The search for failed supernovae with the Large Binocular Telescope: a new candidate and the failed SN fraction with 11 yr of data
J. M. M. Neustadt, C. S. Kochanek, K. Z. Stanek +5
We present updated results of the Large Binocular Telescope Search for Failed Supernovae. This search monitors luminous stars in 27 nearby galaxies with a current baseline of 11~yr…
The Search for Failed Supernovae with the Large Binocular Telescope: Constraints from 7 Years of Data
S. M. Adams, C. S. Kochanek, J. R. Gerke +1
We report updated results for the first 7 years of our program to monitor 27 galaxies within 10 Mpc using the Large Binocular Telescope to search for failed supernovae (SNe) -- cor…
The search for failed supernovae with the Large Binocular Telescope: confirmation of a disappearing star
S. M. Adams, C. S. Kochanek, J. R. Gerke +2
We present Hubble Space Telescope imaging confirming the optical disappearance of the failed supernova (SN) candidate identified by Gerke et al. (2015). This re…
The Massive Star Population in M101. III. Spectra and Photometry of the Luminous and Variable Stars
Skyler H. Grammer, Roberta M. Humphreys, Jill Gerke
We discuss moderate resolution spectra, multicolor photometry, and light curves of thirty-one of the most luminous stars and variables in the giant spiral M101. The majority are in…
The Search for Failed Supernovae with The Large Binocular Telescope: First Candidates
J. R. Gerke, C. S. Kochanek, K. Z. Stanek
We are monitoring 27 galaxies within 10 Mpc using the Large Binocular Telescope to search for failed supernovae (SNe), massive stars that collapse to form a black hole without a SN…
Finding Car Analogs in Nearby Galaxies Using Spitzer: II. Identification of An Emerging Class of Extragalactic Self-Obscured Stars
Rubab Khan, C. S. Kochanek, K. Z. Stanek +1
Understanding the late-stage evolution of the most massive stars such as Carinae is challenging because no true analogs of Car have been clearly identified in the Milky Way…
