The rise and fall of the iron-strong nuclear transient PS16dtm
T. Petrushevska, G. Leloudas, D. Ilic +30
Thanks to the advent of large-scale optical surveys, a diverse set of flares from the nuclear regions of galaxies has recently been discovered. These include the disruption of star…
Constraints on the Progenitor of SN 2016gkg From Its Shock-Cooling Light Curve
Iair Arcavi, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, Peter J. Brown +17
SN 2016gkg is a nearby Type IIb supernova discovered shortly after explosion. Like several other Type IIb events with early-time data, SN 2016gkg displays a double-peaked light cur…
Superluminous supernova 2015bn in the nebular phase: evidence for the engine-powered explosion of a stripped massive star
M. Nicholl, E. Berger, R. Margutti +25
We present nebular-phase imaging and spectroscopy for the hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova SN 2015bn, at redshift z=0.1136, spanning +250-400 d after maximum light. The light…
The Superluminous Transient ASASSN-15lh as a Tidal Disruption Event from a Kerr Black Hole
G. Leloudas, M. Fraser, N. C. Stone +47
When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart. For a star with the mass of the Sun () and a non-spinning black hole with a…
Zooming In on the Progenitors of Superluminous Supernovae With the HST
R. Lunnan, R. Chornock, E. Berger +25
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) rest-frame ultraviolet imaging of the host galaxies of 16 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), including 11 events from the Pan-S…
