iPTF Discovery of the Rapid "Turn On" of a Luminous Quasar
S. Gezari, T. Hung, S. B. Cenko +13
We present a radio-quiet quasar at z=0.237 discovered "turning on" by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF). The transient, iPTF 16bco, was detected by iPTF in the nucl…
Far-Ultraviolet to Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of A Nearby Hydrogen Poor Superluminous Supernova Gaia16apd
Lin Yan, R. Quimby, A. Gal-Yam +8
We report the first maximum-light far-Ultraviolet to near-infrared spectra (1000A - 1.62um, rest) of a H-poor superluminous supernova, Gaia16apd. At z=0.1018, it is one of the clos…
Exploring Damped Lyman- System Host Galaxies using Gamma-ray Bursts
Vicki L. Toy, Antonino Cucchiara, Sylvain Veilleux +6
We present a sample of 45 Damped Lyman- system (DLA, \nhi\ ) counterparts (33 detections, 12 upper limits) which host gamma-ray bursts (GRB…
Radio follow-up of gravitational wave triggers during Advanced LIGO O1
N. T. Palliyaguru, A. Corsi, M. M. Kasliwal +8
We present radio follow-up observations carried out with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array during the first observing run (O1) of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-…
Type Ibn Supernovae Show Photometric Homogeneity and Spectral Diversity at Maximum Light
Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Iair Arcavi, Stefano Valenti +34
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a small yet intriguing class of explosions whose spectra are characterized by low-velocity helium emission lines with little to no evidence for hydrog…
The IPAC Image Subtraction and Discovery Pipeline for the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory
Frank Masci, Russ Laher, Umaa Rebbapragada +17
We describe the near real-time transient-source discovery engine for the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF), currently in operations at the Infrared Processing and Analy…
