The transitional gap transient AT 2018hso: new insights on the luminous red nova phenomenon
Y-Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, M. Fraser +20
Aims: AT 2018hso is a new transient showing transitional properties between those of LRNe and the class of intermediate luminosity red transients (ILRTs) similar to SN 2008S. Throu…
SN 2017gmr: An energetic Type II-P supernova with asymmetries
Jennifer E. Andrews, D. J. Sand, S. Valenti +77
We present high-cadence ultraviolet (UV), optical, and near-infrared (NIR) data on the luminous Type II-P supernova SN 2017gmr from hours after discovery through the first 180 days…
Observations of Type Ia Supernova 2014J for Nearly 900 Days and Constraints on Its Progenitor System
Wenxiong Li, Xiaofeng Wang, Maokai Hu +18
We present extensive ground-based and () photometry of the highly reddened, very nearby type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2014J in M82, covering the phases fr…
The Evolution of Luminous Red Nova AT 2017jfs in NGC 4470
A. Pastorello, T. -W. Chen, Y. -Z. Cai +43
We present the results of our photometric and spectroscopic follow-up of the intermediate-luminosity optical transient AT 2017jfs. At peak, the object reaches an absolute magnitude…
A luminous stellar outburst during a long-lasting eruptive phase first, and then SN IIn 2018cnf
A. Pastorello, A. Reguitti, A. Morales-Garoffolo +45
We present the results of the monitoring campaign of the Type IIn supernova (SN) 2018cnf (aka ASASSN-18mr). It was discovered about 10 days before the maximum light (on MJD = 58293…
Luminous Red Novae: Stellar Mergers or Giant Eruptions?
A. Pastorello, E. Mason, S. Taubenberger +36
We present extensive datasets for a class of intermediate-luminosity optical transients known as "luminous red novae" (LRNe). They show double-peaked light curves, with an initial…
Observations of A Fast-Expanding and UV-Bright Type Ia Supernova SN 2013gs
Tianmeng Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang, Xulin Zhao +21
In this paper, we present extensive optical and ultraviolet (UV) observations of the type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2013gs discovered during the Tsinghua-NAOC Transient Survey. The phot…
