Variability at the Edge: Optical Near/IR Rapid Cadence Monitoring of Newly Outbursting FU Orionis Object HBC 722

Joel D. Green, Paul Robertson, Giseon Baek +7

We present the detection of day-timescale periodic variability in the r-band lightcurve of newly outbursting FU Orionis-type object HBC 722, taken from > 42 nights of observation w…

An Early & Comprehensive Millimeter and Centimeter Wave and X-ray Study of Supernova 2011dh: A Non-Equipartition Blastwave Expanding into A Massive Stellar Wind

Assaf Horesh, Christopher Stockdale, Derek B. Fox +24

Only a handful of supernovae (SNe) have been studied in multi-wavelength from radio to X-rays, starting a few days after explosion. The early detection and classification of the ne…

Self-shielding of Soft X-rays in SN Ia Progenitors

J. Craig Wheeler, David A. Pooley

There are insufficient super soft (~ 0.1 keV) X-ray sources in either spiral or elliptical galaxies to account for the rate of explosion of Type Ia supernovae in either the single…

A superburst candidate in EXO 1745--248 as a challenge to thermonuclear ignition models

D. Altamirano, L. Keek, A. Cumming +6

We report on Chandra, RXTE, Swift/BAT and MAXI observations of a ~1 day X-ray flare and subsequent outburst of a transient X-ray source observed in October-November 2011 in the glo…

X-Ray emission from SN 2004dj: A Tale of Two Shocks

Sayan Chakraborti, Naveen Yadav, Alak Ray +2

Type IIP (Plateau) Supernovae are the most commonly observed variety of core collapse events. They have been detected in a wide range of wavelengths from radio, through optical to…
