Multi-messenger observations of a flaring blazar coincident with high-energy neutrino IceCube-170922A

The IceCube, Fermi-LAT, MAGIC +13

Individual astrophysical sources previously detected in neutrinos are limited to the Sun and the supernova 1987A, whereas the origins of the diffuse flux of high-energy cosmic neut…

The First Post-Kepler Brightness Dips of KIC 8462852

Tabetha S. Boyajian, Roi Alonso, Alex Ammerman +203

We present a photometric detection of the first brightness dips of the unique variable star KIC 8462852 since the end of the Kepler space mission in 2013 May. Our regular photometr…

Optical photometry and spectroscopy of the low-luminosity, broad-lined Ic supernova iPTF15dld

E. Pian, L. Tomasella, E. Cappellaro +37

Core-collapse stripped-envelope supernova (SN) explosions reflect the diversity of physical parameters and evolutionary paths of their massive star progenitors. We have observed th…

Liverpool Telescope follow-up of candidate electromagnetic counterparts during the first run of Advanced LIGO

C. M. Copperwheat, I. A. Steele, A. S. Piascik +17

The first direct detection of gravitational waves was made in late 2015 with the Advanced LIGO detectors. By prior arrangement, a worldwide collaboration of electromagnetic follow-…
