We study the gas and stellar mass content of galaxy groups and clusters in the FABLE suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, including the evolution of their central brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), satellite galaxies, and intracluster light (ICL). The total gas and stellar mass of FABLE clusters are in good agreement with observations and show negligible redshift evolution at fixed halo mass for $M_{500} \gtrsim 3 \times 10^{14} \, \mathrm{M}_{\odot }$ at z ≲ 1, in line with recent findings from Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ)-selected cluster samples. Importantly, the simulations predict significant redshift evolution in these quantities in the low-mass ( $M_{500} \sim 10^{14} \, \mathrm{M}_{\odot }$ ) regime, which will be testable with upcoming SZ surveys such as SPT-3G. Whilst the stellar masses of FABLE BCGs are in reasonable agreement with observations, the total stellar mass in satellite galaxies is lower than observed and the total mass in ICL is somewhat higher. This may be caused by enhanced tidal stripping of satellite galaxies due to their large sizes. BCGs are characterized by moderate stellar mass growth at z < 1 coincident with a late-time development of the ICL. The level of BCG mass growth is in good agreement with recent observations; however, we caution that the inferred growth depends sensitively on the mass definition. We further show that in situ star formation contributes more than half the mass of a BCG over its lifetime, the bulk of which is gained at z > 1 where star formation rates are highest. The stellar mass profiles of the BCG+ICL component are similar to observed profiles out to ∼100 kpc at z ≈ 0 and follow a close to power law shape out to several hundred kpc. We further demonstrate that the inferred size growth of BCGs can be severely biased by the choice of parametric model and the outer radius of the fit. | 9 |

We present the discovery with Keck of the extremely infrared (IR) luminous transient AT 2017gbl, coincident with the Northern nucleus of the luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) IRAS 23436+5257. Our extensive multiwavelength follow-up spans ∼900 d, including photometry and spectroscopy in the optical and IR, and (very long baseline interferometry) radio and X-ray observations. Radiative transfer modelling of the host galaxy spectral energy distribution and long-term pre-outburst variability in the mid-IR indicate the presence of a hitherto undetected dust obscured active galactic nucleus (AGN). The optical and near-IR spectra show broad ∼2000 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> hydrogen, He I, and O I emission features that decrease in flux over time. Radio imaging shows a fast evolving compact source of synchrotron emission spatially coincident with AT 2017gbl. We infer a lower limit for the radiated energy of 7.3 × 10<SUP>50</SUP> erg from the IR photometry. An extremely energetic supernova would satisfy this budget, but is ruled out by the radio counterpart evolution. Instead, we propose AT 2017gbl is related to an accretion event by the central supermassive black hole, where the spectral signatures originate in the AGN broad line region and the IR photometry is consistent with re-radiation by polar dust. Given the fast evolution of AT 2017gbl, we deem a tidal disruption event (TDE) of a star a more plausible scenario than a dramatic change in the AGN accretion rate. This makes AT 2017gbl the third TDE candidate to be hosted by a LIRG, in contrast to the so far considered TDE population discovered at optical wavelengths and hosted preferably by post-starburst galaxies. | 9 |

