A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
Characterizing The Cloud Decks of Luhman 16AB with Medium-Resolution Spectroscopic Monitoring
Kendra Kellogg, Stanimir Metchev, Aren Heinze +2
We present results from a two-night R~4000 0.9-2.5 micron spectroscopic monitoring campaign of Luhman 16AB (L7.5 + T0.5). We assess the variability amplitude as a function of press…
Supernovae 2016bdu and 2005gl, and their link with SN 2009ip-like transients: another piece of the puzzle
A. Pastorello, C. S. Kochanek, M. Fraser +52
Supernova (SN) 2016bdu is an unusual transient resembling SN 2009ip. SN 2009ip-like events are characterized by a long-lasting phase of erratic variability which ends with two lumi…
Observations of the GRB afterglow ATLAS17aeu and its possible association with GW170104
B. Stalder, J. Tonry, S. J. Smartt +26
We report the discovery and multi-wavelength data analysis of the peculiar optical transient, ATLAS17aeu. This transient was identified in the skymap of the LIGO gravitational wave…
Weather on Other Worlds. IV. H emission and photometric variability are not correlated in L0T8 dwarfs
P. A. Miles-Páez, S. A. Metchev, A. Heinze +1
Recent photometric studies have revealed that surface spots that produce flux variations are present on virtually all L and T dwarfs. Their likely magnetic or dusty nature has been…
