  • AT2025ulz and S250818k: Zooming in with the Hubble Space Telescope
    AT2025ulz is an optical/near-infrared transient discovered during follow-up of the candidate gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k. Its young age (≲1 day), rapid decline, and strong color evolution over the first 48 hr classify it as a potential kilonova candidate. In this work, we present the results of our observing campaign, carried out with

  • Asymmetries in stellar streams induced by a galactic merger
    Stellar streams are sensitive to perturbations from, for example, giant molecular clouds, bars and spiral arms, infalling dwarf galaxies, or globular clusters which can imprint gaps, clumps, spurs, and asymmetries in tails. In addition to these effects, the impact of a major galactic merger on a population of stellar streams remains to be explored

  • An unusual velocity field in a sunspot penumbra
    Context. The photospheric Evershed flow is normally oriented radially outward, yet sometimes opposite velocities are observed not only in the chromosphere but also in the photospheric layers of the penumbra. Aims. We studied the velocity field in a special case of an active region with two mature sunspots, the lesser of which formed several days

  • A young progenitor for the most common planetary systems in the Galaxy
    The Galaxy's most common known planetary systems have several Earth-to-Neptune-size planets in compact orbits 1. At small orbital separations, larger planets are less common than their smaller counterparts by an order of magnitude. The young star V1298 Tau hosts one such compact planetary system, albeit with four planets that are uncommonly large

  • A targeted, parallax-based search for Planet Nine
    The hypothesized Planet Nine is thought to reside in the distant outer solar system, potentially explaining various anomalies in the orbits of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs). In this work, we present a targeted observational search for Planet Nine in a field of approximately 98 square-degrees. This field is close to the highest probability

  • A search for photometric variability towards the globular cluster M3 with the TWenty Inch Survey Telescope
    We present the commissioning results and first scientific observations from the newly installed TWIST (TWenty Inch Survey Telescope) observatory ─ a 50 cm telescope equipped with an sCMOS (scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) camera providing a $36.1\times 24.1$ arcmin $^2$ field of view ─ housed in the former enclosure of the Super
