X-ray, Optical, and Near-infrared Monitoring of the New X-ray Transient MAXI J1820+070 in the Low/hard State
Megumi Shidatsu, Satoshi Nakahira, Satoshi Yamada +26
We report X-ray, optical, and near-infrared monitoring of the new X-ray transient MAXI J1820070 discovered with MAXI on 2018 March 11. Its X-ray intensity reached Crab…
The first tidal disruption flare in ZTF: from photometric selection to multi-wavelength characterization
Sjoert van Velzen, Suvi Gezari, S. Bradley Cenko +37
We present Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) observations of the tidal disruption flare AT2018zr/PS18kh reported by Holoien et al. and detected during ZTF commissioning. The ZTF ligh…
State Transitions of GRS 1739278 in the 2014 Outburst
Sili Wang, Nobuyuki Kawai, Megumi Shidatsu +4
We report on the X-ray spectral analysis and time evolution of GRS 1739278 during its 2014 outburst based on MAXI/GSC and Swift/XRT observations. Over the course of the outburst…
The Fast, Luminous Ultraviolet Transient AT2018cow: Extreme Supernova, or Disruption of a Star by an Intermediate-Mass Black Hole?
Daniel A. Perley, Paolo A. Mazzali, Lin Yan +60
Wide-field optical surveys have begun to uncover large samples of fast (t_rise < 5d), luminous (M_peak < -18), blue transients. While commonly attributed to the breakout of a super…
Late Engine Activity of GRB 161017A Revealed by Early Optical Observations
Yutaro Tachibana, Makoto Arimoto, Katsuaki Asano +8
The long gamma-ray burst GRB 161017A was detected by Fermi and Swift, and its afterglow was observed by the MITSuME 50-cm optical telescope promptly about 50 s after the burst. Ear…
The 7-year MAXI/GSC X-ray Source Catalog in the High Galactic-Latitude Sky (3MAXI)
Taiki Kawamuro, Yoshihiro Ueda, Megumi Shidatsu +28
We present the third MAXI/GSC catalog in the high Galactic-latitude sky () based on the 7-year data from 2009 August 13 to 2016 July 31, complementary to that in th…
