The Spectacular Ultraviolet Flash From the Peculiar Type Ia Supernova 2019yvq
A. A. Miller, M. R. Magee, A. Polin +42
Early observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) provide essential clues for understanding the progenitor system that gave rise to the terminal thermonuclear explosion. We pres…
The Broad Absorption Line Tidal Disruption Event iPTF15af: Optical and Ultraviolet Evolution
N. Blagorodnova, S. B. Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni +16
We present multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF15af, discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey at redshift $z=0.07897…
iPTF16fnl: a faint and fast tidal disruption event in an E+A galaxy
N. Blagorodnova, S. Gezari, T. Hung +30
We present ground-based and \textit{Swift} observations of iPTF16fnl, a likely tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey a…
The Palomar Transient Factory photometric calibration
E. O. Ofek, R. Laher, N. Law +20
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) provides multiple epoch imaging for a large fraction of the sky. Here we describe the photometric calibration of the PTF data products that rela…
Galaxy Zoo Supernovae
A. M. Smith, S. Lynn, M. Sullivan +21
This paper presents the first results from a new citizen science project: Galaxy Zoo Supernovae. This proof of concept project uses members of the public to identify supernova cand…
Hydrogen-poor superluminous stellar explosions
R. M. Quimby, S. R. Kulkarni, M. M. Kasliwal +24
Supernovae (SNe) are stellar explosions driven by gravitational or thermonuclear energy, observed as electromagnetic radiation emitted over weeks or more. In all known SNe, this ra…
