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…

Magnification, dust and time-delay constraints from the first resolved strongly lensed Type Ia supernova

S. Dhawan, J. Johansson, A. Goobar +14

We report lensing magnifications, extinction, and time-delay estimates for the first resolved, multiply-imaged Type Ia supernova iPTF16geu, at , using $Hubble\,Space\,Te…

Illuminating Gravitational Waves: A Concordant Picture of Photons from a Neutron Star Merger

M. M. Kasliwal, E. Nakar, L. P. Singer +78

Merging neutron stars offer an exquisite laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an…

iPTF14yb: The First Discovery of a GRB Afterglow Independent of a High-Energy Trigger

S. Bradley Cenko, Alex L. Urban, Daniel A. Perley +34

We report here the discovery by the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) of iPTF14yb, a luminous ( mag), cosmological (redshift 1.9733), rapidly fading…

Diversity in extinction laws of Type Ia supernovae measured between and

R. Amanullah, J. Johansson, A. Goobar +36

We present ultraviolet (UV) observations of six nearby Type~Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope, three of which were also observed in the near-IR (NIR)…

Lyman-alpha Forest Tomography from Background Galaxies: The First Megaparsec-Resolution Large-Scale Structure Map at z>2

Khee-Gan Lee, Joseph F. Hennawi, Casey Stark +21

We present the first observations of foreground Lyman- forest absorption from high-redshift galaxies, targeting 24 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) with within a $5'…
