Nebular Spectroscopy of Kepler's Brightest Supernova

G. Dimitriadis, C. Rojas-Bravo, C. D. Kilpatrick +9

We present late-time (240-260 days after peak brightness) optical photometry and nebular (+236 and +264 days) spectroscopy of SN 2018oh, the brightest Type Ia supernova (SN I…

Investigating the properties of stripped-envelope supernovae, what are the implications for their progenitors?

S. J. Prentice, C. Ashall, P. A. James +41

We present observations and analysis of 18 stripped-envelope supernovae observed during 2013 -- 2018. This sample consists of 5 H/He-rich SNe, 6 H-poor/He-rich SNe, 3 narrow lined…

Cluster Cosmology Constraints from the 2500 deg SPT-SZ Survey: Inclusion of Weak Gravitational Lensing Data from Magellan and the Hubble Space Telescope

S. Bocquet, J. P. Dietrich, T. Schrabback +77

We derive cosmological constraints using a galaxy cluster sample selected from the 2500~deg SPT-SZ survey. The sample spans the redshift range and contains 343 c…

A Search for Optical Emission from Binary-Black-Hole Merger GW170814 with the Dark Energy Camera

Z. Doctor, R. Kessler, K. Herner +96

Binary black hole (BBH) mergers found by the LIGO and Virgo detectors are of immense scientific interest to the astrophysics community, but are considered unlikely to be sources of…
