Aarmed with Data: Bumps, Outflows, and Disk-like Emission in TDE 2025aarm
Aysha Aamer, Kate D. Alexander, Charlotte R. Angus +43
The origin of the optical emission in tidal disruption events (TDEs) remains one of the major outstanding questions in the field, in part due to the limited number of nearby events…
Discovery of a radio-flaring M dwarf in a commensal transient search of the LADUMA field
Moses Mlangeni, Patrick A. Woudt, Paul J. Groot +11
We report the discovery and characterisation of MKT J032848.4-271904.6, a new radio transient identified in the LADUMA field using SARAO Science Data Processor (SDP) UHF-band image…
A Faint Progenitor System for the Faint Supernova 2024vjm
Erez A. Zimmerman, Avishay Gal-Yam, Paul J. Groot +68
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are well known for their role as standardizable cosmological candles. Their uniformity is credited to their single origin as thermonuclear explosions of…
Textual interpretation of transient image classifications from large language models
Fiorenzo Stoppa, Turan Bulmus, Steven Bloemen +4
Modern astronomical surveys deliver immense volumes of transient detections, yet distinguishing real astrophysical signals (for example, explosive events) from bogus imaging artefa…
BGRem: A background noise remover for astronomical images based on a diffusion model
Rodney Nicolaas, Sascha Caron, Fiorenzo Stoppa +4
Context: Astronomical imaging aims to maximize signal capture while minimizing noise. Enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio directly on detectors is difficult and expensive, leading…
A catalog to unite them all: REGALADE, a revised galaxy compilation for the advanced detector era
Hugo Tranin, Nadejda Blagorodnova, Marco A. Gómez-Muñoz +10
Many applications in transient science, gravitational wave follow-up, and galaxy population studies require all-sky galaxy catalogs with reliable distances, extents, and stellar ma…
The kangaroo's first hop: the early fast cooling phase of EP250108a/SN 2025kg
Rob A. J. Eyles-Ferris, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +52
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a rare and poorly understood population of events. Previously difficult to detect in real time, the launch of the Einstein Probe with its wide fiel…
The Near-Ultraviolet eXplorer (NUX): a ground-based wide-field near-UV telescope to search for near-UV transients
Rudy Wijnands, Steven Bloemen, Rasjied Sloot +5
We present the Near-Ultraviolet eXplorer (NUX), which will consist out of 4 small (36 cm diameter) ground-based telescopes that are optimized for the shortest wavelengths that are…
Hertzsprung gap stars in nearby galaxies and the Quest for Luminous Red Novae Progenitors
Hugo Tranin, Nadejda Blagorodnova, Viraj Karambelkar +5
After the main sequence phase, stars more massive than 2.5 M rapidly evolve through the Hertzsprung gap as yellow giants and supergiants (YSG), before settling into the red…
Analysis of spiral structure in the accretion disc of the novalike Cataclysmic Variable EC21178--5417
R. Ruiz-Carmona, Z. N. Khangale, P. A. Woudt +1
We present an extensive Doppler tomography study of the eclipsing novalike EC21178--5417, which exhibits the classic accretion disc signature in the form of double-peak emission li…
The OmegaWhite survey for short-period variable stars - V. Discovery of an ultracompact hot subdwarf binary with a compact companion in a 44 minute orbit
T. Kupfer, G. Ramsay, J. van Roestel +20
We report the discovery of the ultracompact hot subdwarf (sdOB) binary OW J074106.0-294811.0 with an orbital period of P min, making it the…