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of Supernova 2020oi (SN 2020oi), a nearby (~17 Mpc) type-Ic supernova (SN Ic) within the grand-design spiral M100. We undertake a comprehensive analysis to characterize the evolution of SN 2020oi and constrain its progenitor system. We detect flux in excess of the fireball rise model δ t ≈ 2.5 days from the date of explosion in multiband optical and UV photometry from the Las Cumbres Observatory and the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, respectively. The derived SN bolometric luminosity is consistent with an explosion with M <SUB>ej</SUB> = 0.81 ± 0.03 M <SUB>⊙</SUB>, E <SUB> k </SUB> = 0.79 ± 0.09 × 10<SUP>51</SUP> erg s<SUP>-1</SUP>, and M <SUB>Ni56</SUB> = 0.08 ± 0.02 M <SUB>⊙</SUB>. Inspection of the event's decline reveals the highest Δm <SUB>15,bol</SUB> reported for a stripped-envelope event to date. Modeling of optical spectra near event peak indicates a partially mixed ejecta comparable in composition to the ejecta observed in SN 1994I, while the earliest spectrum shows signatures of a possible interaction with material of a distinct composition surrounding the SN progenitor. Further, Hubble Space Telescope pre-explosion imaging reveals a stellar cluster coincident with the event. From the cluster photometry, we derive the mass and age of the SN progenitor using stellar evolution models implemented in the BPASS library. Our results indicate that SN 2020oi occurred in a binary system from a progenitor of mass M <SUB>ZAMS</SUB> ≈ 9.5 ± 1.0 M <SUB>⊙</SUB>, corresponding to an age of 27 ± 7 Myr. SN 2020oi is the dimmest SN Ic event to date for which an early-time flux excess has been observed, and the first in which an early excess is unlikely to be associated with shock cooling. | 9 |

The TESS light curve (LC) of the marginal contact binary AA Cet was analyzed simultaneously with the radial velocity and the orbital period (OP) change of the system was investigated. The physical parameters of the system were obtained by analyzing the LC of AA Cet with the Wilson-Devinney method, and the absolute parameters of the components were calculated using the results obtained. For the components of AA Cet, the masses and radii were calculated as M <SUB>1</SUB> = 1.39 ± 0.04 M <SUB>⊙</SUB>, M <SUB>2</SUB> = 0.48 ± 0.02 M <SUB>⊙</SUB> and R <SUB>1</SUB> = 1.64 ± 0.03 R <SUB>⊙</SUB>, R <SUB>2</SUB> = 1.01 ± 0.04 R <SUB>⊙</SUB>, respectively. AA Cet is a marginal contact binary with a temperature difference of 1305 K between its components. A total of 14 eclipse times were obtained from the TESS data and used in the OP analysis together with those collected from the literature. It has been observed that the change in the OP of AA Cet is in the form of a decreasing parabola. Conservative mass transfer between the components has been interpreted as the reason for this change. The OP decrease amount of AA Cet was obtained as dP/dt = 0.0062 ± 0.0006 s yr<SUP>-1</SUP>, and the reason for this decrease was attributed to a 3.3(9) × 10<SUP>-8</SUP> M <SUB>⊙</SUB> mass transfer per year from the more massive component to the less massive one. The age of AA Cet has been estimated as 7 Gyr, as the age of contact systems helps us to understand their evolution. | 9 |

Changing-look active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are a special class of AGNs that change their spectral type from type 1 to type 2 or vice versa. In recent years, a number of changing-look blazars (CLBs) were also reported, which transition between flat-spectrum radio quasars and BL Lacs. The physical properties of CLBs are still unclear. Using the mclust R package for Gaussian mixture modeling, we performed a clustering analysis for a sample of 105 CLBs selected from the literature. Three kinds of analysis found that CLBs lie in between the parameter distributions of FSRQs and BL Lacs: (i) univariate analysis; (ii) bivariate analysis; and (iii) multivariate analysis, carried out with a dimension reduction approach of the physical properties of the three types of blazars. Our results suggest that CLBs belong to a transition type between FSRQs and BL Lacs, which may be regulated by the change of accretion process and may be similar to other changing-look AGNs. | 9 |

