A population of heavily reddened, optically missed novae from Palomar Gattini-IR: Constraints on the Galactic nova rate

Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Matthew J. Hankins +25

The nova rate in the Milky Way remains largely uncertain, despite its vital importance in constraining models of Galactic chemical evolution as well as understanding progenitor cha…

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…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. XII. Broad-Line Region Modeling of NGC 5548

P. R. Williams, A. Pancoast, T. Treu +155

We present geometric and dynamical modeling of the broad line region for the multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign focused on NGC 5548 in 2014. The dataset includes photo…

The Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe I: Systematic search for Calcium rich gap transients reveal three related spectroscopic sub-classes

Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Anastasios Tzanidakis +47

(Abridged) Using the Zwicky Transient Facility alert stream, we are conducting a large campaign to spectroscopically classify all transients occurring in galaxies in the Census of…

Progenitor, Precursor and Evolution of the Dusty Remnant of the Stellar Merger M31-LRN-2015

Nadejda Blagorodnova, Viraj Karambelkar, Scott M. Adams +12

M31-2015-LRN is a likely stellar merger discovered in the Andromeda Galaxy in 2015. We present new optical to mid-infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy for this event. Archi…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. IX. Velocity-Delay Maps for Broad Emission Lines in NGC 5548

Keith Horne, G. De Rosa, B. M. Peterson +155

We report velocity-delay maps for prominent broad emission lines, Ly_alpha, CIV, HeII and H_beta, in the spectrum of NGC5548. The emission-line responses inhabit the interior of a…
