We have considered these mid-infrared (mid-IR) data together with observations from the ultraviolet (UV) through the near-IR, when possible. At day 3.6 we approximated the optical emission with a hot, ~26,630 K blackbody, with a notable UV excess likely from strong SN shock interaction with circumstellar matter (CSM). In the IR, however, a clear excess is also obvious, and we fit it with a cooler, ~1,620 K blackbody with radius of ~2.6 x 10^{15} cm, consistent with dust in the progenitor's circumstellar shell likely heated by the UV emission from the CSM interaction. On day 10.8, the light detected was consistent with SN ejecta-dominated emission. At late times we also observed a clear NEOWISE-R excess, which could arise either from newly formed dust in the inner ejecta or in the contact discontinuity between the forward and reverse shocks, or from more distant pre-existing dust grains in the SN environment. Furthermore, the large 4.6 micron excess at late times can also be explained by the emergence of the carbon monoxide 1--0 vibrational band. SN 2023ixf is the best-observed SN IIP in the mid-IR during the first several days after explosion and one of the most luminous such SNe ever seen.}, keywords = {Astrophysics - Solar and Stellar Astrophysics; Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena; Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies}, year = {2024}, orcid-numbers = {Vinkó, József/0000-0001-8764-7832} } @article{MTMT:34970101, title = {The enigma of Gaia18cjb: A possible rare hybrid of FUor and EXor properties}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34970101}, author = {Fiorellino, Elenonora and Ábrahám, Péter and Kóspál, Ágnes and Kun, Mária and Alcalá, Juan M. and Caratti, o Garatti Alessio and Fernando, Cruz-Saenz de Miera and García-Álvarez, David and Giannini, Teresa and Park, Sunkyung and Siwak, Michal and Szilágyi, Máté and Covino, Elvira and Marton, Gábor and Nagy, Zsófia and Nisini, Brunella and Marianna, Szabó Zsófia and Bora, Zsófia and Cseh, Borbála and Kalup, Csilla and Krezinger, Máté and Kriskovics, Levente and Ogłoza, Waldemar and Pál, András and Sódor, Ádám and Sonbas, Eda and Szakáts, Róbert and Vida, Krisztián and Vinkó, József and Wyrzykowski, Lukasz and Zielinski, Pawel}, doi = {10.1051/0004-6361/202347777}, journal-iso = {ASTRON ASTROPHYS}, journal = {ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS}, volume = {686}, unique-id = {34970101}, issn = {0004-6361}, abstract = {Context. Gaia18cjb is one of the Gaia-alerted eruptive young star candidates that has been experiencing a slow and strong brightening during the last 13 years, similarly to some FU Orionis-type objects. Aims: The aim of this work is to derive the young stellar nature of Gaia18cjb and determine its physical and accretion properties to classify its variability. Methods: We conducted monitoring observations using multi-filter optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry, as well as NIR spectroscopy. We present an analysis of pre-outburst and outburst optical and IR light curves, color-magnitude diagrams in different bands, the detection of NIR spectral lines, and estimates of both stellar and accretion parameters during the burst. Results: The optical light curve shows an unusually long (over 8 years) brightening event of 5 mag in the last 13 years, before reaching a plateau indicating that the burst is still ongoing, suggesting a FU Orionis-like (FUor-like) nature. The same outburst is less strong in the IR light curves. The NIR spectra, obtained during the outburst, exhibit emission lines typical of highly accreting low-intermediate mass young stars with typical EX Lupi-type (EXor) features. The spectral index of Gaia18cjb SED classifies it as a Class I in the pre-burst stage and a flat-spectrum young stellar object (YSO) during the burst. Conclusions: Gaia18cjb is an eruptive YSO that exhibits FUor-like photometric features (in terms of brightening amplitude and length of the burst) as well as EXor-like spectroscopic features and accretion rate. Its nature appears similar to that of V350 Cep and V1647 Ori, which have been classified as objects in between FUors and EXors.

