AT2018kzr: the merger of an oxygen-neon white dwarf and a neutron star or black hole
James H. Gillanders, Stuart A. Sim, Stephen J. Smartt
We present detailed spectroscopic analysis of the extraordinarily fast-evolving transient AT2018kzr. The transient's observed lightcurve showed a rapid decline rate, comparable to…
Design and operation of the ATLAS Transient Science Server
K. W. Smith, S. J. Smartt, D. R. Young +19
The Asteroid Terrestrial impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) system consists of two 0.5m Schmidt telescopes with cameras covering 29 square degrees at plate scale of 1.86 arcsec per p…
The lowest of the low: discovery of SN 2019gsc and the nature of faint Iax supernovae
Shubham Srivastav, Stephen J. Smartt, Giorgos Leloudas +15
We present the discovery and optical follow-up of the faintest supernova-like transient known. The event (SN 2019gsc) was discovered in a star-forming host at 53\,Mpc by ATLAS. A d…
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…
