iPTF Discovery of the Rapid "Turn On" of a Luminous Quasar
S. Gezari, T. Hung, S. B. Cenko +13
We present a radio-quiet quasar at z=0.237 discovered "turning on" by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF). The transient, iPTF 16bco, was detected by iPTF in the nucl…
Two New Calcium-Rich Gap Transients in Group and Cluster Environments
R. Lunnan, M. M. Kasliwal, Y. Cao +20
We present the Palomar Transient Factory discoveries and the photometric and spectroscopic observations of PTF11kmb and PTF12bho. We show that both transients have properties consi…
SPIRITS 15c and SPIRITS 14buu: Two Obscured Supernovae in the Nearby Star-Forming Galaxy IC 2163
Jacob E. Jencson, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Joel Johansson +22
SPIRITS---SPitzer InfraRed Intensive Transients Survey---is an ongoing survey of nearby galaxies searching for infrared (IR) transients with Spitzer/IRAC. We present the discovery…
On the early-time excess emission in hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae
Paul M. Vreeswijk, Giorgos Leloudas, Avishay Gal-Yam +27
We present the light curves of the hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) PTF12dam and iPTF13dcc, discovered by the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory. Both show ex…
