AT 2025unk , the SIMBAD biblio

On 2025 August 18, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration reported gravitational waves from a subthreshold binary neutron star merger. If astrophysical, this event would have a surprisingly low chirp mass, suggesting that at least one neutron star was below a solar mass. The Zwicky Transient Facility mapped the coarse localization and discovered a transient, ZTF 25abjmnps (AT2025ulz), which was spatially and temporally coincident with the gravitational-wave trigger. The first week of follow-up suggested properties reminiscent of a GW170817-like kilonova. Subsequent follow-up suggests properties most similar to a young, stripped-envelope, Type IIb supernova. Although we cannot statistically rule out chance coincidence, we undertake due diligence analysis to explore the possible association between ZTF 25abjmnps and S250818k. Theoretical models have been proposed wherein subsolar neutron star(s) may form (and subsequently merge) via accretion-disk fragmentation or core fission inside a core-collapse supernova-i.e., a “superkilonova.” Here, we qualitatively discuss our multiwavelength dataset in the context of the superkilonova picture. Future higher-significance gravitational-wave detections of subsolar neutron star mergers with extensive electromagnetic follow-up would conclusively resolve this tantalizing multimessenger association.
