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…
Supernovae 2016bdu and 2005gl, and their link with SN 2009ip-like transients: another piece of the puzzle
A. Pastorello, C. S. Kochanek, M. Fraser +52
Supernova (SN) 2016bdu is an unusual transient resembling SN 2009ip. SN 2009ip-like events are characterized by a long-lasting phase of erratic variability which ends with two lumi…
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…
SN 2008S: A Cool Super-Eddington Wind in a Supernova Impostor
Nathan Smith, Mohan Ganeshalingam, Ryan Chornock +10
We present visual-wavelength photometry and spectroscopy of supernova SN2008S. Based on the low peak luminosity for a SN of M_R = -13.9 mag, photometric and spectral evolution unli…
