Energetic eruptions leading to a peculiar hydrogen-rich explosion of a massive star
Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell, Daniel Kasen +50
Every supernova hitherto observed has been considered to be the terminal explosion of a star. Moreover, all supernovae with absorption lines in their spectra show those lines decre…
The Emergence of a Lanthanide-Rich Kilonova Following the Merger of Two Neutron Stars
N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez +51
We report the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced LIGO/V…
Inflows, Outflows, and a Giant Donor in the Remarkable Recurrent Nova M31N 2008-12a? - Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of the 2015 Eruption
M. J. Darnley, R. Hounsell, P. Godon +14
The recurrent nova M31N 2008-12a experiences annual eruptions, contains a near-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf, and has the largest mass accretion rate in any nova system. In this p…
A long optical plateau in the afterglow of the Extended Emission short GRB 150424A: Evidence for energy injection by a magnetar?
F. Knust, J. Greiner, H. J. van Eerten +14
Short-duration GRBs with extended emission form a subclass of short GRBs, comprising about 15% of the short-duration sample. Afterglow detections of short GRBs are also rare (about…
Discovery of a Luminous Radio Transient 460 pc from the Central Supermassive Black Hole in Cygnus A
Daniel A. Perley, Richard A. Perley, Vivek Dhawan +1
We report the appearance of a new radio source at a projected offset of 460 pc from the nucleus of Cygnus A. The flux density of the source (which we designate Cygnus A-2) rose fro…
Spatially resolved analysis of Superluminous Supernovae PTF~11hrq and PTF~12dam host galaxies
Aleksandar Cikota, Annalisa De Cia, Steve Schulze +12
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are the most luminous supernovae in the universe. They are found in extreme star-forming galaxies and are probably connected with the death of mass…
