Nebular Spectroscopy of Kepler's Brightest Supernova

G. Dimitriadis, C. Rojas-Bravo, C. D. Kilpatrick +9

We present late-time (240-260 days after peak brightness) optical photometry and nebular (+236 and +264 days) spectroscopy of SN 2018oh, the brightest Type Ia supernova (SN I…

A Search for Optical Emission from Binary-Black-Hole Merger GW170814 with the Dark Energy Camera

Z. Doctor, R. Kessler, K. Herner +96

Binary black hole (BBH) mergers found by the LIGO and Virgo detectors are of immense scientific interest to the astrophysics community, but are considered unlikely to be sources of…

The Extraplanar Type II Supernova ASASSN-14jb in the Nearby Edge-on Galaxy ESO 467-G051

Nicolas Meza, J. L. Prieto, A. Clocchiatti +10

We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the Type II supernova ASASSN-14jb, together with VLT MUSE IFU observations of its host galaxy and a nebular-phase spectrum. This S…

K2 Observations of SN 2018oh Reveal a Two-Component Rising Light Curve for a Type Ia Supernova

G. Dimitriadis, R. J. Foley, A. Rest +145

We present an exquisite, 30-min cadence Kepler (K2) light curve of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2018oh (ASASSN-18bt), starting weeks before explosion, covering the moment of explo…

Probing type Ia supernova properties using bolometric light curves from the Carnegie Supernova Project and the CfA Supernova Group

Richard A. Scalzo, Emilie Parent, Christopher Burns +11

We present bolometric light curves constructed from multi-wavelength photometry of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Carnegie Supernova Project and the CfA Supernova Group, usin…

LSST Target-of-Opportunity Observations of Gravitational Wave Events: Essential and Efficient

P. S. Cowperthwaite, V. A. Villar, D. M. Scolnic +1

We present simulated observations to assess the ability of LSST and the WFD survey to detect and characterize kilonovae - the optical emission associated with binary neutron star (…
