The Cow: discovery of a luminous, hot and rapidly evolving transient
S. J. Prentice, K. Maguire, S. J. Smartt +27
We present the ATLAS discovery and initial analysis of the first 18 days of the unusual transient event, ATLAS18qqn/AT2018cow. It is characterized by a high peak luminosity (…
PS18kh: A New Tidal Disruption Event with a Non-Axisymmetric Accretion Disk
T. W. -S. Holoien, M. E. Huber, B. J. Shappee +38
We present the discovery of PS18kh, a tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered at the center of SDSS J075654.53+341543.6 ( Mpc) by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients.…
The Foundation Supernova Survey: Motivation, Design, Implementation, and First Data Release
Ryan J. Foley, Daniel Scolnic, Armin Rest +25
The Foundation Supernova Survey aims to provide a large, high-fidelity, homogeneous, and precisely-calibrated low-redshift Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) sample for cosmology. The calib…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
Observations of the GRB afterglow ATLAS17aeu and its possible association with GW170104
B. Stalder, J. Tonry, S. J. Smartt +26
We report the discovery and multi-wavelength data analysis of the peculiar optical transient, ATLAS17aeu. This transient was identified in the skymap of the LIGO gravitational wave…
Detection of Time Lags Between Quasar Continuum Emission Bands based on Pan-STARRS Light-curves
Yan-Fei Jiang, Paul J. Green, Jenny E. Greene +21
We study the time lags between the continuum emission of quasars at different wavelengths, based on more than four years of multi-band (, , , ) light-curves in the Pan-…
