Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite: Prompt Optical Counterparts and Afterglows of Swift-XRT Localized GRBs
Rahul Jayaraman, Michael Fausnaugh, George R. Ricker +1
Very few detections have been made of optical flashes contemporaneous with prompt high-energy emission from a gamma-ray burst (GRB). In this work, we present and analyze light curv…
Four years of Type Ia Supernovae Observed by TESS: Early Time Light Curve Shapes and Constraints on Companion Interaction Models
M. M. Fausnaugh, P. J. Vallely, M. A. Tucker +10
We present 307 Type Ia supernova (SN) light curves from the first four years of the TESS mission. We use this sample to characterize the shapes of the early time light curves, meas…
Observations of GRB 230307A by TESS
Michael M. Fausnaugh, Rahul Jayaraman, Roland Vanderspek +13
We present the TESS light curve of GRB 230307A. We find two distinct components: a bright, prompt optical component at the time of the Fermi observation that peaked at TESS magnitu…
A helium-burning white dwarf binary as a supersoft X-ray source
J. Greiner, C. Maitra, F. Haberl +12
Type Ia supernovae are cosmic distance indicators, and the main source of iron in the Universe, but their formation paths are still debated. Several dozen supersoft X-ray sources,…
Searching for Gravitational-Wave Counterparts using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
Geoffrey Mo, Rahul Jayaraman, Michael Fausnaugh +3
In 2017, the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave (GW) detectors, in conjunction with electromagnetic (EM) astronomers, observed the first GW multi-messenger astrophysical event, the…
