In recent years, certain luminous extragalactic optical transients have been observed to last only a few days. Their short observed duration implies a different powering mechanism…
Early-time Spectropolarimetry of the Aspherical Type II Supernova SN 2023ixf
Sergiy S. Vasylyev, Yi Yang, Alexei V. Filippenko +13
We present six epochs of optical spectropolarimetry of the Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf ranging from 2 to 15 days after the explosion. Polarimetry was obtained with the Ka…
Rapidly Evolving Transients in Archival ZTF Public Alerts
Wenxiong Li, Iair Arcavi, Ehud Nakar +7
We search the archival Zwicky Transient Facility public survey for rapidly evolving transient (RET) candidates based on well-defined criteria between 2018 May and 2021 December. Th…
