1100 days in the life of the supernova 2018ibb -- The best pair-instability supernova candidate, to date
Steve Schulze, Claes Fransson, Alexandra Kozyreva +63
Abridged - Stars with ZAMS masses between 140 and are thought to explode as pair-instability supernovae (PISNe). During their thermonuclear runaway, PISNe can produce…
A Systematic Exploration of Kilonova Candidates from Neutron Star Mergers During the Third Gravitational Wave Observing Run
J. Rastinejad, K. Paterson, W. Fong +9
We present a comprehensive analysis of 653 optical candidate counterparts reported during the third gravitational wave (GW) observing run. Our sample concentrates on candidates fro…
Deep Co-Added Sky from Catalina Sky Survey Images
Akshat Singhal, Varun Bhalerao, Ashish A. Mahabal +12
A number of synoptic sky surveys are underway or being planned. Typically they are done with small telescopes and relatively short exposure times. A search for transient or variabl…
Pre-discovery Activity of New Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov Beyond 5 AU
Quanzhi Ye, Michael S. P. Kelley, Bryce T. Bolin +15
Comet 2I/Borisov, the first unambiguous interstellar comet ever found, was discovered in August 2019 at au from the Sun on its inbound leg. No pre-discovery detection beyon…
Searches After Gravitational-waves Using ARizona Observatories (SAGUARO): System Overview and First Results from Advanced LIGO/Virgo's Third Observing Run
M. J. Lundquist, K. Paterson, W. Fong +53
We present Searches After Gravitational-waves Using ARizona Observatories (SAGUARO), a comprehensive effort dedicated to the discovery and characterization of optical counterparts…
Results of a systematic search for outburst events in 1.4 million galaxies
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, M. J. Graham +5
We present an analysis of nine years of Catalina Surveys optical photometry for 1.4 million spectroscopically confirmed SDSS galaxies. We find 717 outburst events that were not rep…
