"Refsdal" meets Popper: comparing predictions of the re-appearance of the multiply imaged supernova behind MACSJ1149.5+2223

T. Treu, G. Brammer, J. M. Diego +25

Supernova "Refsdal," multiply imaged by cluster MACSJ1149.5+2223, represents a rare opportunity to make a true blind test of model predictions in extragalactic astronomy, on a time…

Illuminating a Dark Lens : A Type Ia Supernova Magnified by the Frontier Fields Galaxy Cluster Abell 2744

Steven A. Rodney, Brandon Patel, Daniel Scolnic +27

SN HFF14Tom is a Type Ia Supernova (SN) discovered at z = 1.3457 +- 0.0001 behind the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.308). In a cosmology-independent analysis, we find that HFF14…

Multiple Images of a Highly Magnified Supernova Formed by an Early-Type Cluster Galaxy Lens

Patrick L. Kelly, Steven A. Rodney, Tommaso Treu +28

In 1964, Refsdal hypothesized that a supernova whose light traversed multiple paths around a strong gravitational lens could be used to measure the rate of cosmic expansion. We rep…

Analysis of a State Changing Supersoft X-ray Source in M31

Brandon Patel, Rosanne Di Stefano, Thomas Nelson +3

We report on observations of a luminous supersoft X-ray source (SSS) in M31, r1-25, that has exhibited spectral changes to harder X-ray states. We document these spectral changes.…

Populations of Supersoft X-ray Sources: Novae, tidal disruption, Type Ia supernovae, accretion-induced collapse, ionization, and intermediate-mass black holes?

Rosanne Di Stefano, Francis A. Primini, Jifeng Liu +2

Observations of hundreds of supersoft x-ray sources (SSSs) in external galaxies have shed light on the diversity of the class and on the natures of the sources. SSSs are linked to…
