LSQ13ddu: A rapidly-evolving stripped-envelope supernova with early circumstellar interaction signatures
Peter Clark, Kate Maguire, Cosimo Inserra +30
This paper describes the rapidly evolving and unusual supernova LSQ13ddu, discovered by the La Silla-QUEST survey. LSQ13ddu displayed a rapid rise of just 4.80.9 d to reach a…
The Mystery of Photometric Twins DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy

We present high angular resolution (~80 mas) ALMA continuum images of the SN 1987A system, together with CO =2 1, =6 5, and SiO =5 $\!\…
SN 2016gsd: An unusually luminous and linear type II supernova with high velocities
T. M. Reynolds, M. Fraser, S. Mattila +27
We present observations of the unusually luminous Type II supernova (SN) 2016gsd. With a peak absolute magnitude of V = 19.95 0.08, this object is one of the brightest Typ…
The rise and fall of an extraordinary Ca-rich transient -- The discovery of ATLAS19dqr/SN 2019bkc
S. J. Prentice, K. Maguire, A. Flörs +25
This work presents the observations and analysis of ATLAS19dqr/SN 2019bkc, an extraordinary rapidly evolving transient event located in an isolated environment, tens of kiloparsecs…
An Optically Targeted Search for Gravitational Waves emitted by Core-Collapse Supernovae during the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1195
We present the results from a search for gravitational-wave transients associated with core-collapse supernovae observed within a source distance of approximately 20 Mpc during the…
An X-ray and optical study of the outbursting behaviour of the SMC Be X-ray binary SXP 91.1
Itumeleng Monageng, Malcolm Coe, Jamie Kennea +6
In this paper we report on the optical and X-ray behaviour of the Be X-ray binary, SXP 91.1, during a recent type I outburst. We monitored the outburst using the Neil Gehrels Swift…
Observational properties of extreme supernovae
Cosimo Inserra
The last ten years have opened up a new parameter space in time-domain astronomy with the discovery of transients defying our understanding of how stars explode. These extremes of…
Search for Eccentric Binary Black Hole Mergers with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during their First and Second Observing Runs
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1183
When formed through dynamical interactions, stellar-mass binary black holes may retain eccentric orbits ( at 10 Hz) detectable by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors.…

B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1196
We present the results of targeted searches for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts during the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo,…
SN 2017gmr: An energetic Type II-P supernova with asymmetries
Jennifer E. Andrews, D. J. Sand, S. Valenti +77
We present high-cadence ultraviolet (UV), optical, and near-infrared (NIR) data on the luminous Type II-P supernova SN 2017gmr from hours after discovery through the first 180 days…
The dust content of the Crab Nebula
I. De Looze, M. J. Barlow, R. Bandiera +7
We have modelled the near-infrared to radio images of the Crab Nebula with a Bayesian SED model to simultaneously fit its synchrotron, interstellar and supernova dust emission. We…
Population synthesis of black hole binary mergers from star clusters
Fabio Antonini, Mark Gieles
Black hole (BH) binary mergers formed through dynamical interactions in dense star clusters are believed to be one of the main sources of gravitational waves for Advanced LIGO and…
Astrophysical science metrics for next-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Rana X Adhikari, P Ajith, Yanbei Chen +8
The second generation of gravitational-wave detectors are being built and tuned all over the world. The detection of signals from binary black holes is beginning to fulfill the pro…
Radio sources in next-generation CMB surveys
Gianfranco De Zotti, Matteo Bonato, Mattia Negrello +9
