Sifting for Sapphires: Systematic Selection of Tidal Disruption Events in iPTF
T. Hung, S. Gezari, S. B. Cenko +15
We present results from a systematic selection of tidal disruption events (TDEs) in a wide-area (4800~deg), band, Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) experiment…
iPTF Survey for Cool Transients
S. M. Adams, N. Blagorodnova, M. M. Kasliwal +25
We performed a wide-area (2000 deg) g and I band experiment as part of a two month extension to the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory. We discovered 36 extragalactic tra…
iPTF16asu: A Luminous, Rapidly-Evolving, and High-Velocity Supernova
L. Whitesides, R. Lunnan, M. M. Kasliwal +23
Wide-field surveys are discovering a growing number of rare transients whose physical origin is not yet well understood. Here, we present optical and UV data and analysis of iPTF16…
iPTF17cw: An engine-driven supernova candidate discovered independent of a gamma-ray trigger
A. Corsi, S. B. Cenko, M. M. Kasliwal +21
We present the discovery, classification, and radio-to-X-ray follow-up observations of iPTF17cw, a broad-lined (BL) type Ic supernova (SN) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Tr…
Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernovae With Late-time H-alpha Emission: Three Events From the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory
Lin Yan, R. Lunnan, D. Perley +20
We present observations of two new hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSN-I), iPTF15esb and iPTF16bad, showing late-time H-alpha emission with line luminosities of (1-3)e+41…
iPTF16fnl: a faint and fast tidal disruption event in an E+A galaxy
N. Blagorodnova, S. Gezari, T. Hung +30
We present ground-based and \textit{Swift} observations of iPTF16fnl, a likely tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey a…
