Bright, months-long stellar outbursts announce the explosion of interaction-powered supernovae

Nora L. Strotjohann, Eran O. Ofek, Avishay Gal-Yam +53

Interaction-powered supernovae (SNe) explode within an optically-thick circumstellar medium (CSM) that could be ejected during eruptive events. To identify and characterize such pr…

Optical follow-up of the neutron star-black hole mergers S200105ae and S200115j

Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin, Mansi M. Kasliwal +46

LIGO and Virgo's third observing run (O3) revealed the first neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger candidates in gravitational waves. These events are predicted to synthesize r-pro…

A non-equipartition shockwave traveling in a dense circumstellar environment around SN2020oi

Assaf Horesh, Itai Sfaradi, Mattias Ergon +34

We report the discovery and panchromatic followup observations of the young Type Ic supernova, SN2020oi, in M100, a grand design spiral galaxy at a mere distance of Mpc. We fo…

Zwicky Transient Facility constraints on the optical emission from the nearby repeating FRB 180916.J0158+65

Igor Andreoni, Wenbin Lu, Roger M. Smith +16

The discovery rate of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is increasing dramatically thanks to new radio facilities. Meanwhile, wide-field instruments such as the 47 deg Zwicky Transient…

The Koala: A Fast Blue Optical Transient with Luminous Radio Emission from a Starburst Dwarf Galaxy at

Anna Y. Q. Ho, D. A. Perley, S. R. Kulkarni +25

We present ZTF18abvkwla (the "Koala"), a fast blue optical transient discovered in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) One-Day Cadence (1DC) Survey. ZTF18abvkwla has a number of fe…

ZTF Early Observations of Type Ia Supernovae III: Early-Time Colors as a Test for Explosion Models and Multiple Populations

Mattia Bulla, Adam A. Miller, Yuhan Yao +22

Colors of Type Ia supernovae in the first few days after explosion provide a potential discriminant between different models. In this paper, we present colors of 65 Type Ia s…
