A WC/WO star exploding within an expanding carbon-oxygen-neon nebula
A. Gal-Yam, R. Bruch, S. Schulze +46
The final explosive fate of massive stars, and the nature of the compact remnants they leave behind (black holes and neutron stars), are major open questions in astrophysics. Many…
Less than 1% of Core-Collapse Supernovae in the local universe occur in elliptical galaxies
I. Irani, S. J. Prentice, S. Schulze +39
We present observations of three Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) in elliptical hosts, detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Survey (BTS). SN 2019ape is a SN I…
AT2018lqh and the nature of the emerging population of day-scale duration optical transients
E. O. Ofek, S. M. Adams, E. Waxman +18
We report on the discovery of AT2018lqh (ZTF18abfzgpl) -- a rapidly-evolving extra-galactic transient in a star-forming host at 242 Mpc. The transient g-band light curve's duration…
The Weizmann Fast Astronomical Survey Telescope (W-FAST): System Overview
Guy Nir, Eran O. Ofek, Sagi Ben-Ami +8
A relatively unexplored phase space of transients and stellar variability is that of second and sub-second time-scales. We describe a new optical observatory operating in the Negev…
