SN 2018fif: The Explosion of a Large Red Supergiant Discovered in Its Infancy by the Zwicky Transient Facility

Maayane T. Soumagnac, Noam Ganot, Ido Irani +32

High cadence transient surveys are able to capture supernovae closer to their first light than before. Applying analytical models to such early emission, we can constrain the proge…

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…

SN 2016hil-- a Type II supernova in the remote outskirts of an elliptical host and its origin

Ido Irani, Steve Schulze, Avishay Gal-Yam +14

Type II supernovae (SNe) stem from the core collapse of massive () stars. Owing to their short lifespan, we expect a very low rate of such events in elliptical host…

The Young and Nearby Normal Type Ia Supernova 2018gv: UV-Optical Observations and the Earliest Spectropolarimetry

Yi Yang, Peter A. Hoeflich, Dietrich Baade +25

The non-detection of companion stars in Type Ia supernova (SN) progenitor systems lends support to the notion of double-degenerate (DD) systems and explosions triggered by the merg…

Discovery of Highly Blueshifted Broad Balmer and Metastable Helium Absorption Lines in a Tidal Disruption Event

T. Hung, S. B. Cenko, Nathaniel Roth +25

We report the discovery of non-stellar hydrogen Balmer and metastable helium absorption lines accompanying a transient, high-velocity (0.05) broad absorption line (BAL) system i…
