Don't Blink: Constraining the Circumstellar Environment of the Interacting Type Ia Supernova 2015cp
C. E. Harris, P. E. Nugent, A. Horesh +12
Despite their cosmological utility, the progenitors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are still unknown, with many efforts focused on whether accretion from a nondegenerate companion…
The Broad Absorption Line Tidal Disruption Event iPTF15af: Optical and Ultraviolet Evolution
N. Blagorodnova, S. B. Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni +16
We present multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF15af, discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey at redshift $z=0.07897…
Oxygen and helium in stripped-envelope supernovae
C. Fremling, J. Sollerman, M. M. Kasliwal +23
We present an analysis of 507 spectra of 173 stripped-envelope (SE) supernovae (SNe) discovered by the untargeted Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and intermediate PTF (iPTF) survey…
Superluminal motion of a relativistic jet in the neutron star merger GW170817
K. P. Mooley, A. T. Deller, O. Gottlieb +7
The binary neutron star merger GW170817 was accompanied by radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum and localized to the galaxy NGC 4993 at a distance of 41+/-3 Mpc. The radio…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
A Case Study of On-the-Fly Wide-Field Radio Imaging Applied to the Gravitational-wave Event GW 151226
K. P. Mooley, D. A. Frail, S. T. Myers +7
We apply a newly-developed On-the-Fly mosaicing technique on the NSF's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at 3 GHz in order to carry out a sensitive search for an afterglow from…
