AT2018lqh and the nature of the emerging population of day-scale duration optical transients
E. O. Ofek, S. M. Adams, E. Waxman +18
We report on the discovery of AT2018lqh (ZTF18abfzgpl) -- a rapidly-evolving extra-galactic transient in a star-forming host at 242 Mpc. The transient g-band light curve's duration…
A Search for Extragalactic Fast Blue Optical Transients in ZTF and the Rate of AT2018cow-like Transients
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Avishay Gal-Yam +40
We present a search for extragalactic fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) during Phase I of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). We identify 38 candidates with durations above hal…
The search for failed supernovae with the Large Binocular Telescope: a new candidate and the failed SN fraction with 11 yr of data
J. M. M. Neustadt, C. S. Kochanek, K. Z. Stanek +5
We present updated results of the Large Binocular Telescope Search for Failed Supernovae. This search monitors luminous stars in 27 nearby galaxies with a current baseline of 11~yr…
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…
