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…

Constraining the Kilonova Rate with Zwicky Transient Facility Searches Independent of Gravitational Wave and Short Gamma-ray Burst Triggers

Igor Andreoni, Erik C. Kool, Ana Sagues Carracedo +34

The first binary neutron star merger, GW170817, was accompanied by a radioactivity-powered optical/infrared transient called a kilonova. To date, no compelling kilonova has been fo…

SN2020bvc: a Broad-lined Type Ic Supernova with a Double-peaked Optical Light Curve and a Luminous X-ray and Radio Counterpart

A. Y. Q. Ho, S. R. Kulkarni, D. A. Perley +34

We present optical, radio, and X-ray observations of SN2020bvc (=ASASSN20bs; ZTF20aalxlis), a nearby (; =114 Mpc) broad-lined (BL) Type Ic supernova (SN). Our observat…
