The fate of the failed supernova candidate M31-2014-DS1
Emma R. Beasor, Nathan Smith, Jeniveve Pearson +4
The fate of massive stars above 20M remains uncertain. Debate persists about whether they die as supernovae (SNe), or if they collapse directly into black holes (BHs) wit…
Spectroscopy of AT 2016blu's recurring supernova impostor outbursts
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Nathan Smith, Jennifer E. Andrews +7
We present spectra of the supernova (SN) impostor AT 2016blu spanning over a decade. This transient exhibits quasiperiodic outbursts with a 113 d period, likely triggered by…
AT 2020iko: a WZ Sge-type DN candidate with an anomalous precursor event
Monika Soraisam, Sarah DeSantis, Chien-Hsiu Lee +11
The ongoing Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey is generating a massive alert rate from a variety of optical transients and variable stars, which are being filtered down to subs…
SN 2014ab: An Aspherical Type IIn Supernova with Low Polarization
Christopher Bilinski, Nathan Smith, G. Grant Williams +20
We present photometry, spectra, and spectropolarimetry of supernova (SN) 2014ab, obtained through days after peak brightness. SN 2014ab was a luminous Type IIn SN ($M_V…
