ATel 17165: e-MERLIN non-detection of supernova SN2025gvs in UGC10058
30 Apr 2025 at 11:27amSupernova SN2025gvs was first reported on 05/04/2025 on the Transient Name Server, TNS#251047. Located at RA=15:50:23.398 Dec=+25:55:10.03, and classified on 06/04/2025 as a type II, with early similarities to type IIb or type IIP. ... Read more...
ATel 17164: 4U 1630-47 in an unusually radio-bright state
29 Apr 2025 at 4:42pmThe black hole transient 4U 1630-47 started a new outburst on MJD 60768. Data from the Swift (XRT+BAT) instrument taken between the 6th and the 7th of April showed that the source was in the hard state, which has been rarely observed in this source (ATel #17139). ...
