A multi-wavelength investigation of the radio-loud supernova PTF11qcj and its circumstellar environment

A. Corsi, E. O. Ofek, A. Gal-Yam +20

We present the discovery, classification, and extensive panchromatic (from radio to X-ray) follow-up observations of PTF11qcj, a supernova discovered by the Palomar Transient Facto…

SN 2011ht: Confirming a Class of Interacting Supernovae with Plateau Light Curves (Type IIn-P)

Jon C. Mauerhan, Nathan Smith, Jeffrey M. Silverman +6

We present photometry and spectroscopy of the Type IIn supernova (SN) 2011ht, identified previously as a SN impostor. The light curve exhibits an abrupt transition from a well-defi…

Discovery of Bright Galactic R Coronae Borealis and DY Persei Variables: Rare Gems Mined from ACVS

A. A. Miller, J. W. Richards, J. S. Bloom +4

We present the results of a machine-learning (ML) based search for new R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars and DY Persei-like stars (DYPers) in the Galaxy using cataloged light curves f…

The Luminous Infrared Host Galaxy of Short-Duration GRB 100206A

Daniel A. Perley, M. Modjaz, A. N. Morgan +5

The known host galaxies of short-hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to date are characterized by low to moderate star-formation rates and a broad range of stellar masses. In this paper,…

SN2010jp (PTF10aaxi): A Jet-Driven Type II Supernova

Nathan Smith, S. Bradley Cenko, Nat Butler +18

We present photometry and spectroscopy of the peculiar TypeII supernova (SN) 2010jp, also named PTF10aaxi. The light curve exhibits a linear decline with a relatively low peak abso…
