SN 2019muj -- a well-observed Type Iax supernova that bridges the luminosity gap of the class
Barnabás Barna, Tamás Szalai, Saurabh W. Jha +38
We present early-time ( days) observations of SN 2019muj (= ASASSN-19tr), one of the best-observed members of the peculiar SN Iax class. Ultraviolet and optical photometri…
PS15cey and PS17cke: prospective candidates from the Pan-STARRS Search for Kilonovae
Owen R. McBrien, Stephen J. Smartt, Mark E. Huber +22
Time domain astronomy was revolutionised with the discovery of the first kilonova, AT2017gfo, in August 2017 which was associated with the gravitational wave signal GW170817. Since…
LSQ13ddu: A rapidly-evolving stripped-envelope supernova with early circumstellar interaction signatures
Peter Clark, Kate Maguire, Cosimo Inserra +30
This paper describes the rapidly evolving and unusual supernova LSQ13ddu, discovered by the La Silla-QUEST survey. LSQ13ddu displayed a rapid rise of just 4.80.9 d to reach a…
SN2018kzr: a rapidly declining transient from the destruction of a white dwarf
Owen R. McBrien, Stephen J. Smartt, Ting-Wan Chen +31
We present SN2018kzr, the fastest declining supernova-like transient, second only to the kilonova, AT2017gfo. SN2018kzr is characterized by a peak magnitude of , peak…
The 50-100pc scale parent stellar populations of type II supernovae and limitations of single star evolution models
P. Schady, J. J. Eldridge, J. Anderson +4
There is observational evidence of a dearth in core-collapse supernova (ccSN) explosions from stars with zero age main sequence (ZAMS) mass M_0~17-30 Msol, referred to as the 'red…
The spectral evolution of AT 2018dyb and the presence of metal lines in tidal disruption events
Giorgos Leloudas, Lixin Dai, Iair Arcavi +29
We present light curves and spectra of the tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-18pg / AT 2018dyb spanning a period of one year. The event shows a plethora of strong emission lines,…
