An Amusing Look at the Host of the Periodic Nuclear Transient ASASSN-14ko Reveals a Second AGN
M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee, J. T. Hinkle +10
We present Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) integral-field spectroscopy of ESO 253G003, which hosts a known Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) and the periodic nuclear transi…
A High-Cadence UV-Optical Telescope Suite On The Lunar South Pole
Scott W. Fleming, Thomas Barclay, Keaton J. Bell +14
We propose a suite of telescopes be deployed as part of the Artemis III human-crewed expedition to the lunar south pole, able to collect wide-field simultaneous far-ultraviolet (UV…
ASASSN-14ko is a Periodic Nuclear Transient in ESO 253-G003
Anna V. Payne, Benjamin J. Shappee, Jason T. Hinkle +24
We present the discovery that ASASSN-14ko is a periodically flaring AGN at the center of the galaxy ESO 253-G003. At the time of its discovery by the All-Sky Automated Survey for S…
SN2019yvq Does Not Conform to SN Ia Explosion Models
M. A. Tucker, C. Ashall, B. J. Shappee +7
We present new photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2019yvq, a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) exhibiting several peculiar properties including an excess of UV/optical flux w…
The Outburst of the Young Star Gaia19bey
Klaus W. Hodapp, Larry Denneau, Michael Tucker +10
We report photometry and spectroscopy of the outburst of the young stellar object Gaia19bey. We have established the outburst light curve with archival Gaia G, ATLAS Orange, ZTF r-…
Discovery and Follow-up of ASASSN-19dj: An X-ray and UV Luminous TDE in an Extreme Post-Starburst Galaxy
Jason T. Hinkle, T. W. -S. Holoien, K. Auchettl +28
We present observations of ASASSN-19dj, a nearby tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered in the post-starburst galaxy KUG 0810+227 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (A…
H Luminosity of ATLAS18qtd Does Not Plateau in the Nebular Phase
Michael A. Tucker, Benjamin J. Shappee
We present new spectroscopic and photometric observations of ATLAS18qtd/SN 2018cqj, a fast-declining Type Ia supernova with variable H emission in previously-published nebular p…
The Rise and Fall of ASASSN-18pg: Following a TDE from Early To Late Times
Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Katie Auchettl, Michael A. Tucker +29
We present nearly 500 days of observations of the tidal disruption event ASASSN-18pg, spanning from 54 days before peak light to 441 days after peak light. Our dataset includes X-r…
COol Companions ON Ultrawide orbiTS (COCONUTS). I. A High-Gravity T4 Benchmark around an Old White Dwarf and A Re-Examination of the Surface-Gravity Dependence of the L/T Transition
Zhoujian Zhang, Michael C. Liu, J. J. Hermes +7
We present the first discovery from the COol Companions ON Ultrawide orbiTS (COCONUTS) program, a large-scale survey for wide-orbit planetary and substellar companions. We have dis…
