A population of highly energetic transient events in the centres of active galaxies
E. Kankare, R. Kotak, S. Mattila +25
Recent all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of new types of transients. These include stars disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and supernovae that are 10-100 ti…
The early detection and follow-up of the highly obscured Type II supernova 2016ija/DLT16am
L. Tartaglia, D. J. Sand, S. Valenti +45
We present our analysis of the Type II supernova DLT16am (SN~2016ija). The object was discovered during the ongoing (DLT40) one day cadence supernova search a…
The Foundation Supernova Survey: Motivation, Design, Implementation, and First Data Release
Ryan J. Foley, Daniel Scolnic, Armin Rest +25
The Foundation Supernova Survey aims to provide a large, high-fidelity, homogeneous, and precisely-calibrated low-redshift Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) sample for cosmology. The calib…
Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernovae from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey
R. Lunnan, R. Chornock, E. Berger +31
We present light curves and classification spectra of 17 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey (PS1 MDS). Our sample contains all o…
LSQ14efd: observations of the cooling of a shock break-out event in a type Ic Supernova
C. Barbarino, M. T. Botticella, M. Dall'Ora +29
We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the type Ic supernova LSQ14efd, discovered by the La Silla QUEST survey and followed by PESSTO. LSQ14efd was discovered fe…
Observations of the GRB afterglow ATLAS17aeu and its possible association with GW170104
B. Stalder, J. Tonry, S. J. Smartt +26
We report the discovery and multi-wavelength data analysis of the peculiar optical transient, ATLAS17aeu. This transient was identified in the skymap of the LIGO gravitational wave…
