A flash of polarized optical light points to an aspherical "cow"
J. R. Maund, P. A. Hoeflich, I. A. Steele +8
The astronomical transient AT2018cow is the closest example of the new class of luminous, fast blue optical transients (FBOTs). Liverpool Telescope RINGO3 observations of AT2018cow…
The Core Normal Type Ia Supernova 2019np: An Overall Spherical Explosion with an Aspherical Surface Layer and an Aspherical 56Ni Core
Peter Hoeflich, Yi Yang, Dietrich Baade +10
Optical spectropolarimetry of the normal thermonuclear supernova SN2019np from -14.5 to +14.5 days relative to B-band maximum detected an intrinsic continuum polarization, p(cont),…
An 18.9-minute Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsator Crossing the 'Hertzsprung Gap' of Hot Subdwarfs
Jie Lin, Chengyuan Wu, Xiaofeng Wang +28
Blue large-amplitude pulsators (BLAPs) represent a new and rare class of hot pulsating stars with unusually large amplitudes and short periods. Up to now, only 24 confirmed BLAPs h…
Observations of Type Ia Supernova 2014J for Nearly 900 Days and Constraints on Its Progenitor System
Wenxiong Li, Xiaofeng Wang, Maokai Hu +18
We present extensive ground-based and () photometry of the highly reddened, very nearby type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2014J in M82, covering the phases fr…
Late-time Flattening of Type Ia Supernova Light Curves: Constraints From SN 2014J in M82
Yi Yang, Lifan Wang, Dietrich Baade +11
The very nearby Type Ia supernova 2014J in M82 offers a rare opportunity to study the physics of thermonuclear supernovae at extremely late phases (800 days). Using the Hu…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type IIb SN 2008aq
H. F. Stevance, J. R. Maund, D. Baade +8
We present optical spectroscopy and spectropolarimetry of the Type IIb SN 2008aq 16 days and 27 days post-explosion. The spectrum of SN 2008aq remained dominated by Halpha P Cygni…
The expanding light echoes from supernova 2014J in M82
Yi Yang, Lifan Wang, Dietrich Baade +10
We present the measurement of the size and surface brightness of the expanding light echoes from supernova (SN) 2014J in the nearby starburst galaxy M82. Hubble Space Telescope (HS…
