Most Rotational Variables Dominated by a Single Bright Feature are CVn Stars
A. N. Heinze, Heather Flewelling, Mark E. Huber
We previously reported a rare class of variable star light curves isolated from a sample of 4.7 million candidate variables from the ATLAS survey. Dubbed `UCBH' light curves, they…
K2 Observations of SN 2018oh Reveal a Two-Component Rising Light Curve for a Type Ia Supernova
G. Dimitriadis, R. J. Foley, A. Rest +145
We present an exquisite, 30-min cadence Kepler (K2) light curve of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2018oh (ASASSN-18bt), starting weeks before explosion, covering the moment of explo…
The Cow: discovery of a luminous, hot and rapidly evolving transient
S. J. Prentice, K. Maguire, S. J. Smartt +27
We present the ATLAS discovery and initial analysis of the first 18 days of the unusual transient event, ATLAS18qqn/AT2018cow. It is characterized by a high peak luminosity (…
PS18kh: A New Tidal Disruption Event with a Non-Axisymmetric Accretion Disk
T. W. -S. Holoien, M. E. Huber, B. J. Shappee +38
We present the discovery of PS18kh, a tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered at the center of SDSS J075654.53+341543.6 ( Mpc) by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients.…
A Luminous Transient Event in a Sample of WISE-Selected Variable AGN
R. J. Assef, J. L. Prieto, D. Stern +9
Recently Assef et al.(2018) presented two catalogs of AGN candidates over 30,093 deg^2 selected from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observations. From their most re…
A First Catalog of Variable Stars Measured by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS)
A. N. Heinze, John L. Tonry, Larry Denneau +6
The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) carries out its primary planetary defense mission by surveying about 13000 deg^2 at least four times per night. The result…
