Uncovering a population of gravitational lens galaxies with magnified standard candle SN Zwicky
Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson, Steve Schulze +35
Detecting gravitationally lensed supernovae is among the biggest challenges in astronomy. It involves a combination of two very rare phenomena: catching the transient signal of a s…
From core collapse to superluminous: The rates of massive stellar explosions from the Palomar Transient Factory
C. Frohmaier, C. R. Angus, M. Vincenzi +8
We present measurements of the local core collapse supernova (SN) rate using SN discoveries from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We use a Monte Carlo simulation of hundreds of…
ZTF20aajnksq (AT2020blt): A Fast Optical Transient at With No Detected Gamma-Ray Burst Counterpart
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Paz Beniamini +27
We present ZTF20aajnksq (AT2020blt), a fast-fading ( mag in days) red ( mag) and luminous () optical transient at discovered…
Relativistic baryonic jets from an ultraluminous supersoft X-ray source
Ji-Feng Liu, Yu Bai, Song Wang +10
The formation of relativistic jets by an accreting compact object is one of the fundamental mysteries of astrophysics. While the theory is poorly understood, observations of relati…
A glimpse of the end of the dark ages: the gamma-ray burst of 23 April 2009 at redshift 8.3
N. R. Tanvir, D. B. Fox, A. J. Levan +59
It is thought that the first generations of massive stars in the Universe were an important, and quite possibly dominant, source of the ultra-violet radiation that reionized the hy…
Extreme Astrophysics with Neutron Stars
Dong Lai, Marten van Kerkwijk, Jon Arons +11
We highlight recent theoretical and observational progress in several areas of neutron star astrophysics, and discuss the prospect for advances in the next decade.
