The ZTF Source Classification Project: III. A Catalog of Variable Sources
Brian F. Healy, Michael W. Coughlin, Ashish A. Mahabal +22
The classification of variable objects provides insight into a wide variety of astrophysics ranging from stellar interiors to galactic nuclei. The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) p…
Minutes-duration Optical Flares with Supernova Luminosities
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Ping Chen +74
In recent years, certain luminous extragalactic optical transients have been observed to last only a few days. Their short observed duration implies a different powering mechanism…
The first systematically identified repeating partial tidal disruption event
Jean J. Somalwar, Vikram Ravi, Yuhan Yao +13
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star enters the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). If the star only grazes the tidal radius, a fraction of the stellar ma…
Characterizing the Ordinary Broad-lined Type Ic SN 2023pel from the Energetic GRB 230812B
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Vishwajeet Swain, Brendan M. O'Connor +39
We report observations of the optical counterpart of the long gamma-ray burst (LGRB) GRB 230812B, and its associated supernova (SN) SN 2023pel. The proximity () and high…
Early-time spectroscopic modelling of the transitional Type Ia Supernova 2021rhu with TARDIS
Luke Harvey, Kate Maguire, Mark R. Magee +15
An open question in SN Ia research is where the boundary lies between 'normal' Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that are used in cosmological measurements and those that sit off the Phi…
