The ASKAP Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) Extragalactic Survey - Data Release 1

Iris de Ruiter, Dougal Dobie, Tara Murphy +13

The Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) Survey on the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) is designed to systematically explore the dynamic radio sky, detecting sources that vary on…

Discovery of a Cosmological, Relativistic Outburst via its Rapidly Fading Optical Emission

S. Bradley Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni, Assaf Horesh +26

We report the discovery by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) of the transient source PTF11agg, which is distinguished by three primary characteristics: (1) bright, rapidly fading…

Type Ia Supernovae Strongly Interacting with Their Circumstellar Medium

Jeffrey M. Silverman, Peter E. Nugent, Avishay Gal-Yam +31

Owing to their utility for measurements of cosmic acceleration, Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are perhaps the best-studied class of SNe, yet the progenitor systems of these explosions l…

Sensitive Search For Radio Variables And Transients In The Extended Chandra Deep-Field South

K. P. Mooley, D. A. Frail, E. O. Ofek +3

We report on an analysis of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (E-CDFS) region using archival data from the Very Large Array, with the goal of studying radio variability and tra…

An Early & Comprehensive Millimeter and Centimeter Wave and X-ray Study of Supernova 2011dh: A Non-Equipartition Blastwave Expanding into A Massive Stellar Wind

Assaf Horesh, Christopher Stockdale, Derek B. Fox +24

Only a handful of supernovae (SNe) have been studied in multi-wavelength from radio to X-rays, starting a few days after explosion. The early detection and classification of the ne…

Discovery and Early Multi-Wavelength Measurements of the Energetic Type Ic Supernova PTF12gzk: A Massive-Star Explosion in a Dwarf Host Galaxy

Sagi Ben-Ami, Avishay Gal-Yam, Alexei V. Filippenko +45

We present the discovery and extensive early-time observations of the Type Ic supernova (SN) PTF12gzk. Our finely sampled light curves show a rise of 0.8mag within 2.5hr. Power-law…
