Multi-wavelength Photometry and Progenitor Analysis of the Nova V906 Car
Jerrick Wee, Nadejda Blagorodnova, Bryan Edward Penprase +12
We present optical and infrared photometry of the classical nova V906 Car, also known as Nova Car 2018 and ASASSN-18fv, discovered by ASASS-SN survey on 16.32 March 2018 UT (MJD 58…
The Fast, Luminous Ultraviolet Transient AT2018cow: Extreme Supernova, or Disruption of a Star by an Intermediate-Mass Black Hole?
Daniel A. Perley, Paolo A. Mazzali, Lin Yan +60
Wide-field optical surveys have begun to uncover large samples of fast (t_rise < 5d), luminous (M_peak < -18), blue transients. While commonly attributed to the breakout of a super…
Optical and Infrared Photometry of the Nearby SN 2017cbv
Jerrick Wee, Nilotpal Chakraborty, Jiayun Wang +1
On 2017 March 11, the DLT40 Transient Discovery Survey discovered SN 2017cbv in NGC5643, a Type 2 Seyfert Galaxy in the Lupus Constellation. SN 2017cbv went on to become a bright T…
A multi-wavelength study of nearby millisecond pulsar PSR J14001431: improved astrometry & an optical detection of its cool white dwarf companion
Joseph K. Swiggum, David L. Kaplan, Maura A. McLaughlin +16
In 2012, five high school students involved in the Pulsar Search Collaboratory discovered the millisecond pulsar PSR J14001431 and initial timing parameters were published in Ro…
Circumstellar Material in Type Ia Supernovae via Sodium Absorption Features
Assaf Sternberg, Avishay Gal-Yam, Josh D. Simon +17
Type Ia supernovae are key tools for measuring distances on a cosmic scale. They are generally thought to be the thermonuclear explosion of an accreting white dwarf in a close bina…
