Uncovering a population of gravitational lens galaxies with magnified standard candle SN Zwicky

Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson, Steve Schulze +35

Detecting gravitationally lensed supernovae is among the biggest challenges in astronomy. It involves a combination of two very rare phenomena: catching the transient signal of a s…

The merging galaxy cluster A520 --- a broken-up cool core, a dark subcluster, and an X-ray channel

Qian Wang, Maxim Markevitch, Simona Giacintucci

We present results from a deep Chandra X-ray observation of a merging galaxy cluster A520. A high-resolution gas temperature map, after the subtraction of the cluster-scale emissio…

Deja Vu All Over Again: The Reappearance of Supernova Refsdal

P. L. Kelly, S. A. Rodney, T. Treu +21

In Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging taken on 10 November 2014, four images of supernova (SN) "Refsdal" (redshift z=1.49) appeared in an Einstein-cross--like configuration (imag…

Rapidly Rising Transients in the Supernova - Superluminous Supernova Gap

Iair Arcavi, William M. Wolf, D. Andrew Howell +26

We present observations of four rapidly rising (t_{rise}~10d) transients with peak luminosities between those of supernovae (SNe) and superluminous SNe (M_{peak}~-20) - one discove…
