Lei Hu (CMU), Yuhan Chen (UCB), Lifan Wang (TAMU), Haojing Yan (University of Missouri), Bangzheng Sun (University of Missouri), Tianqing Zhang (Pitt) report/s the discovery of a new astronomical transient.
IAU Designation: AT 2025qtk
Discoverer internal name: 20250708F150W013721159m082345595
Coordinates (J2000): RA = 01:37:21.159 (24.338163739002) DEC = -08:23:45.59 (-8.3959984978673)
Discovery date: 2025-07-08 21:36:37.000 (JD=2460865.4004282)
Host redshift: 1.44
Remarks: We report on the detection of a transient candidate in JWST observations of WJ013719-08284. It was discovered in NIRCam observations of GO Program 6882 (PI: Seiji Fujimoto) using SFFT image subtraction code. We used archival NIRCam data provided by GO Program 2282 (PI: Dan Coe) as reference. The transient search is part of JWST Archival Research Program 5965 (JCAST; PIs: Lei Hu & Lifan Wang).
