An environmental analysis of the Type Ib SN 2019yvr and the possible presence of an inflated binary companion
Ning-Chen Sun, Justyn R. Maund, Paul A. Crowther +5
SN 2019yvr is the second Type Ib supernova (SN) with a possible direct detection of its progenitor (system); however, the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the pre-explosion so…
An imaging polarimetry survey of Type Ia supernovae: are peculiar extinction and polarization properties produced by circumstellar or interstellar matter?
Matthew R. Chu, Aleksandar Cikota, Dietrich Baade +8
Some highly reddened Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) display low total-to-selective extinction ratios () in comparison to that of typical Milky Way dust ($R_V \approx 3…
The Type Icn SN 2021csp: Implications for the Origins of the Fastest Supernovae and the Fates of Wolf-Rayet Stars
Daniel A. Perley, Jesper Sollerman, Steve Schulze +31
We present observations of SN 2021csp, the second example of a newly-identified type of supernova (Type Icn) hallmarked by strong, narrow, P Cygni carbon features at early times. T…
Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ia SN 2019ein rules out significant global asphericity of the ejecta
Kishore C. Patra, Yi Yang, Thomas G. Brink +12
Detailed spectropolarimetric studies may hold the key to probing the explosion mechanisms and the progenitor scenarios of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We present multi-epoch spectr…
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO): prototype performance and prospects for transient science
D. Steeghs, D. K. Galloway, K. Ackley +50
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is an array of wide-field optical telescopes, designed to exploit new discoveries from the next generation of gravitational…
Searching For Fermi GRB Optical Counterparts With The Prototype Gravitational-Wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
Y. -L. Mong, K. Ackley, D. K. Galloway +45
The typical detection rate of gamma-ray burst (GRB) per day by the \emph{Fermi} Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) provides a valuable opportunity to further our understanding o…
