SNe 2013K and 2013am: observed and physical properties of two slow, normal Type IIP events

L. Tomasella, E. Cappellaro, M. L. Pumo +28

We present one year of optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the Type IIP SNe 2013K and 2013am. Both objects are affected by significant extinction, due to their…

A population of highly energetic transient events in the centres of active galaxies

E. Kankare, R. Kotak, S. Mattila +25

Recent all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of new types of transients. These include stars disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and supernovae that are 10-100 ti…

The early detection and follow-up of the highly obscured Type II supernova 2016ija/DLT16am

L. Tartaglia, D. J. Sand, S. Valenti +45

We present our analysis of the Type II supernova DLT16am (SN~2016ija). The object was discovered during the ongoing (DLT40) one day cadence supernova search a…

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118

Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…

LSQ14efd: observations of the cooling of a shock break-out event in a type Ic Supernova

C. Barbarino, M. T. Botticella, M. Dall'Ora +29

We present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of the type Ic supernova LSQ14efd, discovered by the La Silla QUEST survey and followed by PESSTO. LSQ14efd was discovered fe…

Observations of the GRB afterglow ATLAS17aeu and its possible association with GW170104

B. Stalder, J. Tonry, S. J. Smartt +26

We report the discovery and multi-wavelength data analysis of the peculiar optical transient, ATLAS17aeu. This transient was identified in the skymap of the LIGO gravitational wave…
