Hunting Gravitational Waves with Multi-Messenger Counterparts: Australia's Role
E. J. Howell, A. Rowlinson, D. M. Coward +12
The first observations by a worldwide network of advanced interferometric gravitational wave detectors offer a unique opportunity for the astronomical community. At design sensitiv…
Measuring nickel masses in Type Ia supernovae using cobalt emission in nebular phase spectra
Michael J. Childress, D. John Hillier, Ivo Seitenzahl +34
The light curves of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are powered by the radioactive decay of Ni to Co at early times, and the decay of Co to Fe from ~60 days…
The Difference Imaging Pipeline for the Transient Search in the Dark Energy Survey
R. Kessler, J. Marriner, M. Childress +60
We describe the difference imaging pipeline (DiffImg) used to detect transients in deep images from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova program (DES-SN) in its first observing season…
OzDES multi-fibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: first-year operation and results
Fang Yuan, C. Lidman, T. M. Davis +99
OzDES is a five-year, 100-night, spectroscopic survey on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, whose primary aim is to measure redshifts of approximately 2,500 Type Ia supernovae host ga…
On the diversity of super-luminous supernovae: ejected mass as the dominant factor
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +37
We assemble a sample of 24 hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe). Parameterizing the light curve shape through rise and decline timescales shows that the two are highly c…
