SN 2017gci: a nearby Type I Superluminous Supernova with a bumpy tail
Achille Fiore, Ting-Wan Chen, Anders Jerkstrand +26
We present and discuss the optical spectro-photometric observations of the nearby (z=0.087) Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN I) SN 2017gci, whose peak K-corrected absolute magn…
Accretion disc cooling and narrow absorption lines in the tidal disruption event AT 2019dsg
G. Cannizzaro, T. Wevers, P. G. Jonker +23
We present the results of a large multi-wavelength follow-up campaign of the Tidal Disruption Event (TDE) \dsg, focusing on low to high resolution optical spectroscopy, X-ray, and…
Luminous Type II Short-Plateau Supernovae 2006Y, 2006ai, and 2016egz: A Transitional Class from Stripped Massive Red Supergiants
Daichi Hiramatsu, D. Andrew Howell, Takashi J. Moriya +21
The diversity of Type II supernovae (SNe II) is thought to be driven mainly by differences in their progenitor's hydrogen-rich (H-rich) envelope mass, with SNe IIP having long plat…
SN 2018gjx reveals that some SNe Ibn are SNe IIb exploding in dense circumstellar material
S. J. Prentice, K. Maguire, I. Boian +27
We present the data and analysis of SN 2018gjx, an unusual low-luminosity transient with three distinct spectroscopic phases. Phase I shows a hot blue spectrum with signatures of i…
SN 2019ehk: A Double-Peaked Ca-rich Transient with Luminous X-ray Emission and Shock-Ionized Spectral Features
Wynn V. Jacobson-Galán, Raffaella Margutti, Charles D. Kilpatrick +64
We present panchromatic observations and modeling of the Calcium-rich supernova 2019ehk in the star-forming galaxy M100 (d16.2 Mpc) starting 10 hours after explosion and c…
The low-luminosity type II SN\,2016aqf: A well-monitored spectral evolution of the Ni/Fe abundance ratio
Tomás E. Müller-Bravo, Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Mark Sullivan +20
Low-luminosity type II supernovae (LL SNe~II) make up the low explosion energy end of core-collapse SNe, but their study and physical understanding remain limited. We present SN\,2…
An outflow powers the optical rise of the nearby, fast-evolving tidal disruption event AT2019qiz
M. Nicholl, T. Wevers, S. R. Oates +42
At 66 Mpc, AT2019qiz is the closest optical tidal disruption event (TDE) to date, with a luminosity intermediate between the bulk of the population and iPTF16fnl. Its proximity all…
