The First Multi-Messenger Nova: External Shocks, TeV Photons, and Neutrinos in the Next Eruption of T CrB
E. Aydi, P. Craig, K. V. Sokolovsky +10
T Coronae Borealis is the most compelling anticipated Galactic recurrent nova and one of the best opportunities to test whether nova eruptions can become genuine multi-messenger tr…
What determines the -ray luminosities of classical novae?
Peter Craig, Elias Aydi, Laura Chomiuk +25
Classical novae in the Milky Way have now been well-established as high-energy GeV -ray sources. In novae with main-sequence companions, this emission is believed to result from…
Uniform Modeling of Observed Kilonovae: Implications for Diversity and the Progenitors of Merger-Driven Long Gamma-Ray Bursts
J. C. Rastinejad, W. Fong, C. D. Kilpatrick +2
We present uniform modeling of eight kilonovae, five following short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs; including GRB170817A) and three following long GRBs. We model their broadband afterglow…
Constraints on Relativistic Jets from the Fast X-ray Transient 210423 using Prompt Radio Follow-Up Observations
Dina Ibrahimzade, R. Margutti, J. S. Bright +16
Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are a new observational class of phenomena with no clear physical origin. This is at least partially a consequence of limited multi-wavelength follow u…
A Radio Study of Persistent Radio Sources in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies: Implications for Fast Radio Bursts
Y. Dong, T. Eftekhari, W. Fong +17
We present 1 - 12 GHz Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observations of 9 off-nuclear persistent radio sources (PRSs) in nearby (z < 0.055) dwarf galaxies, along with high-resolution…
A Hubble Space Telescope Search for r-Process Nucleosynthesis in Gamma-ray Burst Supernovae
J. C. Rastinejad, W. Fong, A. J. Levan +23
The existence of a secondary (in addition to compact object mergers) source of heavy element (-process) nucleosynthesis, the core-collapse of rapidly-rotating and highly-magneti…
TESS photometry of the nova eruption in V606 Vul: asymmetric photosphere and multiple ejections?
Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Elias Aydi, Konstantin Malanchev +70
Lightcurves of many classical novae deviate from the canonical "fast rise - smooth decline" pattern and display complex variability behavior. We present the first TESS-space-photom…
Revisiting the classics: On the evolutionary origin of the "Fe II" and "He/N" spectral classes of novae
E. Aydi, L. Chomiuk, J. Strader +21
The optical spectra of novae are characterized by emission lines from the hydrogen Balmer series and either Fe II or He/N, leading to their traditional classification into two spec…
Roaring to softly whispering: Persistent X-ray emission at the location of the Fast Blue Optical Transient AT2018cow 3.7 yrs after discovery and implications on accretion-powered scenarios
G. Migliori, R. Margutti, B. D. Metzger +11
We present the first deep X-ray observations of a luminous FBOT AT2018cow, at since discovery, together with the re-analysis of the observation at d…
The Jet Opening Angle and Event Rate Distributions of Short Gamma-ray Bursts from Late-time X-ray Afterglows
Alicia Rouco Escorial, Wen-fai Fong, Edo Berger +14
We present a comprehensive study of 29 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed days post-burst using and . We provide the inferred distributi…
Early spectral evolution of classical novae: consistent evidence for multiple distinct outflows
E. Aydi, L. Chomiuk, L. Izzo +18
The physical mechanism driving mass ejection during a nova eruption is still poorly understood. Possibilities include ejection in a single ballistic event, a common envelope intera…
An Empirical Study of Contamination in Deep, Rapid, and Wide-Field Optical Follow-Up of Gravitational Wave Events
P. S. Cowperthwaite, E. Berger, A. Rest +10
We present an empirical study of contamination in deep, rapid, and wide-field optical follow-up searches of GW sources from aLIGO. We utilize dedicated observations during four nig…
Late time multi wavelength observations of Swift J1644+5734: A luminous optical/IR bump and quiescent X-ray emission
A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir, G. C. Brown +10
We present late-time multi-wavelength observations of Swift J1644+57, suggested to be a relativistic tidal disruption flare (TDF). Our observations extend to >4 years from discover…
