MeerLICHT discovery of an optical outburst in the X-ray source CXOGBSJ164723. 5-310550 astronomerstelegram.org/?read=16148
Two new transients found in the GW position region : wis-tns.org/object/2023ixg and wis-tns.org/object/2023iyb Probably unrelated given the size of the sky region and the low expectation value of an EM counterpart but only one way to know for sure wis-tns.org/astronotes/ast…
Two more transients found by MeerLICHT, probably extragalactic: AT2023duc (wis-tns.org/object/2023duc) and AT2023dud (wis-tns.org/object/2023dud)
Two new possible compact binaries found by MeerLICHT through their outbursts: wis-tns.org/object/2023dqi and wis-tns.org/object/2023dpr
MeerLICHT discovery of AT2023dpj, a possible supernova in NGC5135 at 60 Mpc. Identification spectrum and follow up requested wis-tns.org/object/2023dpj
MeerLICHT detected two afterglow candidates to the Fermi-detected gamma-ray burst GRB220627A. The telescope obtained the first image 3 minutes after the trigger came in. gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn3/32281.gcn3
MeerLICHT discovery of blue new transient at q=17.45 wis-tns.org/object/2022myv
MeerLICHT discovery of short duration flare or outburst (>2 magnitude in <2 hours) in Galactic source. wis-tns.org/object/2022moo @MeerLICHT_ZA
MeerLICHT discovery of faint transient AT2022mht at q=19.27 wis-tns.org/object/2022mht

SALT spectroscopy of AT2022kms / ATLAS2022olj reveals likely Luminous Red Nova nature wis-tns.org/astronotes/ast…
MeerLICHT (@MeerLICHT_ZA) detections of AT2022kms / ATLAS2022olj in NGC 55 wis-tns.org/astronotes/ast…
MeerLICHT discovery of repeated outburst in likely dwarf nova CV AT2018jhr Wis-tns.org/object/2018jhr
MeerLICHT discovery of likely short duration flare star Wis-tns.org/object/2022kmf
MeerLICHT discovery of possible Galactic nova or dwarf nova: AT2022jrn RA=17:31:09.442, Dec = -30:01:06.13 i = 14.64, q=16.25 wis-tns.org/object/2022jrn
During our communal transient vetting session, we all agreed this is a real transient! Yeah, one down, many to go! With @stevenbloemen, Aastha Pratikh, David Modiano, Danielle Pieterse and @paulgroot
