GRB 220706A: a gamma-ray burst with a month-long engine and a luminous supernova
Benjamin P. Gompertz, Nusrin Habeeb, Dheeraj R. Pasham +30
While the progenitors of many long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are well established as the core collapse of very massive, envelope-stripped, rapidly-rotating stars, it has been suggest…
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…
Automatically distinguishing Rubin transients from AGN using variability metrics
Dylan Magill, Matt Nicholl, Philip Wiseman +7
Stochastic variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) can produce contaminants in the search for explosive extragalactic transients (such as supernovae and tidal disruption events…
Evidence for a steeper SMBH-Bulge mass relationship extended to low masses using TDE host galaxies
Paige Ramsden, Matt Nicholl, Sean L. McGee +1
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are excellent tools for probing low mass supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that may otherwise remain undetected. Here, we present an extended SMBH--Bu…
Super-SNID : an expanded set of SNID classes and templates for the new era of wide-field surveys
Dylan Magill, Michael D. Fulton, Matt Nicholl +4
We present an expanded template library for the supernova identification (SNID) software, along with updated source files that make it easy to merge our templates - and other major…
The impact of ultraviolet suppression on the rates and properties of strongly lensed Type IIn supernovae detected by LSST
Andrés I. Ponte Pérez, Graham P. Smith, Matt Nicholl +4
Upcoming wide-field time-domain surveys, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) are expected to discover up to two orders of magnitude more…
The Type I Superluminous Supernova Catalogue II: Spectroscopic Evolution in the Photospheric Phase, Velocity Measurements, and Constraints on Diversity
Aysha Aamer, Matt Nicholl, Sebastian Gomez +29
Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are among the most energetic explosions in the universe, reaching luminosities up to 100 times greater than those of normal supernova…
A follow-up strategy enabling discovery of electromagnetic counterparts to highly-magnified gravitationally-lensed gravitational waves
Dan Ryczanowski, Jeff Cooke, James Freeburn +6
Making an unambiguous detection of lensed gravitational waves is challenging with current generation detectors due to large uncertainties in sky localisations and other inferred pa…
Multi-messenger Gravitational Lensing
Graham P. Smith, Tessa Baker, Simon Birrer +38
We introduce the rapidly emerging field of multi-messenger gravitational lensing - the discovery and science of gravitationally lensed phenomena in the distant universe through the…
Testing and Combining Transient Spectral Classification Tools on 4MOST-like Blended Spectra
Andrew Milligan, Isobel Hook, Christopher Frohmaier +15
With the 4-meter Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) expected to provide an influx of transient spectra when it begins observations in early 2026 we consider the potential…
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…
Electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational waves: review and lessons learned
Matt Nicholl, Igor Andreoni
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) has provided a new tool to study the Universe, with the scientific return enriched when combined with established probes: electromagnetic…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
On the gravitational lensing interpretation of three gravitational wave detections in the mass gap by LIGO and Virgo
Matteo Bianconi, Graham P. Smith, Matt Nicholl +7
We search for gravitational wave (GW) events from LIGO-Virgo's third run that may have been affected by gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing delays the arrival of GWs, and…
Hydrogen-rich supernovae beyond the neutrino-driven core-collapse paradigm
G. Terreran, M. L. Pumo, T. -W. Chen +41
We present our study of OGLE-2014-SN-073, one of the brightest Type II SN ever discovered, with an unusually broad lightcurve combined with high ejecta velocities. From our hydrody…
LSQ13fn: A type II-Plateau supernova with a possibly low metallicity progenitor that breaks the standardised candle relation
J. Polshaw, R. Kotak, L. Dessart +20
We present optical imaging and spectroscopy of supernova (SN) LSQ13fn, a type II supernova with several hitherto-unseen properties. Although it initially showed strong symmetric sp…
