The Superluminous Transient ASASSN-15lh as a Tidal Disruption Event from a Kerr Black Hole
G. Leloudas, M. Fraser, N. C. Stone +47
When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart. For a star with the mass of the Sun () and a non-spinning black hole with a…
The 2-degree Field Lensing Survey: design and clustering measurements
Chris Blake, Alexandra Amon, Michael Childress +16
We present the 2-degree Field Lensing Survey (2dFLenS), a new galaxy redshift survey performed at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. 2dFLenS is the first wide-area spectroscopic surve…
Supernova 2013by: A Type IIL Supernova with a IIP-like light curve drop
S. Valenti, D. Sand, M. Stritzinger +11
We present multi-band ultraviolet and optical light curves, as well as visual-wavelength and near-infrared spectroscopy of the Type II linear (IIL) supernova (SN) 2013by. We show t…
Type Ia Supernova Distance Modulus Bias and Dispersion From K-correction Errors: A Direct Measurement Using Lightcurve Fits to Observed Spectral Time Series
C. Saunders, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +34
We estimate systematic errors due to K-corrections in standard photometric analyses of high redshift Type Ia supernovae. Errors due to K-correction occur when the spectral template…
A metric space for type Ia supernova spectra
Michele Sasdelli, W. Hillebrandt, G. Aldering +43
We develop a new framework for use in exploring Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) spectra. Combining Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Square analysis (PLS) we are able…
PESSTO : survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects
S. J. Smartt, S. Valenti, M. Fraser +99
The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. We describe the data reduction str…
