Cryoscope: A Cryogenic Infrared Survey Telescope in Antarctica
Mansi M. Kasliwal, Nicholas Earley, Roger Smith +58
We present Cryoscope--a new 50 deg field-of-view, 1.2 m aperture, survey telescope to be located at Dome C, Antarctica. Cryoscope has an innovative optical-thermal d…
Minutes-duration Optical Flares with Supernova Luminosities
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Ping Chen +74
In recent years, certain luminous extragalactic optical transients have been observed to last only a few days. Their short observed duration implies a different powering mechanism…
A polarized fast radio burst at low Galactic latitude
E. Petroff, S. Burke-Spolaor, E. F. Keane +35
We report on the discovery of a new fast radio burst, FRB 150215, with the Parkes radio telescope on 2015 February 15. The burst was detected in real time with a dispersion measure…
Far-Ultraviolet to Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of A Nearby Hydrogen Poor Superluminous Supernova Gaia16apd
Lin Yan, R. Quimby, A. Gal-Yam +8
We report the first maximum-light far-Ultraviolet to near-infrared spectra (1000A - 1.62um, rest) of a H-poor superluminous supernova, Gaia16apd. At z=0.1018, it is one of the clos…
DES14X3taz: A Type I Superluminous Supernova Showing a Luminous, Rapidly Cooling Initial Pre-Peak Bump
M. Smith, M. Sullivan, C. B. D'Andrea +81
We present DES14X3taz, a new hydrogen-poor super luminous supernova (SLSN-I) discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) supernova program, with additional photometric data provided…
A New Constraint on the Physical Nature of Damped Lyman Alpha Systems
Jeff Cooke, John O'Meara
The formation and evolution of galaxies require large reservoirs of cold, neutral gas. The damped Lya systems (DLAs), seen in absorption towards distant quasars and gamma-ray burst…
Hubble Space Telescope studies of low-redshift Type Ia supernovae: Evolution with redshift and ultraviolet spectral trends
K. Maguire, M. Sullivan, R. S. Ellis +26
We present an analysis of the maximum light, near ultraviolet (NUV; 2900-5500 A) spectra of 32 low redshift (0.001<z<0.08) Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), obtained with the Hubble Spa…
Near-infrared observations of type Ia supernovae: The best known standard candle for cosmology
R. L. Barone-Nugent, C. Lidman, J. S. B. Wyithe +15
We present an analysis of the Hubble diagram for 12 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed in the near-infrared J and H bands. We select SNe exclusively from the redshift range 0.03…
The Subluminous and Peculiar Type Ia Supernova PTF09dav
M. Sullivan, M. M. Kasliwal, P. E. Nugent +17
PTF09dav is a peculiar subluminous type Ia supernova (SN) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). Spectroscopically, it appears superficially similar to the class of sub…
