The detection rate of early UV emission from supernovae: A dedicated GALEX/PTF survey and calibrated theoretical estimates
Noam Ganot, Avishay Gal-Yam, Eran O. Ofek +22
The radius and surface composition of an exploding massive star,as well as the explosion energy per unit mass, can be measured using early UV observations of core collapse supernov…
A real-time fast radio burst: polarization detection and multiwavelength follow-up
E. Petroff, M. Bailes, E. D. Barr +32
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most tantalizing mysteries of the radio sky; their progenitors and origins remain unknown and until now no rapid multiwavelength follow-up o…
The hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova iPTF13ajg and its host galaxy in absorption and emission
Paul M. Vreeswijk, Sandra Savaglio, Avishay Gal-Yam +24
We present imaging and spectroscopy of a hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory: iPTF13ajg. At a redshift of z=0.7403…
Exploring the spectral diversity of low-redshift Type Ia supernovae using the Palomar Transient Factory
Kate Maguire, Mark Sullivan, Yen-Chen Pan +15
We present an investigation of the optical spectra of 264 low-redshift (z < 0.2) Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory, an untargeted transient su…
IPAC Image Processing and Data Archiving for the Palomar Transient Factory
Russ R. Laher, Jason Surace, Carl J. Grillmair +26
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a multi-epochal robotic survey of the northern sky that acquires data for the scientific study of transient and variable astrophysical phenom…
Optical Follow-Up Observations of PTF10qts, a Luminous Broad-Lined Type Ic Supernova Found by the Palomar Transient Factory
E. S. Walker, P. A. Mazzali, E. Pian +22
We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SNIc-BL) PTF10qts, which was discovered as part of the Palomar Transient Factory. The supernova…
