Observations of the luminous red nova AT 2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC 4631

Y. -Z. Cai, A. Pastorello, M. Fraser +73

We present an observational study of the luminous red nova (LRN) AT\,2021biy in the nearby galaxy NGC\,4631. The field of the object was routinely imaged during the pre-eruptive st…

Panchromatic evolution of three luminous red novae: Forbidden hugs in pandemic times -- IV

A. Pastorello, G. Valerin, M. Fraser +77

We present photometric and spectroscopic data on three extragalactic luminous red novae (LRNe): AT2018bwo, AT2021afy, and AT2021blu. AT2018bwo was discovered in NGC45 (at 6.8 Mpc)…

SN 2019va: A Type IIP Supernova with Large Influence of Nickel-56 Decay on the Plateau-phase Light Curve

Xinghan Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang, Hanna Sai +12

We present multi-band photometric and spectroscopic observations of the type II supernova, (SN) 2019va, which shows an unusually flat plateau-phase evolution in its V-band light cu…

SN 2018hfm : A Low-Energy Type II Supernova with Prominent Signatures of Circumstellar Interaction and Dust Formation

Xinghan Zhang, Xiaofeng Wang, Hanna Sai +13

We present multiband optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of an unusual Type II supernova, SN 2018hfm, which exploded in the nearby (d = 34.67 Mpc) dwarf galaxy PGC 1…

Discovery of the broad-lined Type Ic SN 2013cq associated with the very energetic GRB 130427A

D. Xu, A. de Ugarte Postigo, G. Leloudas +25

Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at z < 1 are in most cases found to be accompanied by bright, broad-lined Type Ic supernovae (SNe Ic-BL). The highest-energy GRBs are mostly l…
