Shock Breakout and Early Light Curves of Type II-P Supernovae Observed with Kepler
P. M. Garnavich, B. E. Tucker, A. Rest +4
We discovered two transient events in the Kepler field with light curves that strongly suggest they are type II-P supernovae. Using the fast cadence of the Kepler observations we p…
Towards a Network of Faint DA White Dwarfs as High-Precision Spectrophotometric Standards
Gautham Narayan, Tim Axelrod, Jay B. Holberg +8
We present initial results from a program aimed at establishing a network of hot DA white dwarfs to serve as spectrophotometric standards for present and future wide-field surveys.…
Light Curves of 213 Type Ia Supernovae from the ESSENCE Survey
Gautham Narayan, Armin Rest, Brad E. Tucker +34
The ESSENCE survey discovered 213 Type Ia supernovae at redshifts 0.1 < z < 0.81 between 2002 and 2008. We present their R and I-band photometry, measured from images obtained usin…
A Dark Energy Camera Search for Missing Supergiants in the LMC After the Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
J. Annis, M. Soares-Santos, E. Berger +104
The collapse of the core of a star is expected to produce gravitational radiation. While this process will usually produce a luminous supernova, the optical signatue could be sublu…
A Dark Energy Camera Search for an Optical Counterpart to the First Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
M. Soares-Santos, R. Kessler, E. Berger +112
We report initial results of a deep search for an optical counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW150914, the first trigger from the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detector…
