Interstellar-Medium Mapping in M82 Through Light Echoes Around Supernova 2014J
Yi Yang, Lifan Wang, Dietrich Baade +10
We present multiple-epoch measurements of the size and surface brightness of the light echoes from supernova (SN) 2014J in the nearby starburst galaxy M82. Hubble Space Telescope (…
The Superluminous Transient ASASSN-15lh as a Tidal Disruption Event from a Kerr Black Hole
G. Leloudas, M. Fraser, N. C. Stone +47
When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart. For a star with the mass of the Sun () and a non-spinning black hole with a…
SN 2015bh: NGC 2770's 4th supernova or a luminous blue variable on its way to a Wolf-Rayet star?
C. C. Thöne, A. de Ugarte Postigo, G. Leloudas +13
Very massive stars in the final phases of their lives often show unpredictable outbursts that can mimic supernovae, so-called, "SN impostors", but the distinction is not always str…
ASASSN-15lh: A Superluminous Ultraviolet Rebrightening Observed by Swift and Hubble
Peter J. Brown, Yi Yang, Jeff Cooke +10
We present and discuss ultraviolet and optical photometry from the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope and X-ray limits from the X-Ray Telescope on Swift and imaging polarimetry and ultr…
