A Demonstration of Extremely Low Latency -ray, X-Ray & UV Follow-Up of a Millisecond Radio Transient
Aaron Tohuvavohu, Casey J. Law, Jamie A. Kennea +18
We report results of a novel high-energy follow-up observation of a potential Fast Radio Burst. The radio burst was detected by VLA/realfast and followed-up by the Neil Gehrels Swi…
VLA/Realfast Detection of a Burst from FRB180916.J0158+65 and Tests for Periodic Activity
Kshitij Aggarwal, Casey J. Law, Sarah Burke-Spolaor +5
We report on the detection of a burst from FRB180916 by realfast/VLA and present software for interpreting fast radio bursts (FRB) periodicity. We demonstrate a range of periodicit…
Direct evidence for shock-powered optical emission in a nova
Elias Aydi, Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Laura Chomiuk +39
Classical novae are thermonuclear explosions that occur on the surfaces of white dwarf stars in interacting binary systems (Bode & Evans 2008). It has long been thought that the lu…
Pre-nova Observations of T CrB: A view from the CHARA Array
Ryan Norris, Narsireddy Anugu, Thomas Gaudin +38
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova consisting of a red giant and white dwarf with recent eruptions in 1866 and 1946 and an anticipated eruption in the mid 2020s. We report CHARA A…
Non-Thermal Radio Emission from Colliding Flows in Classical Nova V1723 Aql
Jennifer H. S. Weston, J. L. Sokoloski, Brian D. Metzger +9
The importance of shocks in nova explosions has been highlighted by Fermi's discovery of γ-ray producing novae. Over three years of multi-band VLA radio observations of the 2010 n…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: A Shocking Shift in Paradigm for Classical Novae
Laura Chomiuk, Elias Aydi, Aliya-Nur Babul +10
The discovery of GeV gamma-rays from classical novae has led to a reassessment of these garden-variety explosions, and highlighted their importance for understanding radiative shoc…
Robust Assessment of Clustering Methods for Fast Radio Transient Candidates
Kshitij Aggarwal, Sarah Burke-Spolaor, Casey J. Law +7
Fast radio transient search algorithms identify signals of interest by iterating and applying a threshold on a set of matched filters. These filters are defined by properties of th…
Multiple outflows and delayed ejections revealed by early imaging of novae
Elias Aydi, John D. Monnier, Antoine Mérand +39
Novae are thermonuclear eruptions on accreting white dwarfs in interacting binaries. Although most of the accreted envelope is expelled, the mechanism -- impulsive ejection, multip…
