The He-rich core-collapse supernova 2007Y: Observations from X-ray to Radio Wavelengths
Maximilian Stritzinger, Paolo Mazzali, Mark M. Phillips +21
A detailed study spanning approximately a year has been conducted on the Type Ib supernova 2007Y. Imaging was obtained from X-ray to radio wavelengths, and a comprehensive set of m…
Modeling a Grid-Connected PV/Battery Microgrid System with MPPT Controller
Genesis Alvarez, Hadis Moradi, Mathew Smith +1
This paper focuses on performance analyzing and dynamic modeling of the current grid-tied fixed array 6.84kW solar photovoltaic system located at Florida Atlantic University (FAU).…
Core or cusps: The central dark matter profile of a redshift one strong lensing cluster with a bright central image
Thomas E. Collett, Elizabeth Buckley-Geer, Huan Lin +58
We report on SPT-CLJ2011-5228, a giant system of arcs created by a cluster at . The arc system is notable for the presence of a bright central image. The source is a Lyman…
Optical discovery of probable stellar tidal disruption flares
Sjoert van Velzen, Glennys R. Farrar, Suvi Gezari +6
Using archival SDSS multi-epoch imaging data (Stripe 82), we have searched for the tidal disruption of stars by super-massive black holes in non-active galaxies. Two candidate tida…
ZTF SN Ia DR2 follow-up: early excess in Type Ia supernova light curves
Tomás E. Müller-Bravo, Tomás E. Müller-Bravo, Kate Maguire +17
There is broad consensus that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are the thermonuclear explosions of C/O white dwarfs (WDs) in binary systems, but their progenitors and explosion mechanis…
A blinded determination of from low-redshift Type Ia supernovae, calibrated by Cepheid variables
Bonnie R. Zhang, Michael J. Childress, Tamara M. Davis +4
Presently a tension exists between values of the Hubble constant derived from analysis of fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background by Planck, and local measur…
