Luminous Red Nova AT 2019zhd, a new merger in M 31
A. Pastorello, M. Fraser, G. Valerin +20
We present the follow-up campaign of the luminous red nova (LRN) AT~2019zhd, the third event of this class observed in M 31. The object was followed by several sky surveys for abou…
SN 2019muj -- a well-observed Type Iax supernova that bridges the luminosity gap of the class
Barnabás Barna, Tamás Szalai, Saurabh W. Jha +38
We present early-time ( days) observations of SN 2019muj (= ASASSN-19tr), one of the best-observed members of the peculiar SN Iax class. Ultraviolet and optical photometri…
The luminous red nova variety: AT 2020hat and AT 2020kog
A. Pastorello, G. Valerin, M. Fraser +32
We present the results of our monitoring campaigns of the luminous red novae (LRNe) AT 2020hat in NGC 5068 and AT 2020kog in NGC 6106. The two objects were imaged (and detected) be…
PS15cey and PS17cke: prospective candidates from the Pan-STARRS Search for Kilonovae
Owen R. McBrien, Stephen J. Smartt, Mark E. Huber +22
Time domain astronomy was revolutionised with the discovery of the first kilonova, AT2017gfo, in August 2017 which was associated with the gravitational wave signal GW170817. Since…
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…
