Designing an Optimal Kilonova Search using DECam for Gravitational Wave Events
C. R. Bom, J. Annis, A. Garcia +67
We address the problem of optimally identifying all kilonovae detected via gravitational wave emission in the upcoming LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Collaboration observing run, O4, which is ex…
Core-collapse Supernovae in the Dark Energy Survey: Luminosity Functions and Host Galaxy Demographics
M. Grayling, C. P. Gutiérrez, M. Sullivan +73
We present the luminosity functions and host galaxy properties of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) core-collapse supernova (CCSN) sample, consisting of 69 Type II and 50 Type Ibc spect…
Neutrino follow-up with the Zwicky Transient Facility: Results from the first 24 campaigns
Robert Stein, Simeon Reusch, Anna Franckowiak +33
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) performs a systematic neutrino follow-up program, searching for optical counterparts to high-energy neutrinos with dedicated Target-of-Opportuni…
SOAR/Goodman Spectroscopic Assessment of Candidate Counterparts of the LIGO-Virgo Event GW190814
Douglas Tucker, Matthew Wiesner, Sahar Allam +140
On 2019 August 14 at 21:10:39 UTC, the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) detected a possible neutron star-black hole merger (NSBH), the first ever identified. An extensive search for…
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…
Understanding the extreme luminosity of DES14X2fna
M. Grayling, C. P. Gutiérrez, M. Sullivan +66
We present DES14X2fna, a high-luminosity, fast-declining type IIb supernova (SN IIb) at redshift , detected by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). DES14X2fna is an unusual memb…
A DESGW Search for the Electromagnetic Counterpart to the LIGO/Virgo Gravitational Wave Binary Neutron Star Merger Candidate S190510g
DES Collaboration, A. Garcia, R. Morgan +87
We present the results from a search for the electromagnetic counterpart of the LIGO/Virgo event S190510g using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). S190510g is a binary neutron star (B…
Constraints on the Physical Properties of GW190814 through Simulations based on DECam Follow-up Observations by the Dark Energy Survey
R. Morgan, M. Soares-Santos, J. Annis +99
On 14 August 2019, the LIGO and Virgo Collaborations detected gravitational waves from a black hole and a 2.6 solar mass compact object, possibly the first neutron star -- black ho…
A DECam Search for Explosive Optical Transients Associated with IceCube Neutrinos
R. Morgan, K. Bechtol, R. Kessler +65
In this work, we investigate the likelihood of association between realtime, TeV-PeV energy neutrino alerts from IceCube and optical counterparts in the form of core-collapse super…
