Spitzer Mid-Infrared Detections of Neutron Star Merger GW170817 Suggests Synthesis of the Heaviest Elements
Mansi M. Kasliwal, Daniel Kasen, Ryan M. Lau +8
We report our Spitzer Space Telescope observations and detections of the binary neutron star merger GW170817. At 4.5um, GW170817 is detected at 21.9 mag AB at +43 days and 23.9 mag…
Analysis of broad-lined Type Ic supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory
F. Taddia, J. Sollerman, C. Fremling +18
We study 34 Type Ic supernovae that have broad spectral features (SNe Ic-BL). We obtained our photometric data with the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and its continuation, the in…
AT2018cow: a luminous millimeter transient
Anna Y. Q. Ho, E. Sterl Phinney, Vikram Ravi +14
We present detailed submillimeter- through centimeter-wave observations of the extraordinary extragalactic transient AT2018cow. The apparent characteristics -- the high radio lumin…
The luminous host galaxy, faint supernova and rapid afterglow rebrightening of GRB 100418A
A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. C. Thoene, K. Bensch +35
Long gamma-ray bursts give us the chance to study both their extreme physics and the star-forming galaxies in which they form. GRB 100418A, at a z = 0.6239, had a bright optical an…
Four GRB-Supernovae at Redshifts between 0.4 and 0.8
S. Klose, S. Schmidl, D. A. Kann +16
Twenty years ago, GRB 980425/SN 1998bw revealed that long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are physically associated with broad-lined type Ic supernovae. Since then more than 1000 long GRBs…
The Fast, Luminous Ultraviolet Transient AT2018cow: Extreme Supernova, or Disruption of a Star by an Intermediate-Mass Black Hole?
Daniel A. Perley, Paolo A. Mazzali, Lin Yan +60
Wide-field optical surveys have begun to uncover large samples of fast (t_rise < 5d), luminous (M_peak < -18), blue transients. While commonly attributed to the breakout of a super…
