GROWTH on S190814bv: Deep Synoptic Limits on the Optical/Near-Infrared Counterpart to a Neutron Star-Black Hole Merger
Igor Andreoni, Daniel A. Goldstein, Mansi M. Kasliwal +49
On 2019 August 14, the Advanced LIGO and Virgo interferometers detected the high-significance gravitational wave (GW) signal S190814bv. The GW data indicated that the event resulte…
To TDE or not to TDE: The luminous transient ASASSN-18jd with TDE-like and AGN-like qualities
J. M. M. Neustadt, T. W. -S. Holoien, C. S. Kochanek +26
We present the discovery of ASASSN-18jd (AT 2018bcb), a luminous optical/UV/X-ray transient located in the nucleus of the galaxy 2MASX J22434289--1659083 at . Over the ye…
The 2018 outburst of BHXB H1743-322 as seen with MeerKAT
D. R. A. Williams, S. E. Motta, R. Fender +11
In recent years, the black hole candidate X-ray binary system H1743-322 has undergone outbursts and it has been observed with X-ray and radio telescopes. We present 1.3 GHz MeerKAT…
SN2018kzr: a rapidly declining transient from the destruction of a white dwarf
Owen R. McBrien, Stephen J. Smartt, Ting-Wan Chen +31
We present SN2018kzr, the fastest declining supernova-like transient, second only to the kilonova, AT2017gfo. SN2018kzr is characterized by a peak magnitude of , peak…
Hot, dense He II outflows during the 2017 outburst of the X-ray transient Swift J1357.2-0933
Phil Charles, James H. Matthews, David A. H. Buckley +3
Time-resolved SALT spectra of the short-period, dipping X-ray transient, Swift J1357.2-0933, during its 2017 outburst has revealed broad Balmer and HeII4686 absorption features, bl…
Supersoft X-ray emission from a white dwarf binary not powered by nuclear fusion
Thomas J. Maccarone, Thomas J. Nelson, Peter J. Brown +17
Supersoft X-ray sources are stellar objects which emit X-rays with temperatures of about 1 million Kelvin and luminosities well in excess of what can be produced by stellar coronae…
