution in the Tidal Disruption Event 2024aepd
Yongxin Wu, Yanan Wang, Thomas M. Reynolds +38
We present multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) 2024aepd, spanning primarily the first 300 days after discovery. A prominent near-infrared (NIR)…
X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light
Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130
Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…
Black hole mass and optical radiation mechanism of the tidal disruption event AT 2023clx
Shiyan Zhong, Xian Xu, Xinlei Chen +5
We present the optical light curves of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT 2023clx in the declining phase, observed with Mephisto. Combining our light curve with the ASAS-SN and AT…
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.…
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…
A 12.4 day periodicity in a close binary system after a supernova
Ping Chen, Avishay Gal-Yam, Jesper Sollerman +37
Neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes are the remnants of massive star explosions. Most massive stars reside in close binary systems, and the interplay between the companion s…
