Gamma rays from the quasar PKS 1441+25: story of an escape

A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +103

Outbursts from gamma-ray quasars provide insights on the relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei and constraints on the diffuse radiation fields that fill the Universe. The det…

Exploring the Potential Diversity of Early Type Ia Supernova Light Curves

Anthony L. Piro, Viktoriya S. Morozova

During the first several days after explosion, Type Ia supernova light curves probe the outer layers of the exploding star and therefore provide important clues for identifying the…

Type II supernova energetics and comparison of light curves to shock-cooling models

Adam Rubin, Avishay Gal-Yam, Annalisa De Cia +37

During the first few days after explosion, Type II supernovae (SNe) are dominated by relatively simple physics. Theoretical predictions regarding early-time SN light curves in the…

Almost Gone: SN~2008S and NGC~300 2008OT-1 are Fainter than their Progenitors

S. M. Adams, C. S. Kochanek, J. L. Prieto +3

We present late-time Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescope imaging of SN 2008S and NGC 300 2008OT-1, the prototypes of a common class of stellar transients whose true nature is debate…

A Hubble diagram from Type II Supernovae based solely on photometry: the Photometric-Colour Method

T. de Jaeger, S. González-Gaitán, J. P. Anderson +20

We present a Hubble diagram of type II supernovae using corrected magnitudes derived only from photometry, with no input of spectral information. We use a data set from the Carnegi…

A Deep Search for Prompt Radio Emission from Thermonuclear Supernovae with the Very Large Array

Laura Chomiuk, Alicia M. Soderberg, Roger A. Chevalier +10

Searches for circumstellar material around Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are one of the most powerful tests of the nature of SN Ia progenitors, and radio observations provide a parti…
