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…
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…
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…
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…