We report the properties of more than 600 bursts (including cluster-bursts) detected from the repeating fast radio burst (FRB) source FRB 20201124A with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope during an extremely active episode on UTC 2021 September 25-28, in a series of four papers. The observations were carried out in the band of 1.0-1.5 GHz by using the center beam of the L-band 19-beam receiver. We monitored the source in sixteen 1 hr sessions and one 3 hr session spanning 23 days. All the bursts were detected during the first four days. In this first paper of the series, we perform a detailed morphological study of 624 bursts using the two-dimensional frequency-time "waterfall" plots, with a burst (or cluster-burst) defined as an emission episode during which the adjacent emission peaks have a separation shorter than 400 ms. The duration of a burst is therefore always longer than 1 ms, with the longest up to more than 120 ms. The emission spectra of the sub-bursts are typically narrow within the observing band with a characteristic width of ~277 MHz. The center frequency distribution has a dominant peak at about 1091.9 MHz and a secondary weak peak around 1327.9 MHz. Most bursts show a frequencydownward-drifting pattern. Based on the drifting patterns, we classify the bursts into five main categories: downward drifting (263) bursts, upward drifting (3) bursts, complex (203), no drifting (35) bursts, and no evidence for drifting (121) bursts. Subtypes are introduced based on the emission frequency range in the band (low, middle, high and wide) as well as the number of components in one burst (1, 2, or multiple). We measured a varying scintillation bandwidth from about 0.5 MHz at 1.0 GHz to 1.4 MHz at 1.5 GHz with a spectral index of 3.0. | 9 |
With the growing number of binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, several systems have become difficult to explain via isolated binary evolution, having components in the pair-instability mass gap, high orbital eccentricities, and/or spin-orbit misalignment. Here we focus on GW191109_010717, a BBH merger with component masses of ${65}_{-11}^{+11}$ and ${47}_{-13}^{+15}$ M <SUB>⊙</SUB> and an effective spin of $-{0.29}_{-0.31}^{+0.42}$ , which could imply a spin-orbit misalignment of more than π/2 rad for at least one of its components. Besides its component masses being in the pair-instability mass gap, we show that isolated binary evolution is unlikely to reproduce the proposed spin-orbit misalignment of GW191109 with high confidence. On the other hand, we demonstrate that BBHs dynamically assembled in dense star clusters would naturally reproduce the spin-orbit misalignment and masses of GW191109 and the rates of GW191109-like events if at least one of the components were to be a second-generation BH. Finally, we generalize our results to all events with a measured negative effective spin, arguing that GW200225 also has a likely dynamical origin. | 9 |

We present a case for significantly enhancing the utility and efficiency of the ngEHT by incorporating an additional 86 GHz observing band. In contrast to 230 or 345 GHz, weather conditions at the ngEHT sites are reliably good enough for 86 GHz to enable year-round observations. Multi-frequency imaging that incorporates 86 GHz observations would sufficiently augment the (u,v) coverage at 230 and 345 GHz to permit detection of the M87 jet structure without requiring EHT stations to join the array. The general calibration and sensitivity of the ngEHT would also be enhanced by leveraging frequency phase transfer techniques, whereby simultaneous observations at 86 GHz and higher-frequency bands have the potential to increase the effective coherence times from a few seconds to tens of minutes. When observation at the higher frequencies is not possible, there are opportunities for standalone 86 GHz science, such as studies of black hole jets and spectral lines. Finally, the addition of 86 GHz capabilities to the ngEHT would enable it to integrate into a community of other VLBI facilities—such as the GMVA and ngVLA—that are expected to operate at 86 GHz but not at the higher ngEHT observing frequencies. | 9 |

A particularly interesting discovery in observations of GRB 121027A is that of a giant X-ray bump detected by the Swift/X-Ray Telescope. The X-ray afterglow re-brightens sharply at ~10<SUP>3</SUP> s after the trigger by more than two orders of magnitude in less than 200 s. This X-ray bump lasts for more than 10<SUP>4</SUP> s. It is quite different from typical X-ray flares. In this Letter we propose a fall-back accretion model to interpret this X-ray bump within the context of the collapse of a massive star for a long-duration gamma-ray burst. The required fall-back radius of ~3.5 × 10<SUP>10</SUP> cm and mass of ~0.9-2.6 M <SUB>⊙</SUB> imply that a significant part of the helium envelope should survive through the mass loss during the last stage of the massive progenitor of GRB 121027A. | 9 |
