The First Swift Intensive AGN Accretion Disk Reverberation Mapping Survey
R. Edelson, J. Gelbord, E. Cackett +32
Swift intensive accretion disk reverberation mapping of four AGN yielded light curves sampled 200-350 times in 0.3-10 keV X-ray and six UV/optical bands. Uniform reduction an…
A hot and fast ultra-stripped supernova that likely formed a compact neutron star binary
K. De, M. M. Kasliwal, E. O. Ofek +24
Compact neutron star binary systems are produced from binary massive stars through stellar evolution involving up to two supernova explosions. The final stages in the formation of…
The Berkeley Sample of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae
Isaac Shivvers, Alexei V. Filippenko, Jeffrey M. Silverman +22
We present the complete sample of stripped-envelope supernova (SN) spectra observed by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) collaboration over the last three decades: 888 s…
A UV Resonance Line Echo from a Shell Around a Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernova
R. Lunnan, C. Fransson, P. M. Vreeswijk +21
Hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSN-I) are a class of rare and energetic explosions discovered in untargeted transient surveys in the past decade. The progenitor stars and…
Swift spectra of AT2018cow: A White Dwarf Tidal Disruption Event?
N. Paul M. Kuin, Kinwah Wu, Samantha Oates +19
The bright transient AT2018cow has been unlike any other known type of transient. Its high brightness, rapid rise and decay and initially nearly featureless spectrum are unpreceden…
A year in the life of GW170817: the rise and fall of a structured jet from a binary neutron star merger
E. Troja, H. van Eerten, G. Ryan +6
We present the results of our year-long afterglow monitoring of GW170817, the first binary neutron star (NS) merger detected by advanced LIGO and advanced Virgo. New observations w…
