A 12.4 day periodicity in a close binary system after a supernova
Ping Chen, Avishay Gal-Yam, Jesper Sollerman +37
Neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes are the remnants of massive star explosions. Most massive stars reside in close binary systems, and the interplay between the companion s…
Shock cooling emission from explosions of red super-giants: II. An analytic model of deviations from blackbody emission
Jonathan Morag, Ido Irani, Nir Sapir +1
Light emission in the first hours and days following core-collapse supernovae (SNe) is dominated by the escape of photons from the expanding shock heated envelope. In a preceding p…
ULTRASAT: A wide-field time-domain UV space telescope
Y. Shvartzvald, E. Waxman, A. Gal-Yam +41
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is scheduled to be launched to geostationary orbit in 2026. It will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field o…
The Large Array Survey Telescope -- System Overview and Performances
E. O. Ofek, S. Ben-Ami, D. Polishook +38
The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is a wide-field visible-light telescope array designed to explore the variable and transient sky with a high cadence. LAST will be composed…
The scientific payload of the Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT)
Sagi Ben-Ami, Yossi Shvartzvald, Eli Waxman +45
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is a space-borne near UV telescope with an unprecedented large field of view (200 sq. deg.). The mission, led by the Weizma…
Shock cooling emission from explosions of red super-giants: I. A numerically calibrated analytic model
Jonathan Morag, Nir Sapir, Eli Waxman
Supernova light curves are dominated at early time, hours to days, by the escape of photons from the expanding shock heated envelope. We provide a simple analytic description of th…
