iPTF Discovery of the Rapid "Turn On" of a Luminous Quasar
S. Gezari, T. Hung, S. B. Cenko +13
We present a radio-quiet quasar at z=0.237 discovered "turning on" by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF). The transient, iPTF 16bco, was detected by iPTF in the nucl…
Common Envelope ejection for a Luminous Red Nova in M101
N. Blagorodnova, R. Kotak, J. Polshaw +30
We present the results of optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared observations of M101 OT2015-1 (PSN J14021678+5426205), a luminous red transient in the Pinwheel galaxy (M101), sp…
iPTF15dtg: a double-peaked Type Ic Supernova from a massive progenitor
F. Taddia, C. Fremling, J. Sollerman +9
Type Ic supernovae (SNe Ic) arise from the core-collapse of H (and He) poor stars, which could be either single WR stars or lower-mass stars stripped of their envelope by a compani…
Time-Varying Sodium Absorption in the Type Ia Supernova 2013gh
R. Ferretti, R. Amanullah, A. Goobar +18
Temporal variability of narrow absorption lines in high-resolution spectra of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is studied to search for circumstellar matter. Time series which resolve t…
Long-rising Type II supernovae from PTF and CCCP
F. Taddia, J. Sollerman, C. Fremling +17
Supernova (SN) 1987A was a peculiar H-rich event with a long-rising (LR) light curve (LC), stemming from a compact blue supergiant star (BSG). Only a few similar events have been p…
Integrating Temporal and Spectral Features of Astronomical Data Using Wavelet Analysis for Source Classification
T. N. Ukwatta, P. R. Wozniak
Temporal and spectral information extracted from a stream of photons received from astronomical sources is the foundation on which we build understanding of various objects and pro…
