Luminous Type II supernovae for their low expansion velocities

Ó. Rodríguez, G. Pignata, J. P. Anderson +27

We present optical and near-IR data of three Type II supernovae (SNe II), SN 2008bm, SN 2009aj, and SN 2009au. These SNe display the following common characteristics: signs of earl…

Discovery and Rapid Follow-up Observations of the Unusual Type II SN 2018ivc in NGC 1068

K. A. Bostroem, S. Valenti, D. J. Sand +44

We present the discovery and high-cadence follow-up observations of SN 2018ivc, an unusual Type II supernova that exploded in NGC 1068 (D=10.1 Mpc). The light curve of SN 2018ivc d…

EvryFlare II: Rotation Periods of the Cool Flare Stars in TESS Across Half the Southern Sky

Ward S. Howard, Hank Corbett, Nicholas M. Law +6

We measure rotation periods and sinusoidal amplitudes in Evryscope light curves for 122 two-minute K5-M4 TESS targets selected for strong flaring. The Evryscope array of telescopes…

SN 2017gmr: An energetic Type II-P supernova with asymmetries

Jennifer E. Andrews, D. J. Sand, S. Valenti +77

We present high-cadence ultraviolet (UV), optical, and near-infrared (NIR) data on the luminous Type II-P supernova SN 2017gmr from hours after discovery through the first 180 days…

Building the Evryscope: Hardware Design and Performance

Jeffrey K. Ratzloff, Nicholas M. Law, Octavi Fors +4

The Evryscope is a telescope array designed to open a new parameter space in optical astronomy, detecting short timescale events across extremely large sky areas simultaneously. Th…

EvryFlare I: Long-term Evryscope Monitoring of Flares from the Cool Stars Across Half the Southern Sky

Ward S. Howard, Hank Corbett, Nicholas M. Law +5

We search for superflares from 4,068 cool stars in 2+ years of Evryscope photometry, focusing on those with high-cadence data from both Evryscope and TESS. The Evryscope array of s…
