A non-equipartition shockwave traveling in a dense circumstellar environment around SN2020oi

Assaf Horesh, Itai Sfaradi, Mattias Ergon +34

We report the discovery and panchromatic followup observations of the young Type Ic supernova, SN2020oi, in M100, a grand design spiral galaxy at a mere distance of Mpc. We fo…

Kilonova Luminosity Function Constraints based on Zwicky Transient Facility Searches for 13 Neutron Star Mergers

Mansi M. Kasliwal, Shreya Anand, Tomas Ahumada +100

We present a systematic search for optical counterparts to 13 gravitational wave (GW) triggers involving at least one neutron star during LIGO/Virgo's third observing run. We searc…

A tidal disruption event coincident with a high-energy neutrino

Robert Stein, Sjoert van Velzen, Marek Kowalski +55

Cosmic neutrinos provide a unique window into the otherwise-hidden mechanism of particle acceleration in astrophysical objects. A flux of high-energy neutrinos was discovered in 20…

ZTF18aalrxas: A Type IIb Supernova from a very extended low-mass progenitor

C. Fremling, H. Ko, A. Dugas +31

We investigate ZTF18aalrxas, a double-peaked Type IIb core-collapse supernova (SN) discovered during science validation of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). ZTF18aalrxas was dis…
