SN 2012ij: A low-luminosity type Ia supernova and evidence for continuous distribution from 91bg-like explosion to normal ones
Zhitong Li, Tianmeng Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang +24
In this paper, we present photometric and spectroscopic observations of a subluminous type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2012ij, which has an absolute -band peak magnitude $M_{B,\rm{max}…
The Photometric and Spectral Evolution of the 2008 Luminous Optical Transient in NGC 300
Roberta M. Humphreys, Howard E. Bond, Alceste Z. Bonanos +4
The 2008 optical transient in NGC 300 is one of a growing class of intermediate-luminosity transients that brighten several orders of magnitude from a previously optically obscured…
A Detailed Observational Analysis of V1324 Sco, the Most Gamma-Ray Luminous Classical Nova to Date
Thomas Finzell, Laura Chomiuk, Brian D. Metzger +32
It has recently been discovered that some, if not all, classical novae emit GeV gamma rays during outburst, but the mechanisms involved in the production of the gamma rays are stil…
SN 2009ip and SN 2010mc: Core-collapse Type IIn supernovae arising from blue supergiants
Nathan Smith, Jon Mauerhan, Jose Prieto
The recent supernova (SN) known as SN 2009ip had dramatic precursor eruptions followed by an even brighter explosion in 2012. Its pre-2012 observations make it the best documented…
The Changing Look Blazar B2 1420+32
Hora D. Mishra, Xinyu Dai, Ping Chen +22
Blazars are active galactic nuclei with their relativistic jets pointing toward the observer, with two major sub-classes, the flat spectrum radio quasars and BL Lac objects. We pre…
