Investigating the properties of stripped-envelope supernovae, what are the implications for their progenitors?
S. J. Prentice, C. Ashall, P. A. James +41
We present observations and analysis of 18 stripped-envelope supernovae observed during 2013 -- 2018. This sample consists of 5 H/He-rich SNe, 6 H-poor/He-rich SNe, 3 narrow lined…
Observations of SN 2017ein Reveal Shock Breakout Emission and A Massive Progenitor Star for a Type Ic Supernova
Danfeng Xiang, Xiaofeng Wang, Jun Mo +23
We present optical and ultraviolet observations of nearby type Ic supernova SN 2017ein as well as detailed analysis of its progenitor properties from both the early-time observatio…
Blazars in the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey First Data Release
S. Mooney, J. Quinn, J. R. Callingham +13
Historically, the blazar population has been poorly understood at low frequencies because survey sensitivity and angular resolution limitations have made it difficult to identify m…
Periastron Observations of TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from a Binary System with a 50-year Period
The VERITAS Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow +212
We report on observations of the pulsar / Be star binary system PSR J2032+4127 / MT91 213 in the energy range between 100 GeV and 20 TeV with the VERITAS and MAGIC imaging atmosphe…
The delay of shock breakout due to circumstellar material seen in most Type II Supernovae
F. Förster, T. J. Moriya, J. C. Maureira +35
Type II supernovae (SNe) originate from the explosion of hydrogen-rich supergiant massive stars. Their first electromagnetic signature is the shock breakout, a short-lived phenomen…
VERITAS and Fermi-LAT observations of new HAWC sources
VERITAS Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer +280
The HAWC (High Altitude Water Cherenkov) collaboration recently published their 2HWC catalog, listing 39 very high energy (VHE; >100~GeV) gamma-ray sources based on 507 days of obs…
Measurement of Cosmic-ray Electrons at TeV Energies by VERITAS
VERITAS Collaboration, A. Archer, W. Benbow +58
Cosmic-ray electrons and positrons (CREs) at GeV-TeV energies are a unique probe of our local Galactic neighborhood. CREs lose energy rapidly via synchrotron radiation and inverse-…
The extreme HBL behaviour of Markarian 501 during 2012
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +276
A multiwavelength campaign was organized to take place between March and July of 2012. Excellent temporal coverage was obtained with more than 25 instruments, including the MAGIC,…
Forecasting Gamma-Ray Bursts using Gravitational Waves
Sarp Akcay
We explore the intriguing possibility of employing future ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers to detect the inspiral of binary neutron stars sufficiently early to alert…
AT 2017be - a new member of the class of Intermediate-Luminosity Red Transients
Y-Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, M. Fraser +20
We report the results of our spectrophotometric monitoring campaign for AT~2017be in NGC~2537. Its lightcurve reveals a fast rise to an optical maximum, followed by a plateau lasti…
Measurement of the Iron Spectrum in Cosmic Rays by VERITAS
The VERITAS collaboration, A. Archer, W. Benbow +55
We present a new measurement of the energy spectrum of iron nuclei in cosmic rays from 20 to 500 TeV. The measurement makes use of a template-based analysis method, which, for the…
VERITAS observations of the BL Lac object TXS 0506+056
A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer, W. Benbow +57
On 2017 September 22, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory reported the detection of the high-energy neutrino event \icnu, of potential astrophysical origin. It was soon determined tha…
HESS J1943+213: An Extreme Blazar Shining Through The Galactic Plane
The VERITAS Collaboration, A. Archer, W. Benbow +60
HESS J1943+213 is a very-high-energy (VHE; 100 GeV) -ray source in the direction of the Galactic Plane. Studies exploring the classification of the source are converging towa…
A nearby superluminous supernova with a long pre-maximum 'plateau' and strong CII features
J. P. Anderson, P. J. Pessi, L. Dessart +63
Super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe) are rare events defined as being significantly more luminous than normal terminal stellar explosions. The source of the extra powering needed to a…
X-shooter and ALMA spectroscopy of GRB 161023A - A study of metals and molecules in the line of sight towards a luminous GRB
A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. C. Thöne, J. Bolmer +45
Long gamma-ray bursts are produced during the dramatic deaths of massive stars with very short lifetimes, meaning that they explode close to the birth place of their progenitors. D…
A Very High Energy -Ray Survey towards the Cygnus Region of the Galaxy
The VERITAS Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer +68
We present results from deep observations towards the Cygnus region using 300 hours of very-high-energy (VHE) -ray data taken with the VERITAS Cherenkov telescope array and over…
The lowest metallicity type II supernova from the highest mass red-supergiant progenitor
J. P. Anderson, L. Dessart, C. P. Gutiérrez +29
Red supergiants have been confirmed as the progenitor stars of the majority of hydrogen-rich type II supernovae. However, while such stars are observed with masses >25M, de…
A strong limit on the very-high-energy emission from GRB 150323A
A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer, W. Benbow +63
On 2015 March 23, VERITAS responded to a -BAT detection of a gamma-ray burst, with observations beginning 270 seconds after the onset of BAT emission, and only 135 seconds a…
Multiwavelength observations of the blazar BL Lacertae: a new fast TeV gamma-ray flare
