Photometric and Spectroscopic Properties of Type Ia Supernova 2018oh with Early Excess Emission from the 2 Observations

W. Li, X. Wang, J. Vinkó +160

Supernova (SN) 2018oh (ASASSN-18bt) is the first spectroscopically-confirmed type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observed in the field. The data revealed an excess emission…

First Resolution of Microlensed Images

Subo Dong, A. Mérand, F. Delplancke-Ströbele +12

We employ VLTI GRAVITY to resolve, for the first time, the two images generated by a gravitational microlens. The measurements of the image separation θ_{-,+}=3.78 +/- 0.05 mas, an…

Discovery of a Candidate Black Hole - Giant Star Binary System in the Galactic Field

Todd A. Thompson, Christopher S. Kochanek, Krzysztof Z. Stanek +14

We report the discovery of the first likely black hole in a non-interacting binary system with a field red giant. By combining radial velocity measurements from the Apache Point Ob…
