Late-time H/He-poor circumstellar interaction in the type-Ic supernova SN 2021ocs: an exposed oxygen-magnesium layer and extreme stripping of the progenitor
H. Kuncarayakti, K. Maeda, L. Dessart +14
Supernova (SN) 2021ocs was discovered in the galaxy NGC 7828 () within the interacting system Arp 144, and subsequently classified as a normal type-Ic SN around peak b…
Observations of the luminous red nova AT 2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC 4631
Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, M. Fraser +73
We present an observational study of the luminous red nova (LRN) AT\,2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC\,4631. The field of the object was routinely imaged during the pre-eruptive st…
Panchromatic evolution of three luminous red novae: Forbidden hugs in pandemic times -- IV
A. Pastorello, G. Valerin, M. Fraser +77
We present photometric and spectroscopic data on three extragalactic luminous red novae (LRNe): AT2018bwo, AT2021afy, and AT2021blu. AT2018bwo was discovered in NGC45 (at 6.8 Mpc)…
Luminous Red Nova AT 2019zhd, a new merger in M 31
A. Pastorello, M. Fraser, G. Valerin +20
We present the follow-up campaign of the luminous red nova (LRN) AT~2019zhd, the third event of this class observed in M 31. The object was followed by several sky surveys for abou…
The luminous red nova variety: AT 2020hat and AT 2020kog
A. Pastorello, G. Valerin, M. Fraser +32
We present the results of our monitoring campaigns of the luminous red novae (LRNe) AT 2020hat in NGC 5068 and AT 2020kog in NGC 6106. The two objects were imaged (and detected) be…
Observational constraints on the optical and near-infrared emission from the neutron star-black hole binary merger S190814bv
K. Ackley, L. Amati, C. Barbieri +151
On 2019 August 14, the LIGO and Virgo interferometers detected a high-significance event labelled S190814bv. Preliminary analysis of the GW data suggests that the event was likely…
