A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…
The rise and fall of the iron-strong nuclear transient PS16dtm
T. Petrushevska, G. Leloudas, D. Ilic +30
Thanks to the advent of large-scale optical surveys, a diverse set of flares from the nuclear regions of galaxies has recently been discovered. These include the disruption of star…
The double-peaked type Ic Supernova 2019cad: another SN 2005bf-like object
C. P. Gutiérrez, M. C. Bersten, M. Orellana +23
We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of supernova (SN) 2019cad during the first days from explosion. Based on the light curve morphology, we find that S…
Real-time Discovery of AT2020xnd: A Fast, Luminous Ultraviolet Transient with Minimal Radioactive Ejecta
Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Yuhan Yao +29
The many unusual properties of the enigmatic AT2018cow suggested that at least some subset of the empirical class of fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) represents a genuinely new…
OzDES multi-object fibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: Results and second data release
C. Lidman, B. E. Tucker, T. M. Davis +101
We present a description of the Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES) and summarise the results from its six years of operations. Using the 2dF fibre positioner and AAOmega spectro…
The Host Galaxies of Rapidly Evolving Transients in the Dark Energy Survey
P. Wiseman, M. Pursiainen, M. Childress +72
Rapidly evolving transients (RETs), also termed fast blue optical transients (FBOTs), are a distinct class of astrophysical event. They are characterised by lightcurves that declin…
