Progenitor and Close-In Circumstellar Medium of Type II Supernova 2020fqv from High-Cadence Photometry and Ultra-Rapid UV Spectroscopy

Samaporn Tinyanont, Ryan Ridden-Harper, Ryan Foley +35

We present observations of SN 2020fqv, a Virgo-cluster Type II core-collapse supernova (CCSN) with a high temporal resolution light curve from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satel…

SN 2021csp -- the explosion of a stripped envelope star within a H and He-poor circumstellar medium

Morgan Fraser, Maximilian D. Stritzinger, Sean J. Brennan +48

We present observations of SN 2021csp, a unique supernova (SN) which displays evidence for interaction with H- and He- poor circumstellar material (CSM) at early times. Using high-…

A Search for Planetary Metastable Helium Absorption in the V1298 Tau System

Shreyas Vissapragada, Guðmundur Stefánsson, Michael Greklek-McKeon +28

Early in their lives, planets endure extreme amounts of ionizing radiation from their host stars. For planets with primordial hydrogen and helium-rich envelopes, this can lead to s…

The Gravity Collective: A Search for the Electromagnetic Counterpart to the Neutron Star-Black Hole Merger GW190814

Charles D. Kilpatrick, David A. Coulter, Iair Arcavi +79

We present optical follow-up imaging obtained with the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope, Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Nickel Telescope, Swope Telescope, and…

The Early Phases of Supernova 2020pni: Shock-Ionization of the Nitrogen-Enriched Circumstellar Material

G. Terreran, W. V. Jacobson-Galan, J. H. Groh +20

We present multiwavelength observations of the Type II SN 2020pni. Classified at days after explosion, the object showed narrow (FWHM $<250\,\textrm{km}\,\textrm{s}^{-1}…

An Early-Time Optical and Ultraviolet Excess in the type-Ic SN 2020oi

Alexander Gagliano, Luca Izzo, Charles D. Kilpatrick +30

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of Supernova 2020oi (SN 2020oi), a nearby (17 Mpc) type-Ic supernova (SN Ic) within the grand-design spiral M100. We und…

Discovery of a 310-day Period from the Enshrouded Massive System NaSt1 (WR 122)

Ryan M. Lau, Samaporn Tinyanont, Matthew J. Hankins +15

We present optical and infrared (IR) light curves of NaSt1, also known as Wolf-Rayet (WR) 122, with observations from Palomar Gattini-IR (PGIR), the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF)…

Metastable Helium Reveals an Extended Atmosphere for the Gas Giant HAT-P-18b

Kimberly Paragas, Shreyas Vissapragada, Heather A. Knutson +6

The metastable helium line at 1083 nm can be used to probe the extended upper atmospheres of close-in exoplanets and thus provide insight into their atmospheric mass loss, which is…

Infrared Spectropolarimetric Detection of Intrinsic Polarization from a Core-Collapse Supernova

Samaporn Tinyanont, Maxwell Millar-Blanchaer, Mansi Kasliwal +8

Massive stars die an explosive death as a core-collapse supernova (CCSN). The exact physical processes that cause the collapsing star to rebound into an explosion are not well-unde…

A population of heavily reddened, optically missed novae from Palomar Gattini-IR: Constraints on the Galactic nova rate

Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Matthew J. Hankins +25

The nova rate in the Milky Way remains largely uncertain, despite its vital importance in constraining models of Galactic chemical evolution as well as understanding progenitor cha…
