We present observations from X-ray to mid-infrared wavelengths of the most energetic non-quasar transient ever observed, AT2021lwx. Our data show a single optical brightening by a factor >100 to a luminosity of 7 × 10 45 erg s -1 and a total radiated energy of 1.5 × 10 53 erg, both greater than any known optical transient. The decline is smooth and

M31N 2008-12a, located in the Andromeda galaxy (M31), is the best studied recurrent nova. It presents periodic outbursts with about one year between eruptions. However, the annual eruption date varies from year to year. In order to discover the annual eruption and facilitate the multi-wavelength follow-up, a monitoring campaign with nightly cadence

Context. We analyze the broad Hβ line profile variability of a "changing look" active galactic nucleus (CL-AGN) NGC 3516 over an extensive period of 25 years (from 1996 to 2021). The observed change in the broad line profile may indicate a change in the geometry of the broad line region (BLR). The main objective is to follow and understand the

Multiwavelength studies indicate that nuclear activity and bulge properties are closely related, but the details remain unclear. To study this further, we combine Hubble Space Telescope bulge structural and photometric properties with 1.5 GHz, e-MERLIN nuclear radio continuum data from the LeMMINGs survey for a large sample of 173 'active' galaxies

We used high-resolution HST imaging and e-MERLIN 1.5-GHz observations of galaxy cores from the LeMMINGs survey to investigate the relation between optical structural properties and nuclear radio emission for a large sample of galaxies. We performed accurate, multi-component decompositions of new surface brightness profiles extracted from HST images

We present the observations and analysis of a high-magnification microlensing planetary event, KMT-2022-BLG-0440, for which the weak and short-lived planetary signal was covered by both the KMTNet survey and follow-up observations. The binary-lens models with a central caustic provide the best fits, with a planet/host mass ratio, q = 0.75-1.00 × 10
