Using a Milky Way double neutron star (DNS) merger rate of 210 Myr, as derived by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), we demonstrate that the Las…
GRB 180620A: Evidence for late-time energy injection
Rosa L. Becerra, Fabio De Colle, Alan M. Watson +11
The early optical emission of gamma-ray bursts gives an opportunity to understand the central engine and first stages of these events. About 30\% of GRBs present flares whose origi…
An X-ray Detection of Star Formation In a Highly Magnified Giant Arc
M. B. Bayliss, M. McDonald, K. Sharon +19
In the past decade, our understanding of how stars and galaxies formed during the first 5 billion years after the Big Bang has been revolutionized by observations that leverage gra…
ZTF Early Observations of Type Ia Supernovae I: Properties of the 2018 Sample
Yuhan Yao, Adam A. Miller, S. R. Kulkarni +32
Early-time observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are essential to constrain their progenitor properties. In this paper, we present high-quality light curves of 127 SNe Ia dis…
Ca hnk: Calcium-rich Transient SN 2016hnk from the Helium Shell Detonation of a Sub-Chandrasekhar White Dwarf
Wynn V. Jacobson-Galán, Abigail Polin, Ryan J. Foley +11
We present observations and modeling of SN 2016hnk, a Ca-rich supernova (SN) that is consistent with being the result of a He-shell double-detonation explosion of a C/O white dwarf…
The Explosion of Helium Stars Evolved With Mass Loss
Thomas Ertl, Stan E. Woosley, Tuguldur Sukhbold +1
Light curves, explosion energies, and remnant masses are calculated for a grid of supernovae resulting from massive helium stars that have been evolved including mass loss. These p…
