Self-Supervised Clustering on Image-Subtracted Data with Deep-Embedded Self-Organizing Map

Y. -L. Mong, K. Ackley, T. L. Killestein +45

Developing an effective automatic classifier to separate genuine sources from artifacts is essential for transient follow-ups in wide-field optical surveys. The identification of t…

Panning for gold, but finding helium: discovery of the ultra-stripped supernova SN2019wxt from gravitational-wave follow-up observations

I. Agudo, L. Amati, T. An +96

We present the results from multi-wavelength observations of a transient discovered during the follow-up of S191213g, a gravitational wave (GW) event reported by the LIGO-Virgo Col…

SPLOT: a Snapshot survey for Polarised Light in Optical Transients

A. B. Higgins, K. Wiersema, S. Covino +7

We present SPLOT, a small scale pilot survey to test the potential of snapshot (single epoch) linear imaging polarimetry as a supplementary tool to traditional transient follow-up.…

The X-shooter GRB afterglow legacy sample (XS-GRB)

J. Selsing, D. Malesani, P. Goldoni +53

In this work we present spectra of all -ray burst (GRB) afterglows that have been promptly observed with the X-shooter spectrograph until 31-03-2017. In total, we obtained spect…

A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant

B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1308

The detection of GW170817 in both gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves heralds the age of gravitational-wave multi-messenger astronomy. On 17 August 2017 the Advanced LIGO…

GRB091127/SN2009nz and the VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of its host galaxy: probing the faint end of the mass-metallicity relation

S. D. Vergani, H. Flores, S. Covino +36

We perform a detailed study of the gamma-ray burst GRB091127/SN2009nz host galaxy at z=0.490 using the VLT/X-shooter spectrograph in slit and integral-field unit (IFU). From the an…
