Primordial black holes captured by stars lead to either quiet consumption or explosive disruption via disk formation, producing transients and high-spin remnants with potentially observable event rates.
Non-detections of expected third flares in TDE 2022dbl and TDE 2020vdq support rpTDE interpretation over independent events, with modeling favoring bound main-sequence star orbits and deep initial encounters.
skysurvey provides a Python framework with Target, Survey, and DataSet classes plus modeldag to simulate transient sky observations, demonstrated on Type Ia supernovae populations and ZTF DR2 replication.
Off-axis cocoon emission from long GRB jets produces fast X-ray transients with luminosities of 10^47-48 erg/s, durations of 10-100 s, and soft quasi-thermal spectra peaking near 0.8 keV.
EP250827b/SN 2025wkm is a new X-ray flash–supernova whose long, soft X-ray burst and double-peaked, plateauing optical light curve are best explained by a magnetar central engine interacting with a low-mass circumstellar shell.
High-resolution GRMHD simulations show that tearing of tilted accretion disks around rapidly spinning supermassive black holes drives order-of-magnitude variability in continuum and broad-line luminosities on months-to-years timescales, explaining changing-look AGN.
GOATS integrates ANTARES, Gemini triggering, archive access, DRAGONS, and Astro Data Lab into one platform for LSST alert follow-up, demonstrated by triggering observations and classifying supernovae within minutes of detection.
Stellar evolution and atmosphere models predict black hole progenitors are predominantly hot and blue with a direct-collapse rate of ~0.4 per century in a 1 Msun/yr star-forming galaxy.
Lazuli is proposed as a space observatory combining flagship sensitivity with response times one to two orders of magnitude faster than current large facilities to enable new time-domain and multi-messenger science.
EP260321a is identified as the faintest shock breakout X-ray transient associated with broad-lined Ic supernova SN 2026gzf, interpreted as originating from a mildly relativistic weak outflow choked inside the progenitor star.
New X-ray flare detections from M dwarfs combined with literature data yield flare frequency constraints and an upper limit of 0.5-30 Myr on atmospheric loss times for habitable planets orbiting them.
ZTF high-cadence data shows RR Lyrae stars and flaring sources can mimic UV transients, with pre-existing ML catalogs offering a concrete mitigation approach.
TESS and ZTF observations of 12 LFBOTs yield no late-time flares after SSO attribution, constraining central engine lifetimes to hundreds of days or less.
Reviews how cross-correlating SKAO 21-cm LIM with other lines like [CII], CO, and Ly-alpha can mitigate systematics, enhance sensitivity, and disentangle cosmological from astrophysical parameters.
Review of UV spectroscopy applications to hot evolved stars, emphasizing HST contributions and the need for continued observations ahead of HWO.
