Swift UVOT observations of the 2015 outburst of V404 Cygni
S. R. Oates, S. Motta, A. P. Beardmore +10
The black-hole binary, V404 Cygni, went into outburst in June 2015, after 26 years of X-ray quiescence. We observed the outburst with the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory. We present…
Swift spectra of AT2018cow: A White Dwarf Tidal Disruption Event?
N. Paul M. Kuin, Kinwah Wu, Samantha Oates +19
The bright transient AT2018cow has been unlike any other known type of transient. Its high brightness, rapid rise and decay and initially nearly featureless spectrum are unpreceden…
Spectroscopic diagnostics of dust formation and evolution in classical nova ejecta
Steven N. Shore, N. Paul Kuin, Elena Mason +1
A fraction of classical novae form dust during the early stages of their outbursts. The classical CO nova V5668 Sgr (Nova Sgr. 2015b) underwent a deep photometric minimum about 100…
Multiwavelength observations of V407 Lupi (ASASSN-16kt) --- a very fast nova erupting in an intermediate polar
E. Aydi, M. Orio, A. P. Beardmore +19
We present a detailed study of the 2016 eruption of nova V407 Lupi (ASASSN-16kt), including optical, near-infrared, X-ray, and ultraviolet data from SALT, SMARTS, SOAR, Chandra, Sw…
Multi-wavelength characterization of the blazar S5~0716+714 during an unprecedented outburst phase
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +187
The BL Lac object S5~0716+714, a highly variable blazar, underwent an impressive outburst in January 2015 (Phase A), followed by minor activity in February (Phase B). The MAGIC obs…
Swift UVOT Grism Observations of Nearby Type Ia Supernovae - I. Observations and Data Reduction
Y. -C. Pan, R. J. Foley, A. V. Filippenko +1
Ultraviolet (UV) observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are useful tools for understanding progenitor systems and explosion physics. In particular, UV spectra of SNe Ia, which…
