Supernova Siblings and their Parent Galaxies in the Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Surve

M. L. Graham, C. Fremling, D. A. Perley +19

Supernova (SN) siblings -- two or more SNe in the same parent galaxy -- are useful tools for exploring progenitor stellar populations as well as properties of the host galaxies suc…

Candidate Tidal Disruption Event AT2019fdr Coincident with a High-Energy Neutrino

Simeon Reusch, Robert Stein, Marek Kowalski +46

The origins of the high-energy cosmic neutrino flux remain largely unknown. Recently, one high-energy neutrino was associated with a tidal disruption event (TDE). Here we present A…

Accuracy of environmental tracers and consequence for determining the Type Ia Supernovae magnitude step

M. Briday, M. Rigault, R. Graziani +12

Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are standardizable candles that allow us to measure the recent expansion rate of the Universe. Due to uncertainties in progenitor physics, potential ast…

SN 2018agk: A Prototypical Type Ia Supernova with a Smooth Power-law Rise in Kepler (K2)

Qinan Wang, Armin Rest, Yossef Zenati +73

We present the 30-min cadence Kepler/K2 light curve of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2018agk, covering approximately one week before explosion, the full rise phase and the decli…

The Twins Embedding of Type Ia Supernovae I: The Diversity of Spectra at Maximum Light

K. Boone, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +34

We study the spectral diversity of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at maximum light using high signal-to-noise spectrophotometry of 173 SNe Ia from the Nearby Supernova Factory. We dec…

The Twins Embedding of Type Ia Supernovae II: Improving Cosmological Distance Estimates

K. Boone, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +34

We show how spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at maximum light can be used to improve cosmological distance estimates. In a companion article, we used manifold learning to bui…

A Search for Extragalactic Fast Blue Optical Transients in ZTF and the Rate of AT2018cow-like Transients

Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Avishay Gal-Yam +40

We present a search for extragalactic fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) during Phase I of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). We identify 38 candidates with durations above hal…

The HST See Change Program: I. Survey Design, Pipeline, and Supernova Discoveries

Brian Hayden, David Rubin, Kyle Boone +53

The See Change survey was designed to make cosmological measurements by efficiently discovering high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and improving cluster mass measureme…