They may represent the outcome of giant collisions occuring in the terrestrial region between large planetesimals or planetary bodies, and thus provide a rare opportunity to peer into the aftermaths of these events. Here, we report on results of a mini-survey we conducted with the aim to increase the number of known EDDs, investigate the presence of solid-state features around 10 μm in eight EDDs, and classify them into the silica or silicate dominated groups. We identify four new EDDs and derive their fundamental properties. For these, and for four other previously known discs, we study the spectral energy distribution around 10 μm by means of VLT/VISIR photometryin three narrow-band filters and conclude that all eight objects likely exhibit solid-state emission features from sub-micron grains. We find that four discs probably belong to the silicate dominated subgroup. Considering the age distribution of the entire EDD sample, we find that their incidence begins to decrease only after 300 Myr, suggesting that the earlier common picture that these objects are related to the formation of rocky planets may not be exclusive, and that other processes may be involved for older objects (≳100 Myr). Because most of the older EDD systems have wide, eccentric companions, we suggest that binarity may play a role in triggering late giant collisions.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1365-2966}, pages = {4528-4546}, orcid-numbers = {Marino, S/0000-0002-5352-2924} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:34718724, title = {Stellar flares with PLATO}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34718724}, author = {Raetz, Stefanie and Stelzer, Beate and Vicanek, Martinez Tobias and Bruno, Giovanni and Vida, Krisztián and Feliz, Dax and Stassun, Keivan}, booktitle = {PLATO Stellar Science Conference 2023}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.8143624}, unique-id = {34718724}, abstract = {Stellar flares are powerful localized eruptions caused by magnetic reconnection events in a star's magnetosphere that can be seen across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Over short timescales of minutes to a few hours, they emit energies up to 10^38 erg. Flares are important diagnostics for our understanding of coronal physics as well as the evolution of planetary atmospheres. While flares with energies >10^34 erg can lead to an erosion of the ozone layer of the planet's atmosphere when they occur frequently enough, a minimum flare frequency and energy might be required to trigger chemical reactions that are necessary for the development of life. The PLATO mission with its unprecedented precision, short cadence and long observational baseline, is ideally suited to study stellar white-light flares in up to now unrivaled detail. Flares will be identified within the PLATO pipeline MSAP1 with a code developed by the PLATO WP 123 700 ("Stellar flares") both in order to remove stellar variability from the light curves and to extract astrophysically important information. The first prototype of the code was already delivered to the PDC. In this talk I provide a brief summary of the work carried out in the PLATO WP and I will show examples of applications of the flare detection algorithm we develop for MSAP1 to selected stellar samples, e.g. the TESS HZCat M dwarf sample or the Kepler Superflare sample.

Given its intermediate luminosity, fast photometric evolution, and quick transition to the nebular phase with spectra dominated by [Ca II] lines, SN 2021gno belongs to the small family of Calcium-rich transients. Moreover, it shows double-peaked light curves, a phenomenon shared with only four other Calcium-rich events. The projected distance from the centre of the host galaxy is not as large as other objects in this family. The initial optical light-curve peaks coincide with a very quick decline of the UV flux, indicating a fast initial cooling phase. Through hydrodynamical modelling of the bolometric light curve and line velocity evolution, we found that the observations are compatible with the explosion of a highly stripped massive star with an ejecta mass of $0.8\\, M_\\odot$ and a 56Ni mass of 0.024 M⊙.

The detailed optical follow-up of SN 2021hpr allows us to revise the previous distance estimations to NGC 3147 and compare the widely used light curve fitting algorithms to each other.

We present and analyse new BVgriz and Swift photometry of SN 2021hpr to constrain its general physical properties. Together with its siblings, SNe 1997bq and 2008fv, we cross-compared the individual distance estimates of these three SNe given by the Spectral Adaptive Lightcurve Template (SALT) code, and we also checked their consistency with the results from the Multi-Color Light Curve Shape (MLCS) code.
