GRB 210619B: first gamma-ray burst detection by the novel polarimeter MOPTOP
M. Shrestha, I. A. Steele, S. Kobayashi +4
GRB~210619B was a bright long gamma-ray burst (GRB) which was optically followed up by the novel polarimeter MOPTOP on the Liverpool Telescope (LT). This was the first GRB detectio…
Characterization of a dual-beam, dual-camera optical imaging polarimeter
Manisha Shrestha, Iain A. Steele, Andrez S. Piascik +3
Polarization plays an important role in various time-domain astrophysics to understand the magnetic fields, geometry, and environments of spatially unresolved variable sources. In…
Full orbital solution for the binary system in the northern Galactic disc microlensing event Gaia16aye
Łukasz Wyrzykowski, P. Mróz, K. A. Rybicki +182
Gaia16aye was a binary microlensing event discovered in the direction towards the northern Galactic disc and was one of the first microlensing events detected and alerted to by the…
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…
Laying the Groundwork for the Development of the Data Archive of the New Robotic Telescope
Marco C. Lam, Bovornpratch Vijarnwannaluk, Pathompong Butpan +5
The Liverpool Telescope has been in fully autonomous operation since 2004. The supporting data archive facility has largely been untouched. The data provision service has not been…
SN 2016coi/ASASSN-16fp: An example of residual helium in a type Ic supernova?
S. J. Prentice, C. Ashall, P. A. Mazzali +35
The optical observations of Ic-4 supernova (SN) 2016coi/ASASSN-16fp, from to days after explosion, are presented along with analysis of its physical properties.…
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…
Optical photometry and spectroscopy of the low-luminosity, broad-lined Ic supernova iPTF15dld
E. Pian, L. Tomasella, E. Cappellaro +37
Core-collapse stripped-envelope supernova (SN) explosions reflect the diversity of physical parameters and evolutionary paths of their massive star progenitors. We have observed th…
Spectroscopy of candidate electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave sources
Iain A Steele, Chris M Copperwheat, Andrzej S Piascik
A programme of worldwide, multi-wavelength electromagnetic follow-up of sources detected by gravitational wave detectors is in place. Following the discovery of GW150914 and GW1512…
Liverpool Telescope follow-up of candidate electromagnetic counterparts during the first run of Advanced LIGO
C. M. Copperwheat, I. A. Steele, A. S. Piascik +17
The first direct detection of gravitational waves was made in late 2015 with the Advanced LIGO detectors. By prior arrangement, a worldwide collaboration of electromagnetic follow-…
A remarkable recurrent nova in M31: Discovery and optical/UV observations of the predicted 2014 eruption
M. J. Darnley, M. Henze, I. A. Steele +20
The Andromeda Galaxy recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a had been caught in eruption eight times. The inter-eruption period of M31N 2008-12a is ~1 year, making it the most rapidly recurri…
Liverpool Telescope 2: a new robotic facility for rapid transient follow-up
C. M. Copperwheat, I. A. Steele, R. M. Barnsley +23
The Liverpool Telescope is one of the world's premier facilities for time domain astronomy. The time domain landscape is set to radically change in the coming decade, with surveys…
